Placerville, Tent No. 3.

By B. A. Stephens

Meetings were commenced here, Sabbath eve, July 5; the average attendance has been one hundred. Tracts and papers are freely taken, and money flows into the contribution box at a rate, if continued, to pay the running expenses. Brother Isaac Cross, of Sacramento, makes an excellent tent master. Brother H. T. Brown, of Lafayette, is present, and will assist in canvassing the town with our books and periodicals. This is the first preaching of present truth in the foot-hills of the Sierra Nevadas, and the people say it is something new; they are hospitable, and supply our temporal wants. There seems to be an interest to hear, and we do hope that some seed will fall into good ground. B. A. Stephens. July 7, 1878.
