New Year's Fast Day.

By Editor

THE season of fasting and prayer was quite generally observed in Oakland by the church. We regretted that any were absent. After the usual devotional exercises, we spoke briefly on Scripture examples, Scripture injunctions, and the use and object of fasting. After this there was a season of prayer.
In the afternoon business meeting all present, with only one exception, signed the tithing pledge. Twelve dollars were received on donations to the Dime Tabernacle. Some remarks of interest were made by different persons on the subject of tithing. It is calculated that this scriptural plan, faithfully carried out, will be a great help to the cause of truth.
