The Missionary.

By S. Fulton

NORTH PACIFIC CONFERENCE.

THE results of the week of prayer are being felt throughout the Conference; and to many it was a season of great profit. The program for Christmas was fully carried out by but a few companies, as many of the churches are small and thought they could not attend to it. The amount donated as Christmas offerings was $1,075.21.

Since the week of prayer, I have been visiting some of the churches in the northern part of the Conference. I first visited Carleton. Some of the brethren there seem to be in real earnest. I next attended the dedication of the church at Tacoma. The building is neat and commodious. We were glad to have the brethren from Sumner meet with us at that point. Nine united with the church.

I next met with the church at Seattle. This company is growing in numbers, and I trust in grace also. Their new house of worship, which has lately been completed, is a credit to the society.

From Seattle, I went to Spring Brook and Maple Valley, in company with Brother Davis. Some few at Spring Brook have lately begun the observance of the Sabbath through the efforts of Brother Benson in the Bible work. Others are interested. We enjoyed a good meeting at Maple Valley. This church has been for some time in a low condition spiritually. But lately there have been some members added who are proving a blessing to the cause at that place. Eight united with the church, six by baptism and two by letter.

The ordinances of the Lord's house were celebrated at each church visited, and a good, tender spirit seemed to prevail throughout. We are glad to see our brethren and sisters awakening to the important issues that are upon us.

Remonstrances against the Blair bill are being zealously circulated by one or more from each of these churches. On my way home, I spoke on National Reform at Tacoma and Sumner. S. FULTON.
