Field Notes and Gleanings

FROM Willow Creek, Mont., where Brother Stewart Kime is holding meetings, he reports the reclamation of two former Sabbath-keepers, and three others have joined in Sabbath-keeping.

BROTHER H. CLAY GRIFFIN reports a good interest in the meeting at Mena, Ark., which he closed temporarily to attend the union conference. Four or five had already begun the observance of the Sabbath, and he hoped for still other decisions as he should resume the meetings.

BRETHREN V. W. Robb and W. A. Easley have been conducting a series of meetings at North Cedar, Kan. After about three weeks of meetings they report that two families had taken their stand, and several others gave hope of doing so, while there was a good general interest in the meetings.

FROM Osceola, Iowa, Brother T. Godfrey writes: “The Lord has blessed me here, where I have held a series of meetings, and at their close baptized ten precious souls, who were received into fellowship. Eleven in all united with the church. So the cause of God moves onward in spite of the opposition.”

“BROTHER R. E. BURKE is holding meetings at Sharpsburg, Iowa, with a good attendance. He has spoken the truth very plainly, and some have signed the covenant, while others seem much interested. The church seems to be much encouraged, and five of the young people of Seventh-day Adventist parents desire baptism as son as the opportunity is afforded.”

BROTHER D. E. HUFFMAN, writing from Pleasanton, Kan., says: “We are in the best meeting I have ever had anything to do with. The power of God is working in a marked degree. Our audience has never been large, but the Spirit’s presence has been felt by all. A few families have taken their stand against the truth, and some for it. Others are still undecided. Our organist, a music teacher, is almost persuaded. Her mother has taken her stand with us.”

FROM Colorado Brother C. H. Bates writes: “Sabbath, February 1, I finished my series of meetings at Cline. As a result of the four weeks’ effort twelve signed the covenant, and two others are keeping the Sabbath. Some of those who signed the covenant have been baptized, and others have requested baptism, but owing to scarcity of water we shall have to delay baptism for some time. I have organized a church with eight members, and a Sabbath-school with twenty-two members; others will be added as they receive baptism.”
