PLACERVILLE,—Feb. 26 we began meetings here, which continued for three weeks; and as the result nine persons promised to walk in harmony with all points of our faith, and six adults were baptized. Meetings were held during the day to strengthen and encourage those already in the faith. Much time was spent in giving instruction in the missionary work. Thirty-six yearly subscriptions were added to their club of Signs. All pledged to faithfully pay the Lord’s tenth. Five subscriptions were taken for Good Health and three for the REVIEW. Over $25 worth of Bibles and other books were sold, and $25 were donated to the work. We left the friends greatly encouraged. Wm. Ings. E. A. Briggs.

FERNDALE,—We have just closed a series of meetings on Dow’s Prairie, Humboldt Co., resulting in seventeen’s signing the covenant to keep all the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. Some others are keeping the Sabbath, who we trust will soon fully take their stand. We also organized a Sabbath-school of twenty-nine members, and established regular Sabbath meetings. Forty-five signed the anti-whisky and tobacco pledge, a number signing the teetotal pledge also. April 13. N. C. McClure. F. L. McClure.
