A SABBATH-SCHOOL was recently organized and Sabbath meetings begun at Orum, Neb.
A NEW church building at Menominee, Mich., will be ready for dedication early in January.
A SABBATH-SCHOOL of twelve members was organized at Cottonwood, west Texas, November 19.
THE cause of Sabbath reform has recently gained nine new converts at Morrow, Warren Co., Ohio.
ELDER H. E. RICKARD reports the addition of six members to the Quebec (Canada) church, November 12.
The West Michigan Herald announces that “the brethren and sisters of Carson City have remodeled their church, and are planning to hold a series of meeting soon.”
BROTHER W. C. BOYNTON, reporting from Fort Calhoun, Neb., says: “Four have united with the church since camp-meeting. We have a good church-school of nine members, and quite an interest on the part of those not of our faith.”
“BOTH of the new church buildings in Indianapolis,” says the Indiana Reporter, “are now completed, and the East Side church met for the first time in their new building last Sabbath. While it is small, it is convenient, and presents a neat appearance.”
The Southwestern Union Record prints this item from Arkansas: “Elder Griffin sends a good report of a meeting at Armada, near Porter station. He has a fine interest, some of the most influential people of the place being in attendance. He has closed his meeting at Sassafras Pond with, as he says, ‘Some good, solid fruit, and a number in the valley of decision.’”
SISTER CRYDERMAN, a member of the Petoskey (Mich.) church, a lady seventy-four years of age, took six orders for the REVIEW AND HERALD in one week. It is hoped that all Seventh-day Adventists will follow the example of this aged pilgrim in placing the REVIEW in the homes of many of their neighbors.—North Michigan News Sheet.
BROTHER H. L. PARKER, who is at Hot Springs, Ark., reports: “Beginning October 21, I held a meeting twenty-four miles southwest of Hot Springs and four miles from Ussery. Two persons were baptized, and others are now waiting baptism. Three have been added to the Hot Springs church since the camp-meeting at Russellville in August.”
ELDER J. M. REES says, in a report of a four weeks’ course of meetings held at DuQuoin, Ill.: “As a result of our meetings, ten united with the church, and two were left keeping the Sabbath. Two, a young man and a young lady, were baptized. A lady from Kentucky, who was visiting her sister, hearing the truth, hurried home to declare the message she had heard to her family. Some of those who united with the church were isolated Sabbath-keepers from other churches.”
IN a report from Gladstone, north Michigan, Brother R. J. Bellows says of the result of recent work in that field: “As a result of the meetings here and at other places, we have as follows: At Ensign, a church organized with twenty-four members, and a Sabbath-school of the same number. At Rapid River there are eight adults keeping the Sabbath, and ten children, with an organized Sabbath-school of eighteen members. At Gladstone we have also recently organized a Sabbath-school with thirteen members.”
SPEAKING of the result of recent meetings held at Myersville and Bismarck, Ill., where the interest of the public was increased by the opposition of a Campbellite minister, Elder P. G. Stanley says: “The whole community is stirred, and many are convinced that we have the truth. Two of the leading trustees of the church in which we are holding meetings, have signified their willingness to be with us and of us. One of them is the leading financial man of the Methodist church, a man of influence and worth among men. He is standing by me with his influence and with his means.”
A REPORT from Elder R. M. Kilgore, who is at Grayson, Ga., states the following: “Eight souls have taken hold with us during the last ten days. One of these owns a farm of three hundred and three acres; another owns one of two hundred and sixty acres. It makes us happy that we are gathering out those who, we hope, will be able to help spread the message. These souls took their stand during the ten days’ meeting which closed last Sunday night, in a country schoolhouse. On the following Monday night we began meetings in another schoolhouse three miles farther south, a larger house, and the first night the house was full. We hope, by God’s blessing, for much larger audiences, a still greater interest, and more fruit.”
