Santa Rosa.

As the result of the meetings recently held at Santa Rosa by Eld. W. M. Healey, fifty-three persons have signed the covenant, and eighteen have been baptized. Although most of these persons are poor, they have pledged over one hundred dollars S. B. for 1879. There is quite a good interest manifested by some here who have not identified themselves with us.

Vacaville, Woodland, Rocklin, and Sacramento.

Bro. E. R. Gillett has held profitable meetings with these companies. At Vacaville 77 copies of the SIGNS were taken, at Woodland 112, at Rocklin, 32, at Sacramento 20. At the three latter places, V. M. societies were organized.

Napa and St. Helena.

Dec. 7, 8, Bro. M. C. Israel held meetings with the church at Napa. The meetings were good. Twenty-three copies of the SIGNS were taken, and a V. M. society was organized.

Tuesday, Bro. Israel was at St. Helena. Here fifty copies of the SIGNS were taken, and a V. M. society was organized.
