Gilroy, Cal.

Our meetings continue with good interest. Last Sabbath nine arose as Sabbath-keepers, and others have told us that they will keep it. We have just fairly got the message before the people, and it is too early to form any definite opinion of the result. Last night we had the largest number that have been out since I have been here. So we think the interest is not abating.
The truth is working strongly on the minds of quite a number who have not heretofore had any interest in the Bible. We shall earnestly pray that they may have grace and wisdom to make a right decision.
We have good order, and I have never been in a place where there was more respect paid to our rights. Nothing thus far has been molested by night or by day. Though California has a hard name, I am inclined to think that tent meetings can be held here with as great security and quietness as in any State in which I ever labored.
We earnestly desire the prayers of all friends of the cause that the truth may have free course and be glorified. J. H. WAGGONER. June 21, 1875.
