LAST Sabbath meeting in Oakland was an occasion of interest and importance. In the forenoon we spoke on Job. 22:21. Five members were received, and three names dropped. The committee on nominations reported. Baptism was appointed to take place, providence favoring, in two weeks. In the afternoon the roll was called, and 84 responded; and some letters were received from non-resident members. The officers were elected as follows:— Pastor—J. H. Waggoner.
Elders—C. H. Jones and E. J. Waggoner.
Deacons—W. N. Glenn and John I. Tay.
Treasurer—John I. Tay.
Clerk—James B. Leavitt. The ordinances were celebrated. Notwithstanding the large number of matters attended to, the meetings were not so long as to be tedious, and an excellent feeling prevailed.
