Beaverton, Oregon.

By Alonzo T. Jones

WHEN I arrived at Beaverton on January 2, I found the church in affliction by the "buffetings of Satan" who had obtained an advantage of some. But by drawing near to God we soon reached that place where each could look upon his own, and not another's faults, and by contrition of heart, and confession of sins, our God was entreated of us, and soon the church stood free, and took hold, with a mind to work. Every one heartily pledged to the Lord his tithe, and $86,00 were pledged to the British Mission. The Dime Tabernacle was remembered also somewhat "after a godly sort."
Considering that about all the members of this church are poor, and what they do get is by the hardest, I think they have done well, and I hope that their zeal may provoke to emulation a great many others in this District, No. 3. ALONZO T. JONES. Jan. 5, 1879.
