North Pacific Conference.
By Charles L. Boyd
My meetings at Pleasant Home closed a week ago. The attendance and interest for the most part were good. The opening of spring, which brought a rush of work, together with a temporary sickness on my part, prevented as favorable an issue of these meetings as was hoped. A Sabbath-school was organized, and a club of ten Instructors ordered. I hope to see others added to this little company of such as will stand in the great day of God's wrath. Last Sabbath and first-day I spent at East Portland. This church has had some trials to pass through, but the outlook is encouraging. A deacon was elected, and properly set apart for his important duties. At the missionary meeting, held on first-day, reports showed this to be a working company. There are evidences that some of the seed being sown is falling on good ground. To all missionary workers I want to say, Be of good courage; sow the precious seed wherever an opportunity may be found, then watch and cultivate it with tender care. Much good seed sown on fruitful soil is lost for want of proper care. I fear such sowers are not doing altogether "well."
