Beaverton, Oregon.

By Alonzo T. Jones

ON February 25, I went to Beaverton, and stayed until March 25, during which time I gave twenty-one discourses and on March 24, the friends from Butte school-house met those of Beaverton at Ames Chapel which is about half way between, and we organized the church of Seventh-day Adventists of Beaverton, consisting of eighteen members, fourteen of whom were baptized.

With that singular unanimity which has become characteristic of S. D. Adventists Brother R. D. Benham was chosen, (by ballot,) as their leader, Brother E. Squires, treasurer and Sister S. J. Benham, clerk.

Their s. b. pledges amount to $58.13 and, there are some who have not made their pledges, but who will do so soon, which will increase this amount.

There are others who we hope will soon join with these. They are now in good condition spiritually, and we pray that they may increase more and more.

May our heavenly Father bless the young church at Beaverton. Brethren pray for us.
