BROTHER C. W. MILLER reports a meeting with the German brethren at Sanger, Tex., at the conclusion of which four persons received baptism.

A REPORT from the English tent company in Minneapolis states that the meetings are well attended, and the interest is good. Three have thus far decided to obey the truth presented.

BRETHREN FRED JOHNSON, M. S. Reppe, and O. J. Nerlund are selling tracts and other literature in Two Harbors, Minn. They report that a few have begun to observe the Bible Sabbath, and others are interested. Some have been led to discontinue the use of tobacco.

TENT companies in the West Michigan Conference are now distributed as follows: M. S. Burnham, R. C. Horton, J. D. Reavis, at Benton Harbor; W. C. Hebner and James Irving, near Sturgis; Fred Brink, H. C. Pitton, at Lake Odessa; J. W. Hofstra, at Zeeland; Edward Collier, B. F. Kneeland, at Bloomingdale.

REPORTING the result of meetings which were recently closed at Harlan, Iowa, Elders N. C. Bergersen and P. E. Brotherson say: “Our work here has not been fruitless. We have had the pleasure of burying two precious souls in the watery grave, and a few others are seeking after God and his truth. We expect to move our tent about ten miles into the country, where we shall labor a few weeks.”

ELDER J. H. KRAFT says in a report from southeastern Iowa: “Sabbath and Sunday, September 2, 3, were good days for the church at Muscatine. I spoke five times, twice in German and three times in English, and the Lord blessed in giving the message. There had been a tendency on the part of the Germans to draw away from the English, and for some time they had been holding their own Sabbath-school and meetings. Thus each school was small. But the Lord helped us to reverse this tendency, and arrangements will be made at the next quarterly meeting for them to meet together after that time.”

BROTHER and Sister F. H. Conway say in a report from Assiniboia, Canada: “Soon after our arrival, we held a three weeks’ meeting at McLean, Assiniboia, which resulted in establishing some who had heard a few sermons before. We then did house-to-house Bible work until the middle of July. Then we went three hundred miles to our camp-meeting at Winnipeg. Since camp-meeting we have been visiting companies and isolated Sabbath-keepers. August 19 three earnest souls were baptized at McLean, where we held our meeting in June. When harvesting is over, which will be about September 15, we expect to begin schoolhouse meetings again.”
