Field Notes and Gleanings

ON Sunday, July 19, five persons were baptized at Norfolk, Va.
AT Glenburnie, Md., Elder L. F. Starr baptized five persons on Sunday, August 2.
FIVE persons were baptized and united with the Hamilton (Ontario) church on a recent Sabbath.
AT Allentown, Pa., three united with the church at the last quarterly meeting, and others await baptism.
ELDER ANDREW NELSON reports that he recently visited the church at Oneil, Okla., and baptized five—a mother and her four children.
THE East End company of believers at Georgetown, Grand Cayman, has been organized into a church. Their new church building is nearly completed.
BROTHER J. C. STEVENS, reporting the work at Bridgeport, Conn., says: “So far eight or nine have begun to observe the Sabbath, and several are ready for baptism.”
IT is reported in the Southwestern Union Record that five persons are keeping the Sabbath at Double Bayou, Tex., as a result of the efforts put forth there by Brother N. V. Willess.
AN ordinance meeting was held at Steamburg, N. Y., August 1, at the close of which eight new members were received into the church. Five candidates were baptized at the same time.
THE Columbia Union Visitor reports that three persons were baptized recently at Richmond, Va., and that one other united with this church the first Sabbath in August. Twelve more are deeply interested in the truth.
ON a recent Sabbath seven persons followed their Lord in baptism at Boulder, Colo., and the names of nine persons were presented to the church at that place for membership, three being on profession of faith.
THE Wisconsin Reporter states that on August 4 Elder John Hoffman baptized eight who have recently accepted the truth at Frederic, Wis. On the previous Sabbath a Sabbath-school of sixteen members was organized.
A REPORT of the meetings at Muscatine, Iowa, says: “Thus far ten have taken their stand for the truth. This makes a total of about sixty who have united with the church since January 1, and many more are interested.”
AS a result of the tent effort at Newkirk, Okla., six have taken their stand for the truth, three others are keeping the Sabbath, and still others are convinced and on the point of deciding. Recently a Sabbath-school of fourteen members was organized there.
IN connection with a series of meetings held at Levi, Tex., a young people’s meeting was conducted once a day. The Lord blessed them richly in these meetings, so that about eighteen of the young people gave their hearts to God. When the call was made for those who desired baptism, twenty-one went forward.
ONE point of special interest regarding the work for the colored people in the Southwestern Union Conference is the two camp-meetings held especially for this people, one last fall at Pine Bluff, Ark., and the other last July at Waco, Tex. Both of these meetings were sources of encouragement to the colored people in these States. Both meetings were entirely under the direction of the superintendent of the colored work in this field, Elder M. Jones, and he was assisted in each State by the local colored laborers. The Pine Bluff camp-meeting closed a tent effort that had been conducted at that place by Elder Jones and Brother Dancer, which resulted in the organization of a small church.
