Field Notes

The church at Rochester, Ind., has been encouraged by the addition of six members as the result of meetings held by Brother B. Hagle. Others are interested, and the meetings continue.

Brother S. Swinson reports five conversions in the vicinity of the Sparta (Wis.) church as the result of meetings held there. Previous to the meetings, Bible readings had been held in the neighborhood.

The students of the school at Berrien Springs, Mich., are holding meetings in two churches that have been secured within a few miles of the school. An evident interest is manifested, with attendance ranging from thirty to eighty.

Brother J. M. Rees has been holding meetings with the church at Marion, Ind. Among the few not of our faith who attended were a man and wife on the way to Cuba with a colony of settlers. They gladly accepted the message presented.

Following a dedicatory service the first Sabbath in March at Hagerman, N. M., Brother M. D. Warfle conducted a five weeks’ meeting in the church, which resulted in the baptism of twelve young people. Two others joined the church on profession of faith and previous baptism.

Brethren W. H. Thurston and Wm. Guthrie recently conducted a ten-days’ meeting at Indian Harbor, Nova Scotia. As a result two young ladies took their stand to obey the Lord; two who had become indifferent resolved to walk in the light, and the church was encouraged by the study of the Word.

Brother Wm. F. Kennedy, who, with Brother W. F. Hills, held meetings at Hotchkiss, Colo., writes: “We continued our public meetings for four weeks, and organized a church of nineteen members. Nine joined by letter, seven on profession of faith, and three by baptism, and on the last Sabbath before we closed our public meetings three more adults signed the covenant. They will be baptized and unite with the church soon. Sister Barnes, who has been living in Hotchkiss for some time, has put forth a judicious effort in canvassing for books and circulating literature. Her work, with the blessing of God, has been very helpful to our public effort.”
