Vacaville and Woodland.

I SPENT the quarterly meeting occasion with the church at Vacaville, and had a profitable season. Held several meetings with them, which were well attended by our people. Several from the outside were present and manifested considerable interest. One backslider promised to again renew the conflict against sin.
I spoke twice at the Udel school-house, eight miles from Vacaville, and although the nights were foggy and very dark, and the people all lived at quite a distance from the school-house, we had a good attendance. At this place I held a series of meetings six years ago, and several embraced the message. At the present time I think additions could be had to the cause, both here and at Vacaville, could the work be followed up.
The Woodland church held their quarterly meeting one week late, so that we were present with them. I had sent appointments for meetings to begin Thursday evening, Jan. 11, and continue over the next Sunday, but from the first there has been a good attendance of those who desire to hear the evidence of our faith and hope. This, and the wants of the church, decided me to continue meetings through the present week. I hope to see some good done, but, on account of other work, do not expect to be able to remain as long as the growing interest would seem to demand. W. M. HEALEY. Woodland, Jan. 19.
