Santa Rosa, Healdsburg, and Petaluma
By M. C. Israel
I visited these churches on December 15th, 18th, and 21st. With the assistance of Elder Healey, a Vigilant Missionary Society at Santa Rosa of eleven members was organized, who subscribed for a club of twenty-seven copies of the SIGNS in addition to those taken by the church. At Healdsburg and Petaluma these societies had been organized by Elder Loughborough several years ago. New officers were elected and a club of twenty-five SIGNS for Healdsburg, and twenty-three for Petaluma were taken in addition to the clubs taken by these churches. Those who took hold feel that this is a move in the right direction and they expressed a determination to engage more earnestly in the missionary work. We were disappointed in not getting a greater number of our paper into active service to commence with, but we hope as soon as these societies get fairly at work large additions will be made. M. C.
