Los Angeles, Cal.

By William Ings

According to appointment, the meetings with this church commenced the 5th inst. Nine discourses were given, and five Bible-readings and two missionary meetings were held. Two of the discourses were given by Brother Loughborough after his return from Santa Barbara County. This church had been passing through severe trials, which had to a great extent separated them from God; but as the meetings progressed, the good Spirit of God returned, confessions were made, and harmony was restored. To God be all the praise.

Arrangements were made for more active work in circulating our publications. A good supply of tracts was ordered for the furtherance of the work in this beautiful city of thirty-two thousand inhabitants. Twelve dollars' worth of publications were sold, and some subscriptions were obtained for our periodicals, and we left that company feeling that a great load had been removed. They are now in a good condition to work in the Master's vineyard. May God help them from this time forward to watch and pray, lest they enter into temptation. In company with Brother Loughborough, I go to Lemoore to fill appointments there.
