PACIFIC COAST.

[Abridged from the SIGNS OF THE TIMES.]

North Pacific Conference.

Since the 30th of July, Bro. Van Horn has been laboring at Walla Walla, Milton, and Dayton. Bro. W. L. Raymond has assisted in these meetings.

The Dayton church has been fully organized, three have been disfellowshipped, and two received by baptism. The church now numbers nineteen, and is in a prosperous condition. At a new place thirty miles from Dayton, ten commenced to keep the Sabbath.

Five united with the church at Milton, two by baptism and three by letter. This is a strong church, numbering thirty-four members.

California.

Bro. M. C. Israel held meetings in the interest of the tract and missionary society with the churches at San Jose and Gilroy. The brethren and sisters took hold heartily. At Pacheco and Lafayette Bro. E. R. Gillett held meetings for the same purpose, with very encouraging results. Although the churches in these places are small, forty-nine copies of the SIGNS are taken for missionary work.
