PACIFIC COAST.

[Abridged from the SIGNS OF THE TIMES.]

Oakland and San Francisco, Cal.

In the SIGNS of April 11, Bro J. N. Loughborough says that “the meetings of the past two Sabbaths and first-days have been seasons of interest and profit.” Sister White spoke four times and Bro. L. twice. The church were glad to have the presence and counsel of Bro. and Sr. White at the yearly meeting of the Pacific S. D. A. Publishing Association.

In the quarterly meeting of the Oakland church, most of the members were either present to respond to their names or sent written testimonies. Two were received into the church, and three as candidates for baptism and admission into the church. Two signed the covenant at San Francisco.

Beaverton, Oregon.

March 24, Bro. A. T. Jones organized a church at Beaverton, consisting of eighteen members, fourteen of whom were baptized. The S. B. pledge amounts to $58.13, which sum will probably be increased by some who have not pledged.

Pleasant Valley, Cal.

As the result of meetings just held here by Bro. J. L. Wood, six have signed the covenant, others are keeping the Sabbath, and others are investigating.
