MOLINE.—During the past summer, I have been teaching a Bible and training school in Chicago. The object of this school was to educate our people, and enable them to give Bible readings. It was begun by Elder Luther Warren at the close of our camp-meeting; but, his health failing, he was compelled to leave, and I filled his place until September 15. The conference, recognizing the good it was doing, has planned to continue it through the winter. Elder Warren hoped to take charge of it about the first of November.
Since leaving Chicago I have spent the most of the time in Moline. A good interest has been awakened by the efforts of our Bible workers, and by the influence of the Tri-City Sanitarium. Quite a number are keeping the Sabbath, and still others are investigating. Last Sabbath four were baptized, and six were added to the Moline church. Some others expected to go forward at that time, but were prevented by sickness. Others, who are keeping the Sabbath, are not sufficiently instructed on all points of our faith. The sanitarium is a real help religiously. There is no proselyting; but the truth is lived, and this course is making friends for us. The interest is spreading, and our workers here have much to encourage them.
