Lafayette, Vacaville, and Rocklin.—Aug. 14–17, I met with the friends in Lafayette, and spoke in Pacheco on the Sabbath, and baptized four in Galindo’s lake. Spoke upon temperance the last evening, and had the pleasure of hearing even some outside of our faith decide to leave their tobacco. The Lord gave freedom.
Aug. 22–24, in company with Bro. Haskell, met with the Vacaville church. Every one in the church signed the teetotal pledge and joined the Health and Temperance Association. The tithing system was adopted without a dissenting voice.
Aug. 25–31, labored with the friends in Rocklin; baptized four, and organized a church of eight. There are several others who will unite with the church, who were absent. Some outside the church signed the anti-rum and tobacco pledge here.
