Meetings at Oakland.

By James White

It has been our privilege to again visit Oakland during the annual meeting of the Pacific S. D. A. Publishing Association, and although we have done but little we have been cheered by meeting the brethren and taking some part with them. On the Sabbath, 6th inst., we took part in the ordination services of our dear Brother M. C. Israel to the work of the gospel ministry. Appropriate remarks were made on the occasion by Elder Loughborough, ordination prayer by the writer, charge by Elder Loughborough. It was an occasion of great solemnity.
In the evening of the same day it was our privilege to unite with Elder Loughborough in the ordinances of the Lord’s house, in which the Oakland church now much increased in numbers took part. God has recently been blessing this people greatly and there have been valuable accessions to the church. May grace, mercy and the love of God abide with us till Jesus comes. J. W.
