Beaverton, Oregon.

By Alonzo T. Jones

I WAS in Beaverton when Brother Loughborough started to California. I stayed until December 3, when I went about six miles from there to the Butte school-house. I remained until January 10, and gave thirty-seven discourses, and as a result eleven took their stand on the side of present truth. As I had to leave at that time to attend the District Quarterly meeting of the T. and M. Society. Brother R. D. Benham kindly consented to meet with them until my return. He is a faithful man in the truth and an excellent leader. On January 15, I went to Jefferson, Marion county, and stayed till the 28th and gave thirteen discourses. This is where I held meetings a year ago, there were thirteen who signed the covenant. Several of these have moved away, and three have gone back. We could do nothing toward perfecting an organization. Yet as an interest has been awakened where those have gone who have moved away, we hope for much good as the result of labor performed in Jefferson. My address is Salem, Marion county, Oregon.
