THE PACIFIC COAST.

(Abridged from the Signs of the Times.)

Milton, Salem, and Eola, Oregon.

Nov. 10 and 11, Eld. J. N. Loughborough held meetings in Milton. At the close of one of the discourses, twenty came forward for prayers. Two united with the church. The s. b. pledge was raised from $185 to about $300, $72.67 were pledged for the T. and M. fund, besides pledges to other enterprises.
In the churches which Bro. L. has visited, the s. b. pledge has been raised from $416in 1877 to $819.84 for 1878, and $245.97 on the missionary one-third. Besides this, they have pledged $2,500 in stock to the P. S. D. A. Publishing Association, and over $200 of the $300 to the Conference Missionary fund, which it is proposed to raise by January, 1878.
Elds. Loughborough and Van Horn were at Salem, Nov. 17 and 18. At this meeting Bro. Alonzo T. Jones was ordained to the work of the gospel ministry. The s. b. pledge was raised from $146.50, one-half of which had been used for meeting-house rent and other expenses, to over $300 per year, all good to the Conference, and about $90 to the missionary one-third. This church has also pledged over $300 to the Oakland office stock and the missionary fund of the North Pacific Conference.
Sunday and Monday evenings, Nov. 18 and 19, Elds. Loughborough and Van Horn held meetings with the small church at Eola, where the s. b. pledge was raised from $118 to $130, with the one-third added; $270 were pledged on the other enterprises mentioned.

Napa, Cal.

Sabbath, Nov. 24, Bro. W. M. Healey was with the church at Napa, preaching twice to good audiences. He thinks this a promising field of labor. At Vacaville, where Bro. Stephens is laboring, there is a good interest, and fourteen have commenced the observance of the Sabbath.

Lafayette, Cal.

Brn. Gillett and Glenn visited the little company here Nov. 24, and found them rejoicing in the truth and letting their light shine. One was keeping his second Sabbath; others are interested in the truth from reading. This is a good field for missionary work.
