Field Notes and Gleanings

From Leola, S. D., Brother Valentine Leer writes that on Sabbath, May 9, three young men who will, he hopes, be light-bearers for the truth, were baptized.
On Sabbath, April 25, four persons were received into the church at Chanute, Kan. Three of these were new converts to the faith, the result of Bible work done by Sister Jennie Edwards.
Brother E. A. Merrell reports visiting the churches in the southern part of Missouri. In Oxley he baptized three, and there are seven others who have just begun the observance of the Sabbath under the labors of Brethren H. E. Lysinger and A. F. French. At Poplar Bluff nine were baptized, and four others taken into the church, thirteen in all, on profession of faith.
After speaking of the interest in meetings he is holding at Conrad, Mont., where the postmaster has resigned his position to obey the truth, he has learned at the meetings and in personal study, Brother W. H. Holden adds: “I have not yet preached on all points of our faith, but several others are keeping the Sabbath, and have accepted the truth as far as they have heard it.”
At a recent meeting of the Southern California Conference Committee, the following distribution of laborers was voted: That Elder R. S. Owen and Brother A. Booth go to Santa Barbara; that Brethren E. H. Adams and H. J. Hoare hold a series of meetings at Glendale; that Elders C. E. Ford and A. G. Christiansen conduct a series of tent-meetings in Los Angeles; that Dr. Lillis Wood-Starr be invited to connect with the faculty at Fernando Academy; that Elder R. S. Owen connect with the Loma Linda College of Evangelists for the coming year; and that Elder E. J. Hibbard take charge of the Bible department of Fernando Academy for the coming school year; that Elder F. I. Richardson be associated with Elder W. M. Healey in work in San Diego; that Elder S. Thurston make Pomona and Ontario his field of labor for the present.
