Eugene City, Oregon.

ELDER A. T. JONES began meetings in the tent in Eugene City, July 19. There were about fifty present the first evening, and the third evening their numbers had increased to about three hundred. There seems to be some interest awakened already. Mrs. Jones plays the organ which is a help to the meetings. The attendance will probably be greater after harvest. Eugene city is the county seat of Lane county.

In a later report Elder Jones states: “The interest in this place is excellent. The numbers in attendance have increased from the first, till last night, July 28, there were fully four hundred out to hear on the subject, Who changed the Sabbath? We are now in the midst of the Sabbath and law question. Some are deeply interested, and by next Sabbath we hope for quite a number to attend our first Sabbath meeting. The people are quite friendly. The city papers have given quite favorable notices of our meetings.”
