Pleasant Grove, California.
By E. A. Briggs
I HAVE been holding meetings at this place for several weeks, and a company of fourteen members has been organized as the result. One lady was already keeping the commandments when I arrived. The physician of the place has been selected as leader; and he is presenting a good example before the other Sabbath-keepers by setting his face against tobacco, pork, coffee, and tea. The people about Pleasant Grove generally acknowledge that our arguments on the Sabbath question are Scripturally unanswerable, but they have been promised that, after my departure, they shall be shown by history that the Sunday sabbath is all-right. May the Lord help his people to prefer the commandments of God to the traditions of men. My post-office for the present will be Wyandotte, Butte County. E. A. BRIGGS.
