Six persons received baptism on a recent Sabbath at Wright, Mich.

A CHURCH of nine members has been organized at Naruna, Va.

ARRANGEMENTS have been made for erecting a house of worship in Parkersburg, W. Va.

A LATE report from Hutchinson, Kan., mentions the addition of four persons to the church there.

AT Council Bluffs, Iowa, four persons were baptized, and six united with the church, Sunday, October 8.

SIX new members have been added to the church at Herman, Minn., making a total of twenty members there.

FOUR persons were baptized at Lorenton, Pa., during a recent course of meetings conducted by Elder W. H. Smith.

THE church at Moline, Ill., has been strengthened by the recent addition of six to its membership, all heads of families.

EIGHT persons received baptism at Covert, Mich., October 22, of whom five joined the Covert church, and one, the church at Bangor.

ELDER J. M. REES reports that there is good prospect for the organization at an early date of churches at Herrin, Urbana, and Mattoon, Ill.

A REPORT from Lexington, O. T., where Brethren Hans Bonde and Ezra Fillman have been holding meetings, states: “So far as we know, every one who attended our meetings regularly is convinced that we have the truth. Several remarked that that was the first time they had heard the Bible preached. But best of all, seven precious souls began keeping all the commandments of God, and several others may take their stand in the near future.”

IN a report of the close of the tent-meetings which have been held the past summer at Roanoke, Va., Elder M. S. Babcock says: “About twenty responded to an invitation to confess Christ before men, and by God’s grace through faith to surrender all to him, to keep all of God’s commandments and his holy Sabbath. We have engaged a nice hall for our use after November 1, and hope to hold the interest with a due increase until a goodly number shall unite to keep all the commandments of God.”

BROTHER E. J. H. writes from San Diego, Cal.: “The tent-meetings now being conducted by Elder W. W. Simpson, assisted by a singer, Brother Hoare, here in San Diego, Cal., are causing a stir among the churches, and also among the theosophists and socialists, for there are many faiths or beliefs and unbeliefs here. The meetings are well attended each night, and will probably continue until the end of November if the Lord is willing. Indications seem to justify our hopes for a goodly number of precious souls for our Lord and Master.”
