Field Notes

THREE persons received baptism at the Lancaster, Pa., church, Sunday, October 8.

EIGHT persons were baptized at the Chicago Swedish church Sabbath, October 7.

SEVEN persons have recently been baptized at Benton Harbor, Mich., five of whom have united with the church there. Elders R. C. Horton and M. S. Burnham are conducting meetings at that place.

ELDER O. E. REINKE reports encouraging progress in the German work in New York City. He says: “Sabbath, September 30, I had the privilege of baptizing thirteen souls, all adults. During the entire year twenty-one souls have been baptized and added to the church.”

SPEAKING of the work at Poplar Bluff, Mo., Brother Chas. G. Bellah says: “Our little company has been pushing ahead pretty well the past twelve months. The Sabbath-schools and prayer-meetings have about doubled, and the church-school has had a still larger gain. Three have been added to the church, and others are expected.”

ELDER L. D. SANTEE says in a report from Moline, Ill.: “There are ten or twelve that seem deeply interested, largely as the result of Sister Silver’s work. Since coming here we have gone with her to the homes of her readers, and find them deeply in earnest. We expect soon to hold cottage meetings, alternating them so that all can attend.”

FROM Marceline, Mo., Brother W. T. Millman reports: “We baptized three, and four or five others have begun to keep the Sabbath. We organized a Sabbath-school last Sabbath of seventeen members. One preacher and his wife said they had kept their last Sunday. Sabbath-school will be held at their house.” This result follows a course of tent-meetings which were begun August 28.

ELDER D. E. SCOLES writes from Sedalia, Mo., under date of October 16: “I am just closing a tent effort here, and expect to open up the work in St. Louis in November, and devote my time to that part of the field. Eighteen have signed the covenant here since camp-meeting, and several others have accepted the Sabbath, making about twenty-four in all. I held a meeting in Springfield, Mo., before camp-meeting. Eight persons accepted the truth, among them the pastor of the German Congregationalist church, and his wife. I also held a meeting at Little Beaver, and organized a church. Twelve accepted the truth under my labors at that place. The Lord is blessing us in this conference.”
