MONK HILL, LOS ANGELES CO., CAL.
By E. A. Briggs
I HAVE been holding meetings in this place, which is a suburb of Pasadena, for the last few weeks. These services have resulted in seven adults signing the covenant to keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, and six baptisms. Several of these persons are soon to take their departure for different States in the East; but they declare their determination to cling to their new-found treasure of light and truth, and to endeavor to spread the same in those distant localities. During our meetings here, a neighboring congregation took a vote as to whether they should hereafter observe Saturday as the Sabbath. Quite a number were desirous of doing so if the whole church would go with them, but as the majority would not keep God's fourth commandment, the minority yielded to man rather than to God. Yet the Lord's work is making real progress; and the Pasadena church, with whom the Monk Hill Sabbath-keepers have united, is of good courage. My post-office address hereafter will be, Rivera, Los Angeles Co., Cal. E. A. BRIGGS.
