THREE persons have recently begun the observance of the Sabbath at Myrtle Point, Ore.

A COMPANY of eleven members has been raised up at Choteau, Mont., since last July. A Sabbath-school has been organized.

THE company at Newport News, Va., has erected a chapel which it was expected would be dedicated the first week in December.

AT Stillwater, Minn., where a little company of eight persons has recently accepted the message, there is a flourishing Sabbath-school of twenty-five members.

A THREE months' canvassers' school will be held in Minneapolis, Minn., beginning Jan. 5, 1904. The aim will be to give a practical preparation for the canvassing work.

SUNDAY, November 15, a church of fifteen members was organized at Fort Scott, Kan. Five persons were baptized the previous Sabbath, and several others desire baptism at an early date.

A NEW church building is nearing completion at Glenwood Springs, Colo. Church buildings are also in process of erection at Montrose, Palisades, and Cedaredge.

IN the Riverside, Cal., Press of December 8, we note an interesting reference to the meetings which have been conducted there the past two months by Elder William Simpson, from which we quote the following: “As a result of the meetings fifty persons have already begun the observance of the Sabbath according to the commandment, which is upon the seventh day of the week, or Saturday. At the close of the meeting last evening Mr. Simpson presented to the people the need of a suitable place of worship, and in a few minutes over one thousand dollars was raised toward building a church. A central location has been purchased near Twelfth and Orange Streets, and work will be begun soon upon a neat little church edifice. The meetings still continue. Tuesday evening Mr. Simpson will show the Bible plan of raising money to carry out the work of the gospel without the aid of church fairs and festivals.”
