Gilroy and Hollister.

By John Norton Loughborough

The cause of truth is gaining ground in both of the above places. Our tent-meeting in Hollister closed Sunday evening, Sept. 5. On the closing day of our meeting, S. B. was organized amounting to $106.60 per year. A delegate was elected to our coming State Conference. A vote was passed requesting the watchcare of the Conference.

Up to the time of closing this tent-meeting, eighteen had signed the covenant. One of these has moved to Gilroy so that there are now seventeen enrolled in each place, and still others in each place who are keeping the Sabbath, who have not as yet signed the covenant, but doubtless will do so when they have an opportunity. Since my last report others have made pledges to S. B. in Gilroy. The figures for that company now stand $187.20 per year. The pledges we expect will be raised to about $300 per year in the two places.

As it was necessary to have the tent at the factory, in order to enlarge it for camp-meeting and for use in San Francisco, we closed the meetings as above stated, but Bro. Waggoner still remains to follow up the interest, while I attend to duties connected with preparations for camp-meeting.
