Field Notes and Gleanings

Two are reported to have taken a stand for the truth at Bivouac, Mont., where Brother D. H. Hanson is holding a series of meetings.

As the result of a short series of meetings held with the church at Manhattan, Kan., four new converts were brought into the fold, and a wanderer was reclaimed.

From Arkansas Brother J. S. Rouse, who has recently visited three of the churches, reports the baptism of two persons at Black Rock; and Brother M. H. Gregory, on November 23, baptized five persons at Alpena Pass, and later organized a church of nine members.

After a protracted tent effort of seven weeks at Le Grand, Cal., Brethren C. M. Gardner, A. J. Stevens, and James Taphouse closed the meetings December 8. Six adults gave definite promise to obey God and live the truth, and as many more are in the valley of decision. Hope is entertained for these.

Brother F. C. Clark, who is at work in Iola, Kan., writes: “There is a lively interest here, and more people are inquiring after the truth than we can visit as often as they should be visited. On Sabbath, December 7, a family of four (father, mother, and two grown daughters) began to keep all of the commandments.”

Brother B. E. Miller recently held meetings about five weeks at Indian Gap, Tex., assisted a part of the time by his brother Elder C. W. Miller. The result of the effort put forth is that six have begun the observance of the Sabbath, and others are seriously considering the matter of taking their stand for the truth.

Brother E. A. Merrell reports the holding of a tent-meeting in Poplar Bluffs, Mo., from October 20 to December 15. The tent was fitted for cold weather, and the meeting was held with more comfort than it could have been held in summer. The attendance was good, and ten seem to have taken a stand for the truth. Bible workers will continue the work.

From Hiwasse, Ark., Brother H. Clay Griffin writes: “The interest is still good, the large schoolhouse being well filled each evening. Two or three young people have given their hearts to the Lord for the first time, and several are keeping the Sabbath. The Spirit of the Lord is with us, and hearts are being melted by the sweet influence. The Lord is blessing in giving the precious message for the last days.”

As the result of a six weeks’ meeting held by Brethren G. W. Berry and H. E. Reeder at a point fifteen miles northwest of Oshkosh, Neb., twenty souls are rejoicing in the light of the newfound Sabbath truth, and many others are deeply interested. The same brethren are now holding a meeting near Bridgeport, where a good interest is being manifested. These places are in the territory of the Wyoming Conference.

Of his meetings with the small company at Walker, W. Va., Brother W. R. Foggin writes: “We have had ten additions up to the present time, seven of whom are young men, and three are women. The meetings have been progressing three weeks, and still continue with a growing interest, although the weather and the roads are very much against us at this time. Several are manifesting much interest, and we trust the good work may continue.”
