Field Notes

Review and Herald Publishing Association · Washington, D. C. · Aug 31, 1905

Elder C. B. Rule reports that he closed his meetings at Ionia, Va., August 13, “with nine souls keeping the Sabbath.” He is now at Emporia, Va.

In a report of meetings begun at Non, I. T., June 22, Brother William Braley says: “The interest has grown, and thirteen have begun to obey, and others who are interested we hope will take their stand for the truth.”

Elder O. O. Farnsworth says in a report from Rock Hall, Md.: “I am expecting to have baptism here before leaving, as some have already decided to go forward. The enemy has fought hard at every step, but the Lord has also been working mightily, and we are confident of victory.”

Among reports from Maine we note the following in the Atlantic Union Gleaner: “Elder Goodrich has been holding some very profitable meetings with the Woodstock church. He was called from there to Pittsfield, August 17, to visit his brother, who is very ill at that place. We hope he will return to Woodstock, as he wrote that one had joined the church, and others will soon.”

Favorable results have attended the tent-meetings held in New Haven, Conn., the past summer, by Elder W. A. Westworth. The letter says: “Many have heard and have become deeply interested in the word spoken; some are in the valley of decision; seven have stated their determination to follow their Master, and are now keeping the Sabbath, a sign of his sanctifying power in their lives. While we have desired far greater results, we thank the Lord for this evidence of his favor, and believe that there will be others who will come out into the fulness of the message.”

Elder G. F. Haffner reports from Oklahoma: “The work of the Lord is still onward in the Oklahoma Conference. At present there are several meetings in progress, and people are interested, and are taking their stand for the truth. Brethren Sorenson and Dake report a good interest at Broken Arrow, I. T., where some have already taken their stand, and others are interested. The same report we hear from Brethren Braley and Jobe at Non, I. T. Brother Bonde had a good interest near Lexington, and reported that three families took their stand for the truth, and quite a few were still interested. Brethren Maxwell and Hampton are still having good meetings at Elk City. So the good work goes on.”
