ELDER A. R. BELL recently baptized fifteen adults in Lebanon, Pa., the result of a tent effort held there last summer.

ELDER J. G. LAMSON reports the recent baptism of seven new believers who united with the church at Grand Rapids, Mich. A new church has been organized at Napoleon, East Michigan.

A NEW church building is being erected at Otsego, N. Y. The workers at that place report fourteen new believers. During the past year forty-two persons have been added to the church in Brooklyn, twenty-five by baptism and the remainder by letter or profession of faith.

THE following good word comes from Davenport, Iowa: “Our church membership two years ago was 42; at this present writing it is 73. The Sabbath school attendance is 100. We have put up a new church building the past year, which cost about $4,000. This has all been paid but $480, which we hope to meet by the first of May, 1916.”

ELDER A. R. OGDEN, president of the Iowa Conference, in a recent letter says of the work in that field: “Am glad to report that everything is moving along quite satisfactorily in our conference work. We have passed the Harvest Ingathering goal by several hundred dollars, also reached the full Twenty-cent-a-week Fund with a surplus of upwards of $2,000. Our workers and people are full of courage, and we anticipate a good year during 1916.”

SOME one has spoken of Africa as a great interrogation point, turned westward, looking across the seas, asking, “Why am I the Dark Continent?”
