Toledo, Benton Co., Oregon.
By Alonzo T. Jones
Meetings began here July 20; to this time have given twenty discourses. The attendance has not been large, as there are not many people in the neighborhood, and all live on Yaquina Bay, and many of them on the sloughs, where they can get out only at high tide. As high tide and the time of meeting do not often come together, the attendance of such is very uncertain. A few were keeping the Sabbath here before the meetings, and three others have taken their stand firmly upon the truth. Sabbath, Aug. 2, was a blessed day to us here. Seventeen were at the meeting, ten of whom signed the covenant. We had an excellent social meeting. One brother walked twenty-six miles on Friday to be at the meetings, and he said he was richly paid. Aug. 5, 1879. Alonzo T. Jones.
