Patit Creek, W. T.—We held tent meetings here nearly four weeks. One was immersed; two commenced keeping the Sabbath; a band of nineteen brethren and sisters was formed, and we organized a Sabbath-school of three classes. Our review of the Disciple minister on the law and Sabbath may result in a debate. We expect to effect a church organization here sometime this coming autumn. Three adult Sabbath-keepers, living near, have not yet joined the band. ARSH September 23, 1880, page 220.1

We are now at Alpowa. Our pavilion is erected on one of the high “foot-hills” of the Blue Mountain. We have been told that our elevation is 4,000 feet above sea level, but for this we cannot vouch. The attention is delightful. Our auditors are kind and attentive, and some have decided to obey. ARSH September 23, 1880, page 220.2
