Field Notes and Gleanings

THE last Sabbath in December a church of eight members was organized at Alazan, Tex. There are three others who are expected to join later.

BROTHER E. B. HOPKINS recently held a four-days’ meeting at Cedar Grove, Tex. Of the result of his work there he writes: “Five were added to the church, and one followed the Lord in baptism. Several others are much stirred, and I think will finally unite with the church.”

FROM Blaine, Maine, Brother J. B. Goodrich writes: “We enjoyed a good quarterly meeting here Sabbath, January 4. Seven united with the church. Our new Sabbath-keepers are growing stronger, and are anxious to work for others, as every one of the followers of Christ ought to do.”

BRETHREN G. W. Berry and H. E. Reeder, who recently held a six-weeks’ meeting about fifteen miles from Oshkosh, Neb., report that “as a result twenty persons have begun the observance of the Sabbath. The company now numbers twenty-eight souls, including the old Sabbath-keepers. Many others in the same neighborhood are deeply interested, and are asking that meetings be resumed soon, that they may the more fully hear the message.”

DURING the week of prayer Brother and Sister D. G. Turk visited four churches in New York. Of the visit at one place he writes: “Monday, December 16, we reached Masonville, where Elder Nicola and I engaged in tent work last summer. We were glad to find those who had accepted the message strong in the faith, and best of all, we found that the seed that had been sown was still springing up and bearing fruit. One sister had recently begun the observance of the Sabbath. During our stay there Brother and Sister Packer were converted and took their stand for the truth. Others are in the valley of decision. We feel greatly encouraged over the work in Masonville.”

OF recent experiences in Wewoka, Okla., Brother C. M. McDonald writes: “November 24 I began meetings seven miles from Wewoka, and notwithstanding the small neighborhood, we had good attendance during the entire meeting. The people gave us respectful attention, and it became evident early in the meeting that several were interested. The Lord helped us, and January 3, when Elder J. R. Bagby came to administer baptism, he buried thirteen in the watery grave, all adults except one boy thirteen years old. Others are interested. The Wewoka Seventh-day Adventist church was organized January 5, with nineteen members. We have a nice Sabbath-school, and expect to start a church-school January 20. We shall have about twenty-five scholars, half of whom are children of Seventh-day Adventists.”
