Cloverdale.—At Cloverdale, where Brn. Grainger and Hurley have been laboring, six have signed the covenant.

San Jose.—There are a few here trying to live out “present truth.” There are eight names on the tithing pledge, and the same number on the teetotal pledge. The Sabbath-school has two classes, children and adults. A club of six Instructors is taken. The Congregational church is rented for regular Sabbath meetings. The tithing boxes have been taken by nearly all. There is some outside interest.

I now go to Gilroy, Cal., to hold a series of meetings. B. A. STEPHENS.

Los Angeles Co.—The cause of present truth in this county is still progressing. Several took a stand on the truth while the tent was in Westminster. A large amount of unreasonable prejudice exists against the truth in this part of the country; but the message here, as in most places, gathers the most conscientious and substantial people of the community. The Lord has blessed our labors, and we now have quite a company that meet to worship on the true Sabbath.

I have put away the tent, and will now labor in school-houses as the way opens. Last Sabbath was a good day for us. While four willing souls followed their Lord in baptism, the Spirit of God was in our midst. J. L. WOOD.
