Report from Lake River, W. T.

By H. W. Reed; W. C. Ward

THIS is a farming district seven miles north of Vancouver. An interest was awakened here while Brethren Starr and Ward were laboring at that place.

We commenced meetings here Sept. 10. Remained twenty-one days and held twenty-two meetings. The house was well filled with very attentive listeners. We have never witnessed better order. We found some very kind and hospitable people. The Lord blessed in presenting the truth. A Sabbath-school of twenty-one members was fully organized. A club of ten Instructors for one year was ordered, and money raised to nearly pay for them. Six signed the covenant. Our parting meeting was characterized by a deep moving of the Spirit of God.

We sold two Bibles, and two of the brethren

subscribed for our leading journals, Review and Herald and the Signs of the Times. We left them in good courage. Elder F. D. Starr will meet with them occasionally. May God save them is our prayer. H. W. REED, W. C. WARD.
