A SABBATH-SCHOOL of ten members was organized at Lamar, Colo., December 16.

ELDER L. S. WHEELER reports the baptism of ten new converts in Boston, Mass., on the last Sabbath of 1905.

FIVE persons were baptized and six were received into the church at Kanawha Station, W. Va., December 17.

FOUR persons have recently accepted the truth at Bon Ayr, Ky., under the labors of Elder R. S. Donnell and Brother Walter Jones.

The Indiana Reporter says: “Excellent reports have come in from all parts of the State regarding the week of prayer. It truly has been a refreshing time for many of our people.”

BROTHER G. W. SPIES writes from Harrisburg, Pa.: “At a general meeting held in Harrisburg, Pa., by the church of this place, last month, eight united with the church, seven by baptism and one by vote.”

We note the following in the Indiana Reporter of January 3: “Brother Niehaus spent a few days at the office on his way to visit relatives at Evansville during the holidays. He reports that thirteen persons united with the church at Connersville the last Sabbath he was there. Four were new Sabbath-keepers.”

SPEAKING of the effort that is being made to establish a school for the colored people at Devall’s Bluff, Ark., Brother W. H. Swait says: “The conference has erected a substantial building for the purpose. We enrolled ten students the first day we began school, December 4. We praise the Lord for a beginning of the work among the colored people of this conference.”

BROTHER J. C. HARRIS reports from Ligonier, Ind.: “We had some good meetings at Ligonier. They feel much encouraged. Through the kindness of the Christian church we used their baptistery to baptize three of the young people of the church. The Lord came near, and blessed in a marked manner. All enjoyed the week-of-prayer meetings very much, and there was a liberal offering made to the missions.”

BROTHER W. S. LOWRY says in a recent report from Lane, Tenn.: “At this place the Lord wonderfully helped in preaching the word, and his converting power came in, and as a visible result six precious souls were baptized, and with one other, joined the church. Two or three others decided to keep the Sabbath, and others are deeply convicted. The meetings were a great spiritual refreshing to the brethren and sisters, and the addition of seven new members greatly encourages them.”
