Pacheco.

By E. R. Gillett

LAST Sabbath and Sunday, in company with Sister White and Brother and Sister Baker, I attended meeting in Pacheco. Friday evening at 7:30 quite a company were assembled to hear Sister White. She spoke over one hour in her usual earnest and instructive manner. Her testimony was timely, and well received. On Sabbath at 11 A. M., she spoke again, having good freedom. This was followed by an interesting social meeting in which all save two took part. Nearly ever one expressed themselves as having been greatly strengthened and encouraged by the sermon, and more determined than ever to press forward.

This being one of the new churches, they had never been organized in the tract and missionary work, and for this object, and to get them into working order, I visited them. A meeting had been appointed for this purpose the evening after the Sabbath. At the close of the social meeting, Sister White made some remarks upon the importance of this branch of the work. This prepared the minds of those present to enter heartily into the work. I think every member of the church enrolled their names as members of the T. and M. society. E. R. GILLETT.
