ELEVEN persons were baptized at Tremont Temple, Boston, April 8, by Elder L. S. Wheeler. Two of these were Baptists having charge of a Chinese mission in the city.
A COURSE of meetings at Creighton, Mo., conducted by Brother L. W. Terry, March 10-30, has brought six persons into the truth, and one who had left the truth has been reclaimed.
BROTHER H. L. SHAFER says in a recent report from Glenelder, Kan.; “Two were added to the church last Sabbath, and others have begun the observance of the Sabbath.”
A SABBATH-SCHOOL of twenty-five members was organized at Herman, Minn., March 25. Brethren W. W. Ruble and A. C. Gilbert are holding meetings at that place, which are well attended.
A CHURCH building for the first church of Philadelphia, Pa., is in process of erection in a desirable location, at the corner of 51st and Locust Streets. The sum of four thousand dollars has been secured to apply on the cost of the building.

A SABBATH-SCHOOL of fifteen members was organized at Six Points, Ohio, April 1. Brethren F. M. Fairchild and J. O. Young, who have been laboring there, report that a few have decided to become commandment keepers, and the interest among others is still good.
FOR more than ten years the medical missionary work has been established in Portland, Ore. During this time it has grown from occupying a rented building in the center of the city to that of having a large, commodious, airy building, on the western side of Mount Tabor, four hundred feet above the city and five miles from its center, and yet supplied with all the conveniences that a city affords. During the year 1904 the amount of business transacted with the patrons of the institution, for board, room, and medical attention, amounted to $26,788.72, or a weekly average of $515.16. The family of coworkers numbers thirty, and all are seeking to do their utmost to advance the work which they have espoused. We truly believe that the brethren and sisters in the Western Oregon Conference can do no greater work than to give this institution, commonly known as the Portland Sanitarium, their hearty support, and to seek in every way possible to extend its influence. This can be done by calling the attention of friends and neighbors to the careful, painstaking work that is being done at the institution in behalf of suffering humanity.—Pacific Union Recorder.
