Tulare and Fresno Counties, Cal.
By H. A. St. John
LEMOORE.—From April 9-12 I held meetings with the Lemoore church, in Tulare County. These meetings were all quite well attended by the believers. BURROUGH VALLEY.—Held meetings with this church in their mountain-girt valley from April 18-23. Nearly all the inhabitants of this beautiful little valley are Sabbath-keepers. Six names were added to a covenant to keep the truth as far as understood. I enjoyed my stay and meetings here very much. It was indeed a green spot in my pilgrimage. FRESNO.—Closed meetings in Fresno, eve after the Sabbath, April 26. Had only four meetings with this church. A longer stay might have been more profitable. Each meeting was well attended, and the Sabbath meetings were deeply interesting. I am now homeward bound, after an absence of about three months and a half. I have had the privilege of forming acquaintance with churches and many believers all through southern California. And, although it has not always been pleasant, nor have I always been well, yet to me it has been a very interesting tour. And I thank God that upon returning I can report as good health, at least, if not better, than when the journey was entered upon. To be fitted to do the work of the Lord, by an unction from the Holy One, is the absorbing desire of my soul. Oakland, Cal., April 27, 1885.
