California

Los Gatos.—It has been a long time since I have reported through the REVIEW. About the middle of May I began work under the supervision of the Georgia Conference. I was directed to go to Luthersville, and labor as the Lord opened the way. Two accepted the truth, and were with us at a part of our camp-meeting held in Atlanta, Ga.

The blessing of the Lord was present at this good camp-meeting. During the meeting it was decided that I should go out with one of the tents; but circumstances developed that made it seem best that I should leave the State; and as I had been recommended through correspondence with Dr. G. H. Heald to go to a drier climate on account of my chronic throat trouble, it was agreed that I should go west to New Mexico, Arizona, or California.

I started for California, September 1, and am now about five miles from Los Gatos. The view from this place is one of the grandest that may be obtained from these mountains. The air is pure and usually dry. To-day we had our first shower.

I sleep with both ends of my tent wide open. My throat has wonderfully improved. I think that a little longer stay will clear my throat from this chronic bronchitis.

I go down to Los Gatos every Sabbath, and speak to the little church. We are planning to purchase a lot and build a church. The brethren and sisters are much pleased with the thought of having a church-building.
