GLEANINGS FROM THE EASTERN FIELD.
By Editor
MICHIGAN, Newark.—Bro. L. A. Kellogg reports, Jan. 31, that he has held forty meetings here, with good interest and good congregations. Six have taken a firm stand for the truth, and others are interested. Has spoken four times on the subject of temperance and the result has been good. "None of those who have embraced the truth use tobacco, and most of them have given up tea and pork. The importance of the temperance work cannot be overestimated." Grand Junction.—Sixteen are now keeping the Sabbath in this place, as the result of the labor of Bro. R. C. Horton. Twelve of these have signed the covenant, and six have subscribed for the Review for four months. IOWA, Greenwood.—Eld. J. S. Hart, who has been holding meetings about two miles from this place, reports that "five have decided to keep all the commandments of God, and two who were using tobacco and coffee have signed the teetotal pledge." He has also sold about $5.00 worth of reading matter, and obtained five subscribers for the SIGNS, and twelve for Good Health. WISCONSIN, Plover.—Three families have embraced the truth at Doudville, a way-station four miles north of Grand Rapids, Wood, Co., through the labors of Eld. J. J. Smith. The community being mostly Catholic, the average attendance at the meetings was not large. NEBRASKA, Columbus.—Feb. 2, Eld. A. J. Cudney thus reports his labors in this place: "The last eight days have been spent in discussing the Sabbath question with a United Presbyterian minister. The Lord has vindicated his truth. The brethren are strengthened. A Sabbath-school is organized, and Sabbath meetings established." KANSAS, Newton.—Although experiencing bitter opposition, Bro. G. H. Rogers has completed a short course of lectures in this place; and as the result eleven are keeping the Sabbath of the Lord. Sabbath meetings will be continued under the leadership of Bro. Mallernec, who has been six years in the truth. MINNESOTA.—Bro. L. Johnson, who has been laboring in this State during the past year makes the following summary of labor: "Families visited, 319; sermons preached, 347; persons baptized, 19; members taken into the church, 21; members taken into the tract society, 36; signers obtained for the teetotal pledge, 52.
