San Francisco, Cal.

Sixteen have signed the covenant here, and others are deciding and will probably soon take a stand for the truth. Bro. Loughborough and Healey intend to remain here at least another week, and to labor for those interested. Bro. Israel was to join them, and give himself entirely to the missionary work.
