AMONG items of recent progress by the church at Ash Grove, S. D., reported by Brother M. M. Ruiter, is the reclaiming of one backslider, the addition of one new convert to the truth, and an entire family of new Sabbath-keepers, besides an increasing spirit of liberality in giving for the advancement of the message.

BROTHER S. S. RYLES reports concerning the work in Waco, Tex.: “During a series of meetings at Waco, Tex., in February and March, a church of nine members was organized, and nine more were added—seven by baptism and two awaiting that ordinance. A live Sabbath-school is in progress, and plans are being laid for a summer church-school. Forty-five dollars has been subscribed already.”

BROTHER C. E. RENTFRO reports four new Sabbath-keepers at North English, Iowa.

BROTHER THOMAS DEFREEZE, who is working among the colored people in northeastern Texas, reports: “I went to Mexia, and in company with J. H. Hollis walked twenty-five miles to Fairfield, Tex., where we worked from the fourteenth to the twenty-sixth. We had a good meeting, and at the close there were fifteen Sabbath-keepers, and I think others will join us later.”
