Oakland and San Francisco.

By Editor

It was our pleasure to meet with the church in Oakland last Sabbath, Nov. 16. A good sized congregation was present, and we trust the occasion was not only one of pleasure but of profit to all.

Sunday evening we spoke in San Francisco. Besides a goodly number of familiar faces we saw quite a number whom we never saw before. The difficulty of keeping up a congregation in a city where the people are so constantly changing their residences, may be judged from the fact that thirty-two of their number have moved away during the year 1878. But this does not hinder the work as these carry the truth with them to other parts.

Our meeting was a cheering one. Our own heart was warmed as we presented the infinite value of the Saviour’s sacrifice and work for us.
