Meetings at Vacaville.

By James Edson White

According to appointment, Bro. Stephens spoke Friday evening on the binding nature of the Law of God. Nearly all of the Sabbath was devoted to the Sabbath-school work. A thorough re-organization was effected, all expressing a determination to make it a success.

In the afternoon, a teachers' meeting was held, in which plans for the future were considered.

One favorable feature of this school is the punctual attendance of all its members. Although some live from two to nine miles distant, yet a member is seldom absent. The teachers' meeting was adopted, and the class contribution boxes and the maps were taken.

In the evening, I spoke on the importance of the doctrine of the second coming of Christ, showing that the twenty-fourth chapter of Matthew does not apply entirely to the destruction of Jerusalem, as some of the ministers in that vicinity are teaching.

All are looking forward with deep interest to Bro. Haskell's meeting with them. We promise for him a good attendance and interest.
