BROTHER H. J. WOLLEKAR and his wife, of Seattle, Wash., expect to leave that city in May next for Alaska, which will be their future field of labor. They expect to locate in Juneau or Skagway, and will for some time give their attention to southwestern Alaska. Missionary correspondence will be opened up with people living in the interior, and a personal visit to that section will be made at a favorable season of the year.

BROTHER F. W. STRAY reports from Greenfield, Mass., that several ladies are keeping the Sabbath there through his efforts, notwithstanding great opposition from some of the clergy of the place.

MEETINGS which have recently been held at Oakland, Ill., by Brother F. W. Wheeler, have resulted in the addition of two members to the church there, with the prospect of four or five more who expect baptism soon.

BROTHER E. G. HAYES, who is conducting meetings at Sioux Falls, S. D., says: “Four more adults are being firmly established in the message since our last report, making eight new Sabbath-keepers since the meetings began this winter.”

BROTHER W. R. ANDREWS, from Tiverton, Nova Scotia, reports that the truth is gaining a victory there. “At least two,” he says, “have begun to keep the commandments of God, and have joined with us in our Sabbath services.”

BROTHER G. R. FATTIC says of the progress of the truth in Anderson, Ind.: “One hundred or more homes are visited each week by the pupils of the school here. Between seventy-five and eighty-five persons are attending Bible readings conducted in private homes.”

BROTHER J. F. OLMSTEAD is accomplishing a good work in Martinsville, Ind. In a recent report he says: “One of my readers of whom I had very little hopes, has begun keeping the Sabbath, as well as three others during the month of February. Ten more of my readers are very favorable. At present I have five public night meetings each week, then I visit and hand out the Bible Teacher during the day.”

A NEW church building at Glenelder, Kan., was dedicated with appropriate services Sunday, March 18, Elders McReynolds, Ogden, Trubey, and Hanhardt being present. This building is described as a neat structure, twenty-two by thirty-six feet, well built, nicely finished, and seated with chairs. Its cost was between six hundred and seven hundred dollars, all of which was paid, and a small sum left in the hands of the building committee.
