Field Notes

A STATE meeting for Ohio workers will be held in Cleveland, April 22-28.

THE church at Burlington, Iowa, has been strengthened by the recent addition of four adults.

THE church at Los Angeles, Cal., now numbers over four hundred members, most of whom reside in the city.

BROTHER V. B. WATTS, who is holding meetings near Gentry, Ark., reports two Sabbath-keepers as the result of his efforts thus far.

AN encouraging outlook is reported from Algona and Ruthven, Iowa, where several of substantial character have recently taken a stand for the truth.

SEVEN tents are to be in the field in Oklahoma the coming summer. The annual camp-meeting will be held at Guthrie, August 25 to September 4.

AN exchange affirms: “An interesting item in connection with the school work in the South is the fact that thus far every church-school established has resulted in a church being organized.”

ELDER R. C. HORTON writes from Bangor, Mich., where he is holding meetings, that the prospect is good for the raising up of a church there, a number having already decided to obey the truth presented, whose example he feels sure will be followed by others.

SISTER ANNA KEMSTRA, who is engaged in Bible work in Grand Rapids, Mich., reports: “I have an interesting company of readers, two of whom have begun the observance of the Sabbath. One of these is a Catholic, who, while searching for truth, said if the Lord told her in the Word that the seventh day was the right day, she would drop everything and keep that day. When the truth was made plain to her, she accepted it fully.”

WRITING from our mission station in Honan, China, Sister Pilquist says: “The Lord is very dear to us. We have had the privilege of seeing wonderful things done in our midst through Jesus Christ, our Saviour. Truly, he has poured out his Spirit upon each of us in a great measure, and we realize as never before that his second coming is at the door.” Sister Pilquist has written an account of her recent personal experiences. We expect to have this for our REVIEW readers very soon.

IN a published report of plans for the work in Texas the coming summer, we note the following:—

“That Elder E. B. Hopkins’ resignation as superintendent of the eastern district be accepted, and Elder D. U. Hale fill the vacancy.

“That Brother and Sister Cably and Sister Minnie Robbins connect with Elder Etheredge in a tent effort in the western part of the State.

“That Sister Kittie Stevenson’s resignation as secretary of the Sabbath-school Department be accepted, and that Ida A. Nelson fill the vacancy.

“That a church-school teachers’ institute be held the last few weeks of school; arrangements to be made by Professor Hughes.”
