A SABBATH-SCHOOL of twenty-one members, of whom fourteen are adults, has been organized at Herrin, Ill.

Six additions to the membership of the Groton, S. D., church were made at the time of the last quarterly meeting.

Five persons were baptized and added to the Keene, N. H., church July 8, and two others joined at the same time by letter.

At Rimini, a small mining camp in Montana, five persons have accepted the truth preached to them by Brethren W. H. Holden and S. H. Kime.

“THE Southern Illinois Conference, with its new tents, new seats, fine gasoline lamps, and excellent General Conference help, will put up a better-equipped camp-meeting this year than any preceding year.” So says the Southern Illinois Herald.

ELDER LEE S. WHEELER reports in the Atlantic Gleaner of July 26, from Boston, Mass.: “We have now completed another week of tent-meetings, and are much encouraged in the work. Quite a number have begun the observance of the Sabbath, and the interest seems to be growing.”

REPORTING from Urbana, Ill., Elders P. G. Stanley and M. G. Huffman say: “We are, at this writing, in the most critical time of our meeting. Souls are in the balance, deciding to obey God. Scores have expressed themselves by the uplifted hand that we have preached the truth to them. Already a goodly number have taken their stand to obey God and walk in the light that has been revealed to them.”

An item in the South Dakota Worker reads: “Elders Reiswig and Leer returned from Bowdle, Long Lake, and Sutley, where they have passed the time since camp-meeting. They report thirty-one baptized, and one new family of Sabbath-keepers at Hosmer. A donation of $236 in cash and pledges, seventeen acres of wheat, and seven acres of flax, was given to Washington and the foreign work.”
