THE PACIFIC COAST.

(Abridged from the SIGNS OF THE TIMES.)

Eld. U. Smith held meetings at Napa and St. Helena, Cal., May 12 and 13. He says, “The confidence and interest of the brethren and sisters in the great truths of this time, and their good cheer in the cause of the Lord, were pleasant to behold.”

Of the San Francisco church Eld. Loughboro says, “Light is breaking in, and the waters are moved in the entire church. At the commencement of the Sabbath of May 26, we had a heart-searching time in our prayer-meeting.” A missionary meeting was held evening after the Sabbath, at which it was voted to take 30 copies of the SIGNS in addition to the 50 already taken by the church.

From the North Pacific Mission, Eld. I. D. Van Horn writes, stating that at Jefferson, Oregon, he and Bro. Jones gave six discourses the last of April. Twelve covenanted to keep the Sabbath.

Under date of May 14, Brn. Healey and Stephens report having given nine lectures of a series, in a tent, at Dixon, Cal., to an audience of about 130. Only a commencement is yet made.
