WASHINGTON TERRITORY.

By H. W. Read

BRUSH PRAIRIE.—I am now at this place, which by direct line is about twenty miles from Portland, Or. I have come here for the purpose of holding a series of meetings on points of our faith. During the past summer Bro. John Cole did some colporter work in this community. I came here last evening. The people are somewhat scattered. I have visited some families, also the school now in session, giving out notice of the meetings. I shall commence Sunday at 11 A. M. I believe that God is with me by his Holy Spirit. I can see his guiding hand leading me to this place. Since coming to this Conference, my time has been mostly taken up by our city mission at East Portland. I am pleased to report that it is doing a good work, which eternity alone can reveal. I am of good courage, and hope and pray that God's blessing may accompany my feeble efforts. I have many eastern friends, and I beg an interest in their prayers. H. W. READ.
