The North Pacific Mission.
We are receiving good news from Elder Van Horn, relative to the work in the Walla Walla Valley. Congregations and interest remain good. In a letter of the 15th he writes: “The cause of truth is moving steadily on among us. The several ministers of the place, seeing this are becoming alarmed, and begin to oppose us openly. Yesterday (Sunday) two of them, the Methodist and Congregational, gave discourses on the change of the Sabbath. We dismissed our meeting and heard them. Nothing new was brought to light by either of them against the Bible Sabbath. We reply to these discourses to-morrow evening. “Some of the ministers have been out in the country and have spoken against us. But as far as we can learn it is all working in our favor. We are told that we have already the largest church in the place except the Catholic. We have some thoughts of taking steps to build a meeting house. We may not move the tent now till after harvest.”
