Lafayette, Vacaville, and Rocklin.
By B. A. Stephens
August 14-17, I met with the friends in Lafayette, and spoke in Pacheco on the Sabbath, and baptized four in Galindo's lake. Spoke upon temperance the last evening, and had the pleasure of hearing even some outside of our faith decide to leave their tobacco. The Lord gave freedom. August 22-24, in company with Bro. Haskell, met with the Vacaville church. Every one in the church signed the teetotal pledge and joined the Health and Temperance Association. The tithing system was adopted without a dissenting voice. August 25-31, labored with the friends in Rocklin; baptized four, organized a church of eight, and ordained Bro. Griffin P. Davis elder, and Bro. J. I. Davis deacon. Sister. M. E. Ertle was elected church clerk. There are several others who will unite with the church, who were absent. Some outside the church signed the anti-rum and tobacco pledge here.
