REPORT OF MEETINGS.

WE pitched our tent in Grant's Pass, June 26. About fifty were out at our first meeting. We remained there until August 12, holding in all about forty public services, congregations ranging from thirty to one hundred and fifty. The interest was good nearly all the time. Only two opposition discourses were given, one by a Presbyterian and one by a Methodist, both taking the no-law position. A large portion of our hearers are convinced that we have the truth. As a result of our effort thirteen signed the covenant. Three were baptized. Six others are keeping the Sabbath, and there are others for whom we have strong hope. Since taking down the tent we have held two Sabbath meetings at a private house. Brother T. H. Starbuck was with us one Sabbath and gave an excellent discourse, which was appreciated by all present. We have a Sabbath-school of over thirty members.

August 12 we came to this place, pitched our tent, and began meetings Wednesday evening, August 14, with a congregation of one hundred and forty. Have now given five discourses with increasing attendance and interest. We have calls to visit on every side. We shall endeavor to go forward in the fear and strength of God. We ask the prayers of all that the work may prosper in our hands, and as a result, souls be saved in the kingdom of God.
