AMONG recent reports from Maine is one that “several of our scattered Sabbath-keepers have organized Sunday-schools in their respective localities, and are doing a good work.”
AN eight-week’s course of meetings at Plains, Tex., closed with an addition of eight to the number of commandment-keepers there. A Sabbath-school of eighteen members was organized.
THE Pacific Union Recorder states that Elder H. J. Dirksen has been holding meetings at West Union, Ore., which have resulted in bringing a number to accept the truth.
ELDER A. R. OGDEN, who has been holding meetings for some weeks past in Logan, Kan., says that “several have begun keeping the Sabbath, and are rejoicing in the truth, who, a few weeks ago, knew nothing about it.”
BROTHER F. E. FAIRCHILD reports that as the result of meetings which were begun at McMinnville, Ore., July 6, “eleven precious souls have said they would give their hearts to God and walk in the light that he would reveal.”
BROTHER FRANK F. FRY says in a report from eastern Pennsylvania: “The gospel tent-meetings which are being conducted by Elder Schilling in the city of Lancaster are still being well attended. There are prospects that a goodly number will take hold of the truth at this place.”
THREE tent companies are in the field in western Oregon. Elders Decker and Benham are laboring at Cottage Grove. Elder J. M. Cole and Brethren G. E. Johnson, T. L. Thuemler, and Elson Emmerson are at Scott’s Mills, near Silverton. Elders C. J. Cole and J. J. Clark are located at Kings Valley.

A REPORT from the tent company at Roulette, Pa., says: “Several earnest, substantial souls have already decided to obey the Lord, and there are good indications that others who are yet in the valley of decision will take their stand for all God’s commandments.”
THE East Michigan Banner reports: “Brethren Stureman and Lauda, who have been conducting a tent effort at Sanilac Center, are just moving their tent to Elmer, a place four miles distant from Sanilac Center. They report ten souls rejoicing in the truth as a result of their meetings at Sanilac Center.”
IN a report from Preston, Kan., Brother A. E. Johnson says: “Sabbath, July 8, three new members were received into the church. Sunday, the ninth, three others were baptized, and there are as many more ready to follow their Lord in baptism. Our church building is now ready but ceiling. The dedication will, however, be deferred until the busy time is mostly over.”
A STATEMENT which we would commend to the consideration of all our workers is the following, in a report from Elder A. R. Ogden, who is holding meetings at Downs, Kan.: “I am learning that our best policy is to dive right into the real living message, and not lose several nights (and a large part of the congregation too) by ‘paving the way.’” The outlook at Downs is very encouraging.
THE Northern Illinois Recorder says: “Sabbath, July 15, was a good day at the Chicago Forty-sixth Street church. After a stirring sermon by Brother W. S. Sadler, fifteen dear souls received baptism, Brother Sadler officiating. Ten of these were those who had accepted the truth as a result of the meetings begun at Brookline Mission last winter, and continued this summer by the camp-meeting and tent effort.”
