Field Notes

Six persons were baptized at Kansas City, Kan., on August 6.

Four persons are reported ready for baptism in Cheyenne, Wyo.

Elder T. B. Westbrook recently baptized four persons at Medina, N. Y., and two others are waiting for baptism at Corning.

Fifteen of the students of the academy at South Lancaster, Mass., have been baptized since the beginning of this school year.

The camp-meeting at Atlanta, Tex., was followed by a tent effort, as a result of which eleven persons took their stand for the truth.

Elder A. R. Ogden reports the baptism of two sisters at Midway, Mo., and states that the prospects are favorable for a good company at both Keytesville and Excello.

At the present time twelve are keeping the Sabbath at Homestead, Pa., as a result of the tent effort there, and as many more are halting between two opinions.

Elder H. J. Farman reports eight as having begun to keep the Sabbath at East Concord, Vt., and others are interested. A Sabbath-school of thirteen members has been organized.

On September 12 three persons were baptized and united with the Pierrepont (N. Y.) church, making five who have recently been baptized and joined the company at that place.

As a result of the summer's work at Deadwood, Wyo., three members were added to the church on a recent Sabbath, and four others, one from the Catholic Church, asked for baptism.

The company at Coleman, Mich., was recently organized into a church, with a membership of eighteen, and a full corps of officers. After the Sunday afternoon service, three were buried with their Lord in baptism. Others are expected to unite with the Coleman church in the near future.

Elder J. O. Miller, president of the Maritime Conference, in a recent letter to the Review says: “On Sunday morning at 11 A. M., September 27, a company of men, women, and children gathered at the beautiful beach on the shore of the Bay of Fundy, in St. John, New Brunswick, and witnessed the baptism of five adults who had covenanted to obey their Maker. These, with others who have been baptized, will be received in the St. John church at our next Sabbath meeting. In spite of the rigid Sunday law in Canada, men and women are saying, ‘As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.’ I have just returned from the field where we held our tent effort, and find the company of eleven who took their stand, still faithful. While we thank God for what he has done and is doing, we ask the readers of the Review to join us in prayer for greater results.”
