North Pacific Conference.
By Charles L. Boyd
We held our last meeting in the tent last evening. The results of our missionary efforts and meetings is not yet fully developed. Seven or eight have expressed their decision to keep the Lord's Sabbath with the rest of the commandments of God. Others attend the Sabbath meetings whom we trust will yet take a decided stand. One week ago last Sabbath, two willing souls were baptized in the Willamette River. One of these is a promising young man who emerged from the darkness of skepticism into the glorious light of the Third Angel's Message. One story of a building, in the most central part of town, to be used for a public reading-room, State T. and M. Depository, and Librarian's rooms, is now ready for the work of the mason, which commences to-day. By the grace of God we expect to make this a missionary station, from which we trust the light of truth will be sent by railroad, by ships, and steamers, to lands both near and far. CHAS. L. BOYD.
