Oakland and San Francisco.

For the last few weeks the meetings in these cities have been very important and encouraging. The preaching of the word has taken deep hold upon the minds of the churches, and several have taken decided and advanced steps in the Christian life. The San Francisco mission has secured a most excellent position on Fremont Street, No. 316. The location is in a quiet and highly respectable neighborhood; terms unexpectedly favorable. The Oakland Missionary Society has resolved to employ a canvasser or canvassers for this city. Voluntary labor is altogether insufficient to accomplish the purpose, as so few have time to spare for the work. All feel that "the Lord's work must be done." Time is short, and we are not doing a tithe of what is needed to be done, and what we must do. The Third Angel will speak "with a loud voice," Rev. 14:9-12. Our prayer is, Lord, speed on the work.
