RIO-LINDA, CALIFORNIA.

On Saturday, Oct. 25, at 7 P. M., a meeting was held at the home of Bro. A. M. Whipple at Rio-Linda, Sacramento County, for the purpose of organizing a congregation. Elders M. E. Andrews and W. R. Brubaker had been authorized by the elders of the District of Northern California to perfect the organization. Letters of membership were read and accepted, being transferred from the Live Oak church, where they had been placed by the members, on entering California. Eleven charter members compose this congregation. We have two ministers, both in the second degree. We also have one deacon. For our elder we selected Bro. W. R. Brubaker, of Live Oak, an adjoining church.

  We decided on a boundary line for our congregation, which extends from the Yuba River to- the Feather River; from this to the Sacramento River; thence south to the northern boundary of Sacramento County; thence west, south and east, following the line of Sacramento County, back to the Sacramento River again; thence south along the Sacramento River to the Calaveras River, following this east to the source. Members living inside of these boundary lines can correspond with Bro. Michael Blocher, addressing him at Sacramento, General Delivery, or write to the undersigned, who is the corresponding secretary. We decided to hold our regular council meetings quarterly, on Saturday preceding the' fourth Sunday of the month, beginning with December, 1913. We named our church Rio-Linda, the name of the place platted as a town site on the Northern Electric Railway, and here the members are locating.

  We would be glad if brethren, seeking a location in California, would locate in our part of the country. The climate is ideal, and the scenery beautiful. We regret the delay of this report but for unavoidable reasons it has been delayed. (Sister) J. M. Fisher. 923 Twentieth Street. Sacramento, Cal., Dec. 12.
