San Francisco.

By I. D. Van Horn

OUR tent-meeting is still in progress. Average attendance now about one hundred. A good portion of these are regular, and seem deeply interested. Conviction of duty is strongly resting on the minds of many who attend. The cross may be too heavy for some, but a few are deciding for the truth.

Yesterday, Sabbath, August 19, we had one of the best meetings we ever enjoyed in this church. The Spirit of the Lord was present to a degree that was felt by all. At the close of the meeting two more joined the church, making six accessions up to this date. Eleven more are keeping the Sabbath, five of whom have signed the covenant.

Brother and Sister McClure are doing good work by visiting interested parties. This kind of work is productive of much good in a series of meetings with a tent.

The church as a whole is being benefited and strengthened by the effort made with the tent this season in this city. We hope soon to see a united band of devoted brethren and sisters in Christ, engaged in the one great object of pushing forward the last message of mercy.
