Walla Walla, Dayton, and Pataha.
By Isaac D. Van Horn
I, with my family left Salem and arrived in Walla Walla April 2. The quarterly-meeting here was well attended. The most of the members have adopted the tithing system. April 8 and 9 I was with the Dayton church and found them united. This church is doing nobly in financial matters and in the T. and M. work. The Lord is blessing them and they are prospering. They are taking steps to build a meeting house. The evening of the 10th, I spoke in Bro. Hopkins' neighborhood, near Tukama. The audience manifested much interest. I think this would be a good point to hold a series of meetings. Friday, I went to Pataha Prairie, where we had the tent last fall. We were much pleased to find them firmly established in the present truth. We held five meetings with them, baptized one brother, and organized a church of ten members. They fully and heartily adopted the tithing system. There seems to be, all through this country, an ear to hear the truth. Preparations are being made quite generally to attend the camp-meeting the 4th of June. April 17, 1879. I. D. Van Horn.
