IN a recent letter Elder D. C. Babcock says that the son of a chief arrived at the mission in Freetown, Sierra Leone, July 18, to attend school.

FROM Batoum, on the eastern shore of the Black Sea, Elder J. T. Boettcher sends word: “After good meetings in Siberia and South Russia, I am now in the Caucasus.” Batoum, he says, is beautifully situated, with “its sea, and hills, and splendid climate; but no light of the truth has yet been kindled here.”

SIX persons were recently baptized in the baptistery of the First Baptist church of Kenosha, Wis., by Elder M. H. Serns, as the result of a tent effort held in that city. Another has accepted the Sabbath, but wishes to study the truth further before joining the church. The meetings at La Farge have awakened an excellent interest, and four persons have been baptized. At Hillsboro a Sabbath-school of fourteen members has been organized, and a number are interested in the truth.
