Los Angeles and Downey, Cal.

By E. A. Briggs, M. C. Israel

WE stopped at Los Angeles after the general meeting, and held several preaching services and Bible readings, visiting the brethren and sisters at their homes in the meanwhile. Four were baptized; three, a father and two sons, united with the Los Angeles church.

We came to Downey June 4th. Our 50-foot tent arrived here the same day. Commenced meetings on the evening of the 6th, with a fair attendance. The village has a population of about 300. The surrounding country is thickly settled, the land being divided into small farms, and dotted with school houses in every direction. We hope a good work may be done here. Pray for us.
