Visit to San Francisco.
By James White
Sister Isabella Moore was among the first to embrace the Sabbath in San Francisco, very soon after the opening of the mission in California by Elders Loughborough and Bourdeau. She has maintained a consistent firmness in adhering to the faith, and in the discharge of her duties as a true Christian lady from the first. But sickness of a dangerous type came upon her about a year since, upon which she has been balancing in point of health and life, between hope and fear, more recently however the matter has seemed to be decided that her stay on these mortal shores was very brief, and agreeable to her request, as stated in the last weeks SIGNS, we have this day, Sabbath, May 11, administered to her the Lord's supper. Several of the earliest friends of the cause joined in this solemn ordinance at the house of her son-in-law, Gov. Holden. Mrs. Holden, the worthy daughter of Sister Moore is not a practical Seventh-day Adventist, but we were glad that she partook of the emblems, while tears flowed freely. Hers has been a sacred trust in so faithfully caring for one of God's dear children, for which she will not lose her reward. As we shook Sister Moore's hand and expressed our last farewell she stated that she did not expect to see us again; to which we replied, probably not until we meet to eat bread in the kingdom of God. May we all prove faithful and meet our dear sister with all the family of the redeemed around the supper table of the Lamb.
