NORTH PACIFIC MISSION.

By I. D. VAN HORN

We now have our tent pitched in the pleasant town of Oregon City. This is the oldest town in the State of Oregon, and contains about one thousand inhabitants, We have held meetings about two weeks, and the average attendance is about one hundred. A number are much interested, but none have yet decided for the truth. We are having much rain here yet, and the weather is cool, which makes it very unpleasant for tent-meetings. We cannot expect much of a congregation in such weather.

We can say an encouraging word to the T. & M. Societies in reference to the case of Bro. and sister McCord, who live near this place. A number of years ago, sister Jane Higley, of Lapeer, Mich., sent some books and tracts to this family, by reading which they embraced the truth. They have been keeping the Sabbath for six years or more, and never saw a Sabbath-keeper until we came here this spring. They are zealous for the truth and very devoted, and are much respected in the neighborhood where they live.

Keep sending out the reading matter, and the seed thus sown will show fruit in the gathering day. I. D. VAN HORN.
