San Francisco.

The meetings in the tent at San Francisco have now reached the most interesting point, where souls are deciding to obey the truth. There are about one hundred interested hearers, and some have already decided in favor of the truths presented by Brn. Loughborough and Healey.

Sunday evening, May 12, Sr. White gave an earnest discourse from John 15:1-10, which was well received by the people, and moved hearts.

Red Bluff, Tent No. 3.

May 12, Brn. Israel and Stephens report from Red Bluff that ten have signed the covenant. One of them was buried in baptism that day.

Pacheco.

Sabbath and Sunday, May 11 and 12, Sr. White, Bro. and Sr. Baker, and Bro. E. R. Gillett attended meeting in Pacheco. Friday evening at 7:30 quite a company were assembled to hear Sr. White. She spoke over one hour in her usual earnest and instructive manner. Her testimony was timely and well received. On Sabbath at 11 A. M. she spoke again, having good freedom. This was followed by an interesting social meeting, in which all but two took part. Nearly all expressed themselves as having been greatly strengthened and encouraged by the sermon, and as being more determined than ever to press forward.
