North Pacific Conference.
By Charles L. Boyd
A COMMENDABLE interest is being awakened in the colporter and canvassing work. Some are preparing for labor and others have already entered the field. One sister, alone, has sold upwards of 250 copies of "Sunshine at Home," to as many different families, during the past few months. The SIGNS has accompanied those sold since the General Conference. Reports returned show that members of two of these families have commenced to observe God's Sabbath. Our ship and missionary work is producing a radical change in the minds of the people. Ministers are among those who approach our agents and inquire for our publications. May God bless all who read. I have recently held meetings with the churches at Salem, Beaverton, and East Portland. A degree of union and harmony prevails, which shows plainly that the Spirit of God is working in our midst. At the last named place, the new church, built a little more than a year since, is so soon found too small to accommodate the increasing congregation, and is now being enlarged. Brethren and fellow-laborers, the long-promised end is fast approaching. Is each family throughout the long line of our Conference to hear the truths of the Third Angel's Message before the decree goes forth? Then it is high time for us to awake and gird on the armor.
