DUARTE, LOS ANGELES COUNTY:—I have been holding meetings in this vicinity for about two months, which have resulted in five baptisms, and fourteen persons taking a stand to keep all the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. As there were several Seventh-day Adventists here before I came, we have organized a church and Sabbath-school, and have started a tract and missionary society of fifteen members. We trust that the present truth is permanently established at this place; and that our brethren here will not only "hold the fort," but exert themselves to spread the truth abroad. I expect to begin tent-meetings tonight in Pomona, Los Angeles County; which will be my post-office address until August fifteenth.
