North Pacific Conference.
By Charles L. Boyd
LAST Tuesday evening I had the privilege of meeting with Brethren Starr and Ward in the tent at Vancouver, and addressing an attentive audience on the subject of Conversion. From the first there has been a good attendance at the tent, and already quite a number have commenced the observance of the Sabbath, while others are in the valley of decision. An interest has been awakened a few miles distant in the country, and an urgent call is given for the tent to come to that locality. Brother Reed reports a good interest at Highland, where he is holding meetings. A company of three will soon start for the southern part of the State, to engage in the canvassing work. Pray that God may crown their efforts with success, and that through the printed page many may be instructed in present truth, and led to see that all their boasted interests are soon to pass away. Last Sabbath and Sunday I spent with the Salem church. I found them in a very hopeful condition. The officers of the church told me that never before had so much of the sweet Spirit of God been enjoyed in their meetings as now. On account of the closeness in money matters, some feared that the twenty copies of SIGNS taken by the missionary society would have to be decreased. At our last meeting this subject was presented, and in a few minutes a club of thirty-three, including as many Supplements, was provided for. A member not present also takes a club of seven copies. I am now on my way to Corvallis and other points south and southwest. C. L. BOYD.
