Field Notes

Review and Herald Publishing Association · Washington, D.C. · Jan 19, 1905

THE enrolment of pupils at the Keene Academy, Texas, is now 109.

A NEW church building was dedicated at Chunchula, O. T., December 11.

TWENTY teachers are now employed in teaching church-schools in the Texas Conference.

A CHURCH-SCHOOL was opened at West Cooper, O. T., November 1, with an attendance of thirty-eight pupils, which has now grown to fifty.

A CHURCH-SCHOOL of thirty-six members is progressing in Kansas City, Kan. It is stated that about half the pupils are not of Adventist families.

A NEW church building at Knoxville, Tenn., is nearly completed, the first meeting in it having been held on the last day of the week of prayer.

BROTHER GEO. L. BUDD says in a report from Senjen, Minn., where he has been laboring for several weeks: “Five have already begun to keep the Sabbath, and others are deeply interested. . . . There are calls coming in from every side for me to come and hold some meetings.”

“It is interesting,” observes the Atlantic Union Gleaner, “to note how many more canvassers were in the field the last week in December, 1904, than reported for the corresponding week in 1903.” There must certainly be a revival of the canvassing work before the last warning to earth’s inhabitants can be fully given.

The Iowa Workers’ Bulletin records this interesting item: “A little girl in northeastern Iowa, who is only ten years of age, and whose mother is just now receiving readings and coming into the truth, is setting an example of enthusiasm and love for the cause that many of us who have been long in the way would do well to imitate. During the holidays she solicited offerings for missions, and, as a result, received $1.02.”

A TRACT of forty acres of land near DeVall Bluff, Ark., has been purchased by the Southwestern Union Conference, on which the first Seventh-day Adventist church building for colored people in that State has been erected. A church-school will be established there, and a larger church building is contemplated. The conference expects soon to purchase two new tents for use in preaching among the colored people, one to be used in Arkansas and one in Texas.
