Tent-Meeting in Gilroy.

By Joseph Harvey Waggoner

SINCE our last report we have had some encouragement. We have now about twenty keeping the Sabbath here, and we are hoping for some others. Have appointed to baptize to-morrow.

The religious interest is small in this place, and we consider our success quite good under the circumstances. Of course many are convinced who make no sign toward moving at present. Some of them will doubtless quench the light they have received, but we hope some of them will yet act up to their convictions.

We do not see our way clear to leave here before July 18, and have appointed a closing meeting at that time when we hope to see all the scattered friends in the Santa Clara valley and adjacent sections. We hope they will not come merely in hope to get revived here, but come with the revival spirit in their hearts to help those who have newly come to the faith. Come praying, and ready to work. Pray for our meetings.
