Reports from the Field.

By J. L. Wood

Los Bolsa and San Pasqual, Cal.

SINCE my last report four more have signed the covenant in the Los Bolsa neighborhood. The tithing system has been adopted, a set of Sister White's works been bought by the church, and the majority have signed the teetotal pledge. Bro. A. F. Brown has been chosen leader and Sister E. B. Marden church clerk. The Sabbath-school has been fully organized, and several have become members of the T. and M. Society.

Nov. 29 and 30 I met with the few Sabbath-keepers in San Pasqual and Bear Valley, San Diego county. Found them all holding on and trying to walk in the light.

In San Pasqual and Bear Valley there are several families of Adventists, some of whom moved from the Northern churches and some came out from reading. They are somewhat isolated, but the Lord will hear prayer made in the wilderness, and will answer the prayers of those who keep his commandments. 1 John 3 : 22.

Our visit seemed to encourage them; the Lord blessed, and we had a good meeting. The tithing system was adopted, and twenty-three signed the teetotal pledge.
