Six persons received baptism at the North Philadelphia church, Sabbath, June 3.

BROTHER J. G. KROEKER reports from Grand Island, Neb.: “Sabbath, May 20, two persons were baptized, and we expect other candidates for baptism in the near future; in fact, there are some already keeping the Sabbath who wish to be baptized soon.”

ELDER S. S. SHROCK reports the baptism of eight persons at Kingston, Pa., May 28, and of three others at the same place, June 4, and another baptismal service will be necessary soon. This, he says, “is largely the result of Sister Weiss’s faithful Bible work.”

ELDER J. D. RICE writes from California: “I baptized twelve at Sebastopol, Cal., last Sabbath, and others will be baptized soon. Four have just begun to keep the Sabbath here in Berkeley. Several are awaiting baptism. The Lord is gathering the harvest. We are of good courage.”

A GOOD work is being done among the colored people in St. Louis. Brother G. R. Underwood, who is at work in that field, writes: “The work here among the colored people is onward. There are a great number of interested ones, and many calls for Bible readings are being received. Sabbath, April 29, two dear souls were buried with Christ by baptism, and united with the first colored church.”

The following tent companies and workers are in the field in the West Michigan Conference: Elder R. C. Horton and J. C. Brower at Benton Harbor; Elder Fred Brink and B. F. Kneeland at Lake Odessa; Elder W. C. Hebner and James Irving, near Sturgis; Elder C. A. Hansen and Drury Reavis at Kalamazoo; Elder W. H. Heckman and Battle Creek laborers at Battle Creek; Elder Jacob Hofstra at Allendale.

WE are pleased to announce that Elder A. M. Dart and wife have so far recovered their health that they feel called upon to return to Alaska, from which field they came eleven months ago. At a recent meeting of the executive committee of the Pacific Union Conference, held in Washington, it was decided to grant their request. Elder Dart will no doubt sail for Alaska during the month of July, to labor in the coast country, where the climate is not at all trying, and where they will be in touch with the masses that are going to and returning from the interior.—Pacific Union Recorder.
