San Jose.

By W. M. Healey

OUR meetings here have not been accompanied by that spirit of intense interest which we sometimes see in places where the people are eager to hear. Many here have heard something of our faith, and try to think that it does not matter whether they do just as the Lord says or not; that they will be excused if they do break His law. But some have thankfully received the pure "word" and are rejoicing in it. Twenty-six have signed the covenant, including a few who have been keeping the Sabbath for some years past. Our Sabbath meetings are quite interesting. The attendance averaging about thirty adults, and a number of children. We have hope that the camp-meeting will result in good to the cause here. Brethren Wm. Ings, Henry Scott, and Sister Alta Morrison, with my wife, are still here to follow up the missionary work. The other workers have returned to the school, except Bro. Frank Lamb, who is at San Juan, laboring to build up the work there.
