Lakeport and Ukiah.

By J. D. Rice

I came to Lakeport the 4th, and remained over two Sabbaths. Organized a church of seventeen members. Baptized two on Sabbath afternoon. Elder E. J. Church, formerly an elder in St. Helena church, was elected elder of this. We are hopeful for this young church if they continue faithful and walk humbly before God.

I spent a couple of days with the little company at Ukiah. Though their number is somewhat diminished by removals they still retain their regular Sabbath, and Tuesday evening prayer and missionary meetings.

Left them of quite good courage, and desirous of increasing their usefulness in the work of the Third Angel’s Message. J. D. RICE. Little River, Cal., May 18, 1883.
