The Missionary.

By W. M. Healey; M. C. Israel

Fresno, Cal.

WE came here the 13th inst., and have held meetings with the church each day and evening since. Quite a number came in from other churches and attended the meetings.

A good interest was taken in the work, and the brothers and sisters seem desirous of getting nearer to God, and of doing something to advance his cause.

It was decided to employ one or more colporters to canvass for the SIGNS and obtain subscriptions as far as possible, and at the same time obtain the names of those who desire to read but do not wish to subscribe; these names are to be sent to the T. and M. Societies in the district; by this means it was thought we could avoid sending papers to persons unknown and who have no desire to read. Pledges were made by those present to support these colporters to the amount of $36.75 per month for six months. A committee was chosen to district the town, and see that a thorough canvass be made for the Sabbath Sentinel also. W. M. HEALEY. M. C. ISRAEL.
