Five tent efforts are in progress in the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference.

Three persons were recently added by baptism to the church at Rocky Ford, Colo.

Three persons were recently baptized at Howard City, Mich., and one more is awaiting baptism, as a result of work done in private houses in that vicinity.

Elder J. G. Hanhardt reports the baptism of four persons at Great Bend, Kan., August 6, who with three others were added to the church there.

Elder Sidney Scott, who has been working among the colored people in Nicodemus, Kan., reports that there are ten new Sabbath-keepers there, and he feels sure there are more to follow.

Elder S. J. Hersum reports from Phillips, Maine: “Since my last report we have had two baptisms, at which nine persons were baptized. Seven have begun to keep the Sabbath since we came here.”

The tent company at Toledo, Ohio, reports: “Everything indicates, at this writing, a good harvest of souls. A goodly number have already made their decision to keep all the commandments of God.”

Elder R. C. Horton reports from Bangor, Mich.: “We leave behind us in Bangor a nice company of Sabbath-keepers who have accepted all parts of the message. We expect to soon organize a church there of twenty-five or thirty members. A tract society and Sabbath-school have been organized, and the company in that place are laboring faithfully for the salvation of their neighbors and friends.”
