Reports from the Field.

Woodland, Cal.

We have had the sixty foot tent at this place for five weeks. The attendance has been good. The preaching fell upon me. Bro. Grainger labored in visiting, and Bro. Hurley had charge of the music and as we have some superior voices among our people at Woodland this feature added largely to the interest. Eighteen persons—seventeen of them adults—have signed the covenant. Five have been baptised. Several others are keeping the commandments.
My labor was more than my strength could endure, and for two weeks I suffered very much from a pain in my lungs and a severe cough which reduced my strength rapidly and I was forced to stop preaching until I recovered. Am now at my home in Healdsburg and able to be up and walk about but have no strength for hard work of any kind, but trust that with rest and the blessing of God I will soon be able to enter the field again.
Brother Stephens is now at Woodland and will continue meetings a few evenings, presenting some subjects upon which I did not have time to dwell, and give a little more time and opportunity to the many who are convinced, and admit the truth; may they come before the door of mercy closes.
Healdsburg, June 21. W. M. HEALEY.
