A Word From Oregon.

By I. D. Van Horn

[The following from Salem, Oregon, is from a private business note, dated Aug. 3. It came too late for the Progress Department.]
We are having an excellent meeting here in Salem. This is the capital of the State, and a city of between five and six thousand inhabitants. We have a regular attendance of full three hundred. We have canvassed the prophecies and the Sabbath question, and a good many are much interested in them. Last Sunday night we called for all who were convinced that the seventh day is the Bible Sabbath to rise up, and about one hundred responded. How many of these will keep the Sabbath we do not know; but from all appearances there will be quite a company here. We are having decidedly a better interest here than in any other place I have been in on this coast. We hope for a good start here that it may be a sort of head quarters for the work in Western Oregon.
