A REPORT from Lorimor, Iowa, mentions the addition of ten to the membership of the church there.

A REPORT from southern California states that it is planned to hold a tent-meeting at San Luis Obispo this summer.

ELDER S. S. SHROCK baptized six persons at Oshkosh, Wis., on a recent Sabbath. Four of these joined the Oshkosh church.

THE recent proclamation of the truth in Gladstone, Manitoba, has resulted in bringing twelve persons to obey it there. A Sabbath-school of nineteen members has been organized.

A NEW church building was dedicated at Artesian, S. D., during the time of a special meeting held May 10-13. A church was recently organized at that place with twenty-one adult members, some others who were ready to join not being able to be present.

STATISTICS show that about one half of those who have accepted the truth have done so as the result of reading our literature. How timely the instruction, “Where there is one canvasser in the field, there should be one hundred.”—Welcome Visitor.
