E. A. BRIGGS

By E. A. Briggs

From Los Angeles County.

APRIL 7 I began a short series of meetings in the church at Los Angeles City. This church has long been weighed down with debt. They have, however, just exchanged the lot on which their meeting-house stood for a more central one, and received about a thousand dollars in money besides. Thus the church is cleared of debt, and all the members seem to be of good courage.

We had several well-attended meetings at Norwalk, and on Sabbath, April 17, the Lord's Supper was celebrated and a local elder was ordained.

I also visited Santa Ana and found there a Sabbath-school containing forty-four members, which seems to be in a prosperous condition.

I have just begun a course of meetings in a school-house at Duarte, a thickly settled rural district where the present truth has never been preached. The people here seem willing to listen, and we trust that, with the blessing of God, some good will be accomplished.

My post-office address for several weeks to come will be Duarte, Los Angeles Co., Cal.
