North Pacific Conference.
By I. D. Van Horn
Last Sabbath and Sunday I spent in Carrollton, Cowlitz county, Washington Territory. I found five Sabbath-keepers who had covenanted together to hold meetings, and one other who was keeping the Sabbath. I gave five discourses, and the congregations averaged about thirty. The roads were very muddy, the notice short, and the weather stormy. All things considered the attendance was good, and the impression made by the truth on those who heard was very favorable. They gave me an urgent request to come again which I think I will comply with in April next. I organized s. B. for 1878, the five pledging $11.60, and the one-third $3.80. They paid my traveling expenses down and back, and said they would cheerfully do more if they had it. I think there is a favorable opening to bring more into the truth and form a good church. The interest in Portland and East Portland is not sufficient to keep us here longer. We believe we can serve the cause better by moving to Salem. We shall move there within two weeks. So our P. O. address, freight office and express office, where all our mail, etc. should be sent, will be Salem, Oregon. I. D. VAN HORN.
