MIAMI.—As a result of the tent meetings held here during the winter, thirty persons have been baptized and have united with the church, and twenty others are keeping the Sabbath, and will join the church as soon as they are thoroughly instructed in the different points of truth.

The meetings opened on Sunday night, and there was an excellent interest manifested from the first. At the opening service the large three-pole tent was filled, and many had to stand. We secured additional seats, which accommodated the people during the week; but the following Sunday nights the tent was packed, and a large number had to stand outside.

The daily papers gave us good reports, by means of which the truth was given wide publicity through this section of the State. We feel that the work is onward here. The church school closed with an enrollment of twenty-four, and the prospects are that it will open in the fall with an attendance of fifty, as all the new members are planning to have their children in the school. The Lord surely has blessed, and to him we give the praise for what has been accomplished. I. M. MARTIN.
