The Cause at Vacaville.
By J. E. White
NOTWITHSTANDING the most obstinate opposition, the cause of present truth at Vacaville is in a prosperous condition. September 25, at the commencement of lectures by Brother Stephens there were about twenty Sabbath-keepers in the vicinity of Vacaville. On our arrival, December 26, to attend the discussion elsewhere noticed, we found that twelve had been added to their number and had signed the covenant. Many others seemed waiting the result of the discussion before making a final decision. Before the Sabbath question was concluded others had taken their stand, and at the time of leaving, December 31, the number was increased to at least twenty, and others deeply interested. What added much to the interest of the meetings was the presence of Mrs. White, who arrived Friday noon, and spoke four times in the large Baptist college hall, thus occupying the time omitted in the discussion between Friday evening and Monday morning. This removed much prejudice. Sabbath afternoon we organized one of the most interesting Sabbath-schools we have met in California. The membership of this school reaches over sixty, and will probably reach seventy or eighty. All seemed anxious to take hold of this work according to the plan adopted by the State Sabbath-school Society. Brother Healey will remain after the discussion to follow up the good work begun. We look for good results from the work at Vacaville. J. E. WHITE.
