For some months we have been planning to hold grove meetings near St. Helena, Calistoga, and other places in the Napa Valley. The first one was held on Sunday, June 7, in the Hot Springs Park, at Calistoga. The conference lent us some folding chairs. The members of the Calistoga church are anxious to carry the truth to those who have not heard it, and they made thoughtful preparation for the meeting. We were confident that open-air meetings would be the means of reaching some who would not attend a service held in a church. And thus they have proved.

I nogle måneder har vi planlagt at holde møder i lundene nær St. Helena, Calistoga, og andre steder i Napa-dalen. Det første blev holdt søndag, d. 7. juni i Hot Springs Park, i Calistoga. Konferensen lånte os nogle foldestole. Medlemmerne i Calistoga-menigheden var ivrige efter at føre sandheden ud til dem, som ikke har hørt den, og de forberedte sig forstandsmæssigt til mødet. Vi var overbevist om at friluftsmøder ville være middel til at nå nogle, som ikke ville deltage i en gudstjeneste i en kirke. Og derved er de blevet forsøgt.
