Los Angeles, Cal.

By M. C. Israel

WE close our meetings, that have been held on the camp-ground, on Sunday night, and expect to commence again Thursday night, June 19, in east Los Angeles, two miles and a half from the present location, on Truman Street, near Downey Avenue, on which the horse-cars run, making it convenient for persons to attend from this part of the city, and being also the most central locality there.

The attendance here has not been large since the camp-meeting, but the same persons mainly have come regularly. Eight have signed the covenant, and five have been baptized, and others expect to be soon. There is also quite a number of interested readers who have been supplied with publications and papers by Brethren Swayze, Morton, and McElhany. Our work has been crippled by losing the services of Elder Healey, who has been confined to his bed for two weeks with typho-malarial fever. He is recovering slowly, but will not be able to assist any more in our meetings here. He will return to Healdsburg as soon as he is able. Elder Briggs has done the preaching since Elder Healey was taken sick. We will do the best we can to get the truth before the people, and ask an interest in your prayers that the Spirit of the Lord may attend the effort.

The church at Los Angeles feel very much encouraged and are taking hold with a will to help in the work. Ten have recently been baptized. They have a good Sabbath-school of about fifty members. The Tract and Missionary Society take a club of fifty SIGNS and 200 Sabbath Sentinels. Several of the hotels and the library have purchased the SIGNS Binder and are being supplied by the Society with the SIGNS every week, also with the Sentinel. We feel encouraged for the work here.
