BROTHER G. E. NORD reports from Kewanee, Ill.: “April 15 Brother Christian baptized five here who had taken their stand for the truth. Aside from these are eight or ten who are with us. Some of these have been baptized, others are waiting baptism. In our Sabbath services there are from fifteen

to twenty who come. We have a good Sabbath-school and quite a nice Sunday-school, with an attendance of twenty or more. Our interest is still good.”

BROTHER J. EMIL ANDERSON, who has been working among the Swedes at Farlington and Fort Scott, Kan., reports the baptism of eight Swedes at Farlington, June 1. A Sabbath-school of fifteen members has been organized.

ELDER R. C. PORTER states that it is the intention of the Missouri Conference to put a tent in each district of the conference, and one in St. Louis for the German work, this summer. This will necessitate the purchase of two new tents.

As reported in the Illinois Recorder, the following distribution of laborers for the summer has been made in the Northern Illinois Conference: “Brethren Curtis and Wood will go to Kewanee to continue the work that Brother Nord has so successfully begun. Brother Irwin will remain in Chicago to assist Brother Luther Warren in the series of meetings that will follow this camp-meeting. Brother Harris will return to his field of labor, near Stockton, to develop the interest there, after which, he and Brother Santee will pitch a tent near Aledo, and possibly close the season with a tent effort in Dixon. Brother Leessadder returns to Princeton to follow up an interest that he has awakened there. Brother Christian labors in the Danish work, and Brother Mortensen in the Swedish. Brother John M. Burdick, for two years preceptor of the Sheridan Intermediate School, will enter the ministry this summer. The conference has allowed him to choose his field of labor. Our Bible workers here in the city, Sisters Anna Hibben, Jean Phillips, Ella Hancock, and Ina Grundset, among the Scandinavians, are very busy.”
