AT Spokane, Wash., six persons received baptism on a recent Sabbath, and eight were received into the church.

SEVEN persons received baptism at Senjen, Minn., on a recent Sabbath. The Sabbath-school at that place now has fifty-two members.

GOOD results are attending the efforts of Brother F. H. Henderson at Zanesville, Ohio, and it is thought a church may soon be organized there.

BROTHER SYDNEY SCOTT writes from Leavenworth, Kan., under date of August 4: “We began tent-meetings in the interests of the colored people in this place June 11, and the meetings have continued till the present. Four have taken a stand for the truth. The interest continues good.”

THE Pacific Union Recorder reports: “It is being planned to hold several educational institutes in the Upper Columbia Conference this season. These will be held at points where two or more churches can unite and have the benefit of the studies. The three departments of the educational work will be taken up—Sabbath-school, church-school, and young people’s work—at these conventions.”

A LETTER received recently from Brother J. M. Estes, of Nome, Alaska, gives quite an encouraging report of work being done among the Eskimos of that region. He states that several have begun the observance of the Sabbath, and others seem very anxious to hear the truth.—Pacific Union Recorder.

ELDER H. H. BURKHOLDER says in a report from Six Points, Ohio: “At the close of several weeks of earnest labor at this place by Brethren Francis M. Fairchild and Robert B. Thurber the meetings closed Sabbath, July 22. As a result of this effort we now have a church of nine members, with encouraging prospects of additions soon.”

LABORERS in the Minnesota Conference are at present located as follows: Brethren Mead and Babcock in Detroit City, in a tent-meeting; Sister Nichols will join them soon; Brethren Budd and Olsen, Senjen and Local, holding meetings in buildings; Brethren Johnson, Reppe, and Nerlund, holding a tent-meeting in Two Harbors; Brethren Ruble and Gilbert, near Herman, holding meetings in houses and doing house-to-house work; Brethren Stone and Steen, Northeast Minneapolis, tent-meeting; Brethren Catlin, Kuehl, and Rew, North Minneapolis, holding a tent-meeting; Brethren Detamore and Stebbins, Stillwater, tent-meeting. Brother Detamore will go to St. Paul in a few weeks to make that his field of labor. Brethren Anderson, Hanson, and Chapman will spend some time at the Maplewood Academy, erecting the dormitory. Brother Pogue is laboring among the churches in behalf of the school enterprise and soliciting funds for the erection of the dormitory. Brother Bernstein is laid up with hay-fever. Brother Christenson is laboring in the Manitoba field, and is supported by the Minnesota Conference. All the other laborers have their regular work to which they have been elected or appointed.
