KNIGHT'S FERRY, CAL.

By J. D. Rice

BEGAN meetings in this place, May 22. Audiences have been small, but there is evidently some interest awakened. Prejudice is being broken down, and the people are more desirous to hear. We are endeavoring to teach them "publicly and from house to house," and the fruits of the latter are as encouraging, to say the least, as those of the former.
We feel encouraged to labor for the people here. They have a church which we have the free use of, but which for years has seldom been occupied. Occasionally a minister happens around and preaches to the people. This has not always been so. Once this was the county seat, and contained about a thousand inhabitants. Now there is hardly more than a tithe of that number, and, at this season of the year, many of them are away selling fruit, or have gone to the mountains with their stock. There are a few living on the opposite side of the river, who attend. We hope to see some fruit for God's kingdom in this place. Pray for us.
J. D. RICE.
