acknowledged sons of God. p. 234, Para. 1, [LS15].
The Return Journey -- While in Salem, I formed the
acquaintance of Brother and Sister Donaldson, who desired
that their daughter should return to Battle Creek with us,
and attend the College. Her health was poor, and it was
quite a struggle for them to part with her, their only
daughter; but the spiritual advantages she would there
receive induced them to make the sacrifice. Not long
afterward, at a campmeeting in Battle Creek, she was buried
with Christ in baptism. This was another proof of the
importance of Seventh-day Adventists' sending their
children to our school, where they can be brought directly
under a saving influence. p. 234, Para. 2, [LS15].
On our voyage from Oregon, we made many pleasant
acquaintances, and distributed our publications to
different ones, which led to profitable conversation. p.
234, Para. 3, [LS15].
When we arrived at Oakland, we found that the tent was
pitched there, and that quite a number had embraced the
truth under the labors of Elder Wm. Healey. We spoke
several times under the tent. Sabbath and first day the
churches of San Francisco and Oakland met together, and we
had interesting and profitable meetings. p. 234, Para. 4,
[LS15].
Chapter XXXIX
From State to State
I was very anxious to attend the campmeeting in
California; but there were urgent calls for me to attend
the Eastern campmeetings. As the condition of things in the
East had been presented before me, I knew that I had a
testimony to bear, especially to our brethren in the New
England Conference; and I could not feel at liberty to
remain longer in California. p. 235, Para. 1, [LS15].
July 28, 1878, accompanied by my daughter-in-law, Mrs.
Emma L. White, and Edith Donaldson, I left Oakland, Cal.,
for the East. On the way I spoke at Sacramento Sunday, to
an attentive congregation, and the Lord gave me freedom in
speaking to them from His word. Monday we again took the
cars, stopping at Reno, Nevada, where I spoke Tuesday
evening. p. 235, Para. 2, [LS15].
