SINCE leaving Nevada, Eld. J. N. Loughborough has held meetings at Red Bluff, Sacramento, and Vacaville. At Red Bluff deep interest was manifested. The people are very anxious to have meetings held here. Our own people pledged $75 and the seats for the tent, besides their liberal S. B. pledge, if the tent could come.

On Sabbath, March 2, Eld. L. held two meetings in the Antelope district, where Brn. Israel and Brorsen held meetings this winter. Four were received into the Red Bluff church.

Four discourses were given at Vacaville, March 9 and 10. Not one of those who came out on the truth here has given it up, and there is a growth in grace and earnestness on the part of the church.

THE meetings here continue to draw good audiences. Sunday evening, March 10, was devoted to the temperance question, Mrs. E. G. White addressing the large audience. Dr. Dio Lewis was present and made some remarks; others also took part, and the meeting seemed to be pleasant and profitable.

The California Christian Advocate published an editorial on the Sabbath question, which Eld. Healey is reviewing. No new argument is presented in the Advocate, but about all the old ones, although they conflict with one another.

Twenty-three have signed the covenant here, thirteen have been baptized, and others are almost persuaded.
