As a result of the tent effort at Munden, Kan., five persons are keeping the Sabbath.

THREE persons were recently baptized by Elder H. S. Parker and joined the church at Lucky, Ark.

A CHURCH has recently been organized at Adrian, Mich., with a full corps of officers and with a membership of twenty.

THE following report comes from Brother E. B. Hopkins, of Texas: “I baptized four on Sabbath a week ago at Cedar Grove, and expect to baptize three at Poetry church next Sabbath.”

At the close of a tent effort in Delta, Ohio, twenty-three signed the covenant. Seven of these belonged to other churches; the remainder are new Sabbath-keepers and mostly young people.

ALTHOUGH the attendance at the tent-meetings in Scranton, Pa., was not large, five persons have already begun keeping the Sabbath, and it is expected that others will take their stand soon.

THROUGH the faithful efforts of Brother Thomas Defreece, in Brenham, Tex., one sister joined our ranks, and three others began keeping the Sabbath. Before the meeting closed, one person was baptized.

BROTHER H. CLAY GRIFFIN writes that as a result of efforts put forth in tent-meetings near Hiwasse, Ark., three persons were baptized. He also states that several families and a number of individuals besides have begun to keep the Sabbath.

WE quote the following from a letter from Brother John E. Hanson: “The first series of tent-meetings closed here (at Lake Charles, La.) on August 4. A Methodist Episcopal minister, with his wife and child, have accepted the truth, and there is a prospect that several others will do so.”

THE following report comes from Nashua, N. H.: “Our interest is good. Some have begun to keep the Sabbath, and others give promise of obeying. One lady with two daughters has walked two miles and back for a long time to every service. They, with a niece, have embraced the Sabbath. The niece is the granddaughter of a Baptist minister, and has gone home to convince them of the truth.”

TENT-MEETINGS are being held at Sheridan, Ind., by Elders F. M. Roberts and J. M. Ellis, and several have taken their stand for the truth as a result.

A REPORT from Birmingham, Ala., states that seven have taken a firm stand for the truth, and several others are keeping the Sabbath, and as soon as their business affairs can be arranged, will unite with the church.

BROTHER J. O. MILLER states that a six-weeks' tent effort has closed at Newcastle Creek, New Brunswick. Of the results he says: “Eleven have already taken their stand for the truth, and twice that number are deeply interested. Sunday morning we held a baptism in Grand Lake, with a large crowd in attendance. After laboring in the city of St. John for the past year, and seeing an addition of twelve members to the church there, it did us good to go into a new place, and see the eagerness of the people to feed on the Word. Others are awaiting baptism.”
