Field Notes and Gleanings

AT the time of the recent quarterly meeting, Brother N. C. Bergersen baptized four persons at Sioux Rapids, Iowa.

BROTHER W. M. CUBLEY reports the baptism of five persons by him at Freeland, Tex. The interest in the meetings is still good.

FROM Corning, N. Y., where Brother T. B. Westbrook has been holding meetings a few weeks, word comes that seven persons have taken a stand for the truth.

SIX more persons were baptized and added to the Kansas City (Kan.) church on Sabbath, April 18, making a total of thirty-five since Brethren Meade MacGuire and H. B. Steele began meetings.

MEETINGS were held April 2-11 with the church at Walker, W. Va., by Brother W. R. Foggin. During this time five young people followed their Lord in the ordinance of baptism. It is expected that six others, who were hindered at that time, will soon be baptized.

AS the result of the labors of a sister in the St. Thomas (Ontario) church, four have taken their stand for the Sabbath, and expressed a desire to learn more of the third angel’s message. She worked faithfully with missionary publications, distributing more than five hundred each week.

SINCE the close of the tent-meeting at Kansas City, Kan., last October, Brother U. S. Willis has engaged in house-to-house work among the colored people. He has been assisted by one of the new believers; and as a result of their efforts, six have begun to walk in obedience to the truth.

A MISSIONARY convention was recently held in Chico, Cal. Elder and Mrs. S. N. Haskell, Brother A. J. S. Bourdeau, the missionary secretary of the California Conference, and Brother J. R. Ferren, of the Pacific Press, took leading parts in the work of this convention. A good interest was manifested in the instruction given.

THE new church at Kincaid, Kans., was dedicated April 5. The house was well filled with interested listeners to the sermon preached by Brother Charles Thompson. Brother B. W. Brown offered the dedicatory prayer. This neat house of worship, which will accommodate about two hundred persons, and cost fifteen hundred dollars, was dedicated free of debt by the new company of believers, who have worked unitedly to this end.
