IDAHO AND WASHINGTON TERRITORY.
By J. W. Scoles
ALTHOUGH some time has elapsed since I have sent in a report of labor, I have not been altogether idle. During the latter part of November, I began a series of meetings in Garfield, Wash., continuing three weeks, and resulting in ten adults accepting the truth. December 13 to January 2 I held meetings at Viola, Idaho, with the company brought out during our tent-meetings there last summer. The good work was confirmed in several hearts, and on December 30 nine willing souls, one of them a lady over seventy years of age, went forward in the ordinance of baptism. In the afternoon a church of ten members was duly organized, with proper officers, and a Tract and Missionary Society was also organized. Here is a church without a single former Sabbath-keeper connected with it, and if some of our brethren who are determined to change their location desire to get where they can be a real help to others, here is an opportunity. From January 3 to February 10 I labored with the church at Moscow, Idaho. This church has just completed a neat chapel for public worship, and is prospering spiritually also. As the result of the effort made at this time five new ones decided to keep all the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. February 23 and 24 Elder D. T. Fero met with us at Garfield, and assisted in the organization of a church of seventeen members, two more being baptized at this time. As we leave this Conference for other fields of labor, it is with the prayer that the blessing of God may so attend his cause both here and elsewhere, that we shall soon see the work closed up; and when the blessed Master shall come, may we, with those for whom we have labored, be permitted to enter into the rest that remains for the people of God.
