PETALUMA AND HEALDSBURG.
By Mrs. L. M. Hall
Leaving Oakland for Petaluma, Friday P. M., March 19, we arrived just before the commencement of the Sabbath, at the good home of Brother and Sister Chapman, whose doors and hearts are always open to receive those striving to advance the cause of truth. Sabbath morning Sister White spoke to the church assembled at their place of worship, from the words of Christ, Matt. 5 : 13: “Ye are the salt of the earth; but if the salt have lost its savor, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.” Her remarks were impressive, showing the fearful consequence of encouraging a spirit of questioning, of doubt, and unbelief. Following her discourse was an interesting social meeting. The Stony Point Church was well represented, and several were in from other places. It was stated that the largest number were present that had met together in their church for two years. In the evening Sister White spoke in the M. E. Church on the subject of temperance, also Sunday afternoon at the Theater. Sunday at 5 P. M., took the cars for Healdsburg, where Sister White had an appointment for the same evening, at 7:30. Before the hour for service had arrived, the house was well filled with an intelligent audience, who listened to her discourse with manifest interest. Through the occasional labors of Eld. Healey, since the camp-meeting, the work here has been moving on and some precious souls are taking their stand for the truth. It is deeply regretted that Eld. Healey's health will not permit continued efforts in the field. MRS. L. M. HALL.
