Norwalk, Los Angeles Co., Cal.
By E. A. Briggs
OUR meetings at this place have closed. A neat church has been built and entirely paid for. This building was dedicated to the Lord's service Jan. 19, to the great satisfaction of the newly gathered company of commandment-keepers, who have been so active and self-sacrificing in its erection. A church society of thirty members has been organized. Besides these, there are about as many more covenant members who we hope will soon unite with the church. Five were baptized last Friday, which makes twenty-seven in all who have received this ordinance at my hands in this place. Sabbath, Jan. 26, we had the ordinances of the Lord's Supper, and a blessed meeting it was. My post-office for the next few weeks will be El Monte, Los Angeles Co., Cal. May the Lord continue to rouse up the honest-hearted and to bring them to the observance of "the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus." Jan. 29, 1884. E. A. BRIGGS.
