Lake County.

By John Norton Loughborough

As APPOINTED in the SIGNS, I have spent the last ten days in Lake Co. I met Bro. Healy at Lower Lake, and we held meetings jointly there two Sabbaths and First-days, beside this he held several meetings in the week-time, while I was traveling through the mineral regions of the county, camping out, and obtaining some recreation from the mental pressure of the past few months. God has blessed even while resting, and I return with recuperated energies to take hold in the work where duty demands.

A number of those who embraced the truth during Bro. Healy's lectures last winter remain to meet together, while some have moved away. There are now in the county sixteen or eighteen Sabbath-keepers. These are not all so situated as to meet every Sabbath, although some of them hold their regular Sabbath meeting and Sabbath-school at Lower Lake. Several who have not yet taken their stand are much interested in the truth. Bro. Healy now designs to return to the county in July, and follow up the work there.

On Sabbath, June 12, I baptized three adults at Lower Lake. On Sunday, the 13th, s. B. was organized amounting to $106.60 per year. Sixteen names are now attached to the covenant to keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus Christ. A leader and clerk have been appointed and a resolution was passed requesting the watchcare of the Cal. Conference of S. D. Adventists.
