Field Notes

A NEW church building at El Dorado, Kan., was dedicated Sunday, February 26. The dedication of the building for the second Kansas City (Kan.), church is announced for March 5.
THE organization of a Sabbath-school of twelve members is reported at Ussery, Ark., where four adults have lately begun keeping the Sabbath. A tent-meeting is desired at that place in the spring.
ELDER C. A. BURMAN reports that four persons “have decided to obey God and keep his commandments” at Sioux Falls, S. D., and that sixteen are attending the canvassers’ school at that place.
THE Southwestern Union Record of February 14 says: “Oklahoma has sold her quota of ‘Christ’s Object Lessons,’ sent in her last payment, and is now singing the ‘jubilee song of freedom from debt.’ We rejoice with her.”
ELDER A. R. SANDBORN reports from St. Charles, Mich., where he has been holding meetings, that ten persons are awaiting baptism at that place, and the church has been greatly helped and encouraged by the meetings.
THE Union Conference Record of January 1 says: “Our readers will be pleased to know that the Avondale Press has just completed an edition of three hundred Rarotongan hymn-books. The book contains one hundred and thirty-four hymns.”
IN a report from District No. 2, Nebraska, Brother O. E. Jones says: “As a result of a series of tent-meetings held by Brother O. A. Hall and the writer, and some other work done since, at Edgar, a company of eight new Sabbath-keepers has been raised up.” Brother Jones is now holding meetings at Hartwell.
THE church at Jamestown, N. Y., now has a membership of twenty-three.
THREE persons have recently accepted the Sabbath truth at Zanesville, Ohio.
BROTHER C. J. KUNKEL reports one family keeping the Sabbath at Rostern, Saskatchewan, Manitoba.
THE fund which is being raised for the New England Sanitarium has reached a total of over $8,100.
ELDER J. M. REES says in a report of recent labor at Meyersville, Ill.: “We closed the meeting, but not without some results; for a few will obey the Lord, and I trust that later on a number will obey.”
ELDER T. W. FIELD reports one family keeping the Sabbath and others interested in the truth at Edgewood, Tex. Four pupils in the church-school at that place, he reports, recently experienced conversion and requested baptism.
IN a report from Frisco, Ark., dated January 30, Brother H. Clay Griffin says: “I organized a Sabbath-school last Sabbath with a membership of eighteen, and several others will join soon. The lines are being drawn, and Satan is showing his wrath, but some are obeying. There are about fourteen adults now keeping the Sabbath, besides a number of youth and children. Many others are deeply interested.”
ELDER F. C. GILBERT reports in the Atlantic Union Gleaner of March 1: “During the past few weeks we have found a number of openings in Norwich, Conn.; New London, Conn.; New Bedford, Mass.; Corona, L. I.; Brooklyn, N. Y.; Haverhill, Mass.; Brockton, Mass.; Whitman, Mass.; and several other places. We find a number of people interested to know more of the truth of the gospel; and some who for years would scarcely recognize our people, and who have been bitterly opposed to them because of the Sabbath and its kindred truths, have acknowledged that they were sorry they had not investigated before, and learned the real blessedness of this glorious truth.”
THE superintendent of the Wyoming Mission field, Elder J. H. Wheeler, speaks as follows of the present outlook there: “The Lord is greatly blessing us in many ways. Our workers are all of good courage. Brethren Kirkle and Porter are holding meetings in a schoolhouse near Gordon. They report a splendid interest. Brother Garton is holding meetings near Hill City in a schoolhouse, with a growing interest. Brother Cook has lately begun meetings in Monarch, a mining camp near Sheridan. The writer has been visiting some interested ones near Belmont, where Brethren Kirkle and Hall held meetings last winter. There seems to be a demand for more meetings at this place, as the work was not finished. A church has been offered free of charge, as soon as it is repaired, which will be in a few days. We receive good reports of the work being done by our church-schools. All seem to be well pleased with the teachers employed.”
