SEVEN persons were baptized at Norfolk, Neb., May 29, by Elder J. J. Graf.
EIGHT persons were baptized at South Portland, Maine, Sabbath, June 4. Three united with the Portland church.
ELDER G. E. LANGDON reports five new Sabbath-keepers at New Haven, Conn., also the baptism of four young people at Marshfield Center, Conn., where seven have recently united with the church.
BROTHER J. S. KROEKER reports from Grand Island, Neb., where he has been since last November: “Eleven persons have been baptized since my stay here, and some others are much interested. Of these eleven, there were eight Germans, one Dane, and two English.”
A CHURCH of twelve members has been organized at Hiawatha, Kan., where meetings have been held by a company of workers under the leadership of Elder L. F. Trubey, and more recently canvassing and Bible work have been done by Brother F. C. Clark and Sister Minnie Wheeler.
BROTHER J. C. FOSTER reports the baptism of three persons at Red Lodge, Mont., and the addition to the church there of four others. Two others at Red Lodge and two at Rockvale are awaiting baptism. Sabbath, May 28, a church of eighteen members was organized at Rockvale.
A REPORT from Texas by Brother D. U. Hale states that at the close of a series of meetings at Cross Roads schoolhouse, five persons began the observance of the Sabbath. On May 28 five persons were added by baptism to the Douglass church in Nacogdoches County, making the present membership of that church seventeen.
IN the Nebraska Reporter of June 15 we note the following: “Brethren W. D. MacLay and F. W. H. Schroeder are engaged in conducting a series of tent-meetings at Cedar Rapids. Brethren J. W. Beams and Roscoe Baer are engaged in a similar effort at Cuba; and Brethren W. B. Hill and N. C. Nelson have begun tent-meetings in the city of Lincoln. Tent-meetings in other places will be in progress by the time this report is read.”
THREE persons were baptized at Bowling Green, Ohio, Sabbath, June 4.
TENT companies are now located in Colorado at Denver, New Windsor, and Parachute. In New Mexico a tent company is working at Alamogordo.
THE reports from Mexico for the month of April show one hundred and two yearly and ten six-months’ subscriptions secured for El Mensajero; value, $83.50 Mexican money. Tracts and single copies of the paper to the value of $18.46 were sold.
CORRECTION.—We were mistaken in announcing the organization of a church at Brockman, O. T., in the REVIEW of June 16,—the company there has not yet been organized,—also in stating that tent-meetings had been held in that place. The meetings were held in a schoolhouse.
OFFICERS of the California Conference elected at the recent conference session are as follows: President, Elder A. S. Kellogg; Secretary, J. S. Osborne; Treasurer, Pacific Press Publishing Co. Executive Committee: A. S. Kellogg, W. T. Knox, M. E. Cady, B. F. Richards, H. H. Hall, D. T. Fero, T. J. Evans, C. E. Leland, J. W. Bagby.
THE Ohio Welcome Visitor says: “Brother Heber Votaw and wife are much encouraged by visible fruits of their labors in Marion during the year thus far. One family of two adults and several children have accepted the truth as far as they know it, and a number of others are interested; prejudice is giving way to confidence, and the clergy of Marion are friendly.”
FROM Cape Town, South Africa, Brother O. O. Fortner sends this report: “Elder Hankins has just begun a series of tent-meetings at East London, a city in the eastern part of this colony. We have a small tent there. Treatment rooms have been opened in Maritzburg, Natal, and our most experienced nurse is just going to Johannesburg to start a similar work there in conjunction with the meetings to be held by Elder Edmed. There is a good interest in the health work in Natal and the Transvaal.”
IN a recent letter the following notes from the West Michigan Conference are given by the president, Elder A. G. Haughey:—
“We have four tents in the field. It is our purpose to have these ministers with their tents remain in the field all summer. We do not expect them to attend the camp-meeting.
“I spent Sabbath, June 11, with the church at Wright, and baptized six young persons, ranging in age from thirteen to eighteen. All of these young people were pupils in the church-school during the past year, and owe their conversion largely to the influences of the school.”
THE Minnesota Worker gives the following list of workers and their locations in that State for the present summer: “Appleton, A. Mead, E. H. Huntley (a teacher’s summer school will be held at the same time and place, in which North and South Dakota will join with Minnesota. Brother Van Kirk will take charge); Minneapolis, H. Steen, F. E. Rew; St. Paul, English, O. O. Bernstein, S. E. Jackson, A. C. Gilbert; St. Paul, Scandinavian, A. J. Stone, Fred Johnson; Monticello, W. W. Stebbins, C. M. Babcock, E. M. Chapman; Stillwater, F. A.
