SCHENECTADY.—Two years ago there were but four Sabbath believers in this place. Three of these were aged persons, located at a distance from one another, not knowing of the other's residence or existence; and, therefore, without assembly privileges. Sunday, March 14, saw the organization of the first Seventh-day Adventist church of Schenectady. Elder F. H. DeVinney conducting the services. Thirty-one persons were brought into church fellowship, twenty-five of whom are resident members. Of the twenty-five, all but two are adults.

The church is the result of the faithful labors of the elder already mentioned, Bible workers, canvassers, and the believers themselves,—workers together with God, sowing, watering, and looking to him for the increase.
