Oakland.

By W. M. Healey

OUR tent meeting, which has been in progress for seven weeks, closed last night. Forty-three have signed the covenant. Thirty have been baptized, two of whom have been converted from the Roman Catholic faith. We rejoice that so many have been brought into the truth as the result of this meeting. This is by no means the extent of the influence that has been exerted. We have made many friends to our cause outside of those who have united with us, who are investigating these things. An extensive field is now open for the tract and missionary workers to follow up the work. God has greatly blessed his people in this city, we hope and pray that they may be faithful to the responsibilities resting upon them.

We ship the tent to-day to Yountville, Napa county, where we expect to commence meetings Friday of this week and continue until camp-meeting. May God's blessing rest upon the work.
