Vancouver, Washington Territory.
By H. W. Reed
TENT labor at Vancouver closed last Sunday. Twenty-three signed the covenant, besides several others who had been keeping the Sabbath but had not had an opportunity of signing the covenant before. Twelve precious souls were buried with Christ in baptism in the Columbia River on Sunday, and several others will follow them soon. Everything passed off pleasantly. Brethren Starr and Cole have moved the tent to La Camas, on the Columbia River, about fourteen miles above Vancouver. There is no doubt that a strong church will be organized at Vancouver. Brother Ward and I are now at Pooley's District, seven miles north of Vancouver. We shall commence meetings to-night. I hope that God will bless us here and at Vancouver as we occasionally labor for those there who have lately embraced the truth. September 9, 1885. H. W. REED.
