CORVALLIS, BENTON CO., OREGON.
By W. L. Raymond
Elder Van Horn and myself pitched our tent and commenced meetings in Forest Grove, Washington Co., the 9th of July, and continued our labors there for four weeks. At first our meetings were very well attended from the surrounding country, but as the harvest came on, and the attendance was not large from the town, we thought best to move our tent to some larger place during harvest, and so came to Corvallis. Here we find a people with willing ears and of friendly appearance, some of whom have already given us substantial aid, and all seem friendly. Our audiences average from one hundred to one hundred and fifty. We have given nine discourses, and the people are beginning to purchase books and tracts, seemingly with a determination to know whether these things are so. We hope to give a good report from this place before we leave.
