Field Notes and Gleanings

Brother Wm. Cubley reports an increasing interest in the meetings he is holding in Freeland, Tex. Several have already decided to obey the Lord and keep all his commandments.

Brother W. H. Thurston writes from Peterboro, Ontario: “We are having interesting cottage meetings, and the outside attendance is from eight to twelve. Six have already acknowledged the truth, and are still attending the meetings. Some others are interested, and have opened their doors for us to come and study the Bible with them. Brother Washington Morse, who is ninety-two years old, is selling papers, and the Lord is blessing him in his work, and he is averaging thirty papers each day in good weather. His wife intends joining him in the paper work in the spring. Brother Morse is one of the pioneers in this cause, and it is refreshing to see the interest he still manifests in the work, and the active service he is still rendering for the salvation of souls.”

From St. John, New Brunswick, Brother J. O. Miller writes: “Our labors here have not been without fruit. This gives us courage, knowing that God is working to lead sinners to repentance. Nine adults, who were before strangers to the truths presented by us, are observing the Sabbath, and ten others are considering the question of taking the same step. We hold public preaching services every Sunday evening, and have a large attendance from the outside. My wife and I hold class meeting each evening during the week except Friday, when we conduct a prayer-meeting at our home. During the day, while making family visits, we scatter tracts. I have sold forty dollars’ worth of ‘Christ’s Object Lessons,’ and twenty-five dollars’ worth of ‘Daniel and the Revelation’ and ‘Coming King.’”

Brother H. S. Preener, writing from Baltimore, Md., says that his “brief stay in the Chesapeake Conference has been a golden chain of good circumstances. Big victories have been gained every morning through the power of God. A Bible reading has been held five afternoons in the week and one every night save Saturday, and in not one instance without fruit. One, two, and three of a company have rallied to the standard, ‘The commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.’ One preacher is keeping the Sabbath and studying further, and another is awaiting developments, with the hope of following his colleague as he blazes the way. Two of the company attending the Bible reading in German have become obedient. To God be all the praise.”
