Field Notes and Gleanings

APRIL 20 Brethren Andrew Nelson and T. J. Hickman organized a church of eleven members at Longdale, Okla.
BROTHER C. M. McDonald, who recently held meetings at Collinsville and Coody’s Bluff, Okla., reports that three took a stand for the truth at each place, and others are interested.
A MEMBER of the church at Hazelton, Mich., writes that a recent Sabbath ‘was a day when God’s presence could be felt; a Sabbath day when ten precious souls united with the church and celebrated the Lord’s Supper; a day when the members came together in love for one another, and praised God for his blessings.’
The teacher of a mission school at Mobile, Ala., Brother W. M. Jackson, who is working under the direction of the Southern Missionary Society, sends in a word of courage concerning his work. The school has been carried on about seven months, and was to close on May 20. Many opportunities for doing good and speaking words of truth have presented themselves, and in improving them rich blessings from God have been enjoyed.
FROM Bridgeport, Conn., Brother J. C. Stevens writes: ‘Sabbath, May 2, at a beautiful beach on the Long Island Sound, eight persons were baptized by the writer. All of these, except one, have recently taken their stand for the truth, being the direct result of our labors in this city; and there are still substantial hopes for others. Previous to the baptismal service, a church was organized, consisting of twenty-one members. It is a source of encouragement to us, and we are truly thankful that our Heavenly Father has seen fit to bless our labors here, and that we have been able to organize a church.’
Of their meetings at Goldsberry, Mo., where Brethren Meade MacGuire and H. B. Steele are laboring, Brother Steele writes that ‘at the tenth service, Sabbath morning, May 2, the Lord enabled Brother MacGuire to present the sufferings of Christ in a way that appealed to the whole congregation. The Spirit of God witnessed to the message borne, and thirteen precious souls responded to the call to surrender all. Baptism took place Sunday afternoon, when twelve dear souls followed the Saviour in this solemn ordinance. Two others were ready, but on account of rain were not present.’
