Six persons received baptism at Providence, R. I., August 19. Nine persons have recently been added to the church there.

During the past year eight churches have been added to the Oklahoma Conference, and the increase in membership in the conference is about 250.

Since our last report we have baptized twelve persons in Sebastopol, Cal., and six in Berkeley, and have organized a church of twenty-one members at Vallejo. The work is onward, and we are all of good courage. Jesse D. Rice.

In a report from Lord, Md., Brother J. A. Traugh speaks of having encountered great opposition from a Methodist clergyman, but adds: “With it all we have nineteen Sabbath-keepers, and still they come and take their stand for the commandments of the Lord.”

Elder J. W. Watt closed a series of meetings in Erie, Pa., August 20. Of the results of his work there he says: “Three young people were baptized, and four persons united with the church, also one lady decided to keep the Sabbath, but has not united with the church.”

The Portis (Kan.) church is supporting a laborer in Egypt. The requisite sum is paid by the members of the church each month, and sent to the Mission Board for the support of their missionary. How many of our churches might be able to support a laborer in some needy field if the matter were only agitated a little! If all our churches that are able would take hold in this manner, it would not take long to fill the earth with the living messengers to herald the news of the soon-coming King.—Kansas Worker.
