Field Notes and Gleanings

Brother W. R. Foggin reports the baptism of six at Culloden, W. Va.

Brother W. E. Bidwell reports the baptism of four persons at Laura, Ohio, who will join the church at that place.

The new school building of the Lornedale Academy, near Toronto, Ontario, is completed, and will be dedicated at the time of the camp-meeting next August.

Four recent converts have been added to the company at Charleston, W. Va., and several others, who have not yet joined the church there, have begun to keep the Sabbath.

At Axtell, Kan., thirteen persons were baptized recently by Elder Charles Thompson, and a church with a membership of eighteen was organized at that place on June 14.

Brethren E. J. Dryer and E. C. Townsend, who have been laboring in Buffalo, N. Y., report the baptism of seven in that place as the result of the labor which they have put forth there.

Reports from India state that the sanitarium at Mussoorie is prospering, and that arrangements have already been made for conducting a series of meetings in Mussoorie, that the message may be given to the people of that place.

A report from Elder J. S. Shrock at Pittsfield, Wis., states that five persons have been baptized there as a result of the labors of Brethren Beggs and Belden. With the Sabbath-keepers already in this place, these have been organized into a company. A tent effort is also being conducted at this place which bids fair to have good results.

A company of Sabbath-keepers has been raised up at Meiktila, British Burma. The raising up of this company has created quite a stir in that part of the country, as two of the members are lawyers, one being government prosecutor for that district. They have had it entered in the court records that they would not appear in court on the seventh day of the week.

Brother A. F. French, writing from Oxley, Mo., states that after six weeks' labor in that place, a Sabbath-school of twenty-four members has been organized. A commendable part of his work in that place has been to put into the home of each Sabbath-keeper there some one of our good publications. At this place, twelve adults have recently accepted the truth, and taken their stand with our people.

Sister Anna Knight, who for several years was one of our mission workers in India, has been conducting school work at Soso, Miss., during the past year, and also carrying on a Sunday-school and Young People's Society. As a result of this work, twelve persons have recently begun the observance of the Lord's Sabbath, of whom one is a Methodist minister. Four of these have been baptized, and now a Sabbath-school of twenty-six members has been organized at that place.
