BROTHER F. M. CORBALEY reports the baptism of four persons at Burlington, Iowa, April 6.

TEN members have been added to the Houston, Tex., church since the last Texas camp-meeting.

BROTHER F. H. CONWAY reports five recent baptisms at Stillwater, O. T. A Sabbath-school has been organized at this place.

THE company at Celt, Mo., have nearly finished a new church building, in the basement of which is a room for a church-school.

A CHURCH of fourteen members was organized at Peru, Ind., March 20. Two others joined the church the same day, besides which there are nine others in the city who are keeping the Sabbath.

THE Battle Creek church-school will close its spring term the first week in June. The principal, J. G. Lamson, reports: “Two of the rooms at the new building are now filled with pupils, and an additional teacher will be needed if all the work is accomplished that is called for this term.”

WRITING from Baton Rouge, La., Elder C. A. Watkins says: “Since the last report some victories have been gained for the cause in this part of the field. A few have begun the observance of the Sabbath, but the enemy is working hard.” Elder Watkins was expecting to join Elder R. C. Horton shortly in a tent effort in New Orleans.

ELDER A. G. HAUGHLEY says of the work in the West Michigan Conference: “The work is progressing very nicely in the West Michigan Conference. W. D. Parkhurst, W. H. Heckman, and D. T. Bourdeau are engaged in a special effort in Grand Rapids, Mich. Elder R. C. Horton is working in Bangor, and reports four new converts to the faith. Brother Hehner is at work in new territory, and is meeting with good success. Elder Fred Brink and W. E. Videto are now at work in Carlton Center. We have a church built at that place, but the membership has been gradually reduced on account of deaths, apostasy, and removals. We hope to see the work revived in this field.”

“We have had a very successful school year at Cedar Lake, under the supervision of Elder S. M. Butler as principal. We do not have a very large corps of workers in this field when we take into account the institutions that have to be supplied with laborers from this conference. However, the Lord has thus far blessed our efforts.”
