General Notes

Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association · Battle Creek, Michigan · Apr 15, 1902

THE company at Philipsburg, Pa., have recently had three accessions to their number, under the labors of Brother W. H. Smith. A good interest to hear the truth is shown there, and further additions are expected.

A SERIES of meetings begun in the town of Divide, Ore., last January, has resulted in bringing eleven souls there to an acceptance of the truth, the work being conducted by Brother C. J. Cole. A Sabbath school of twenty-five members was organized at this place.

As the result of a six weeks' missionary effort on the part of E. L. Cook and J. W. Beams, in the vicinities of Kaycee and Gilbertson, Wyo., nine persons at the former place, and two at the latter, have accepted present truth, and are willing to obey to the extent of their knowledge.

At the town of Gip, O. T., a Sabbath school has been recently organized by Brother D. F. Sturgeon, who reports further that ten persons have begun the observance of the Sabbath there, and have united with the Gip church. Other additions were in prospect at the time of his report.

A SABBATH school of twenty members was recently organized at Youngsville, Pa. Preceding this a study of the prophecies was conducted for a few weeks by Brother August Anderson, the result being that some backslidden Adventists, and others who had believed in the seventh-day Sabbath without identifying themselves with the Adventists, have united in a determination to live out the truth.

REPORTING from Cresco, Iowa, Brethren E. E. Gardner and C. T. Adams state that two members of the W. C. T. U. in that place, one being the president of the local organization, have decided to observe the Sabbath, and a like stand has been taken by “the first cook in the finest hotel in the city.” The truth has been presented there mainly by means of cottage meetings and the distribution of literature.

THREE persons have accepted the truth at Bible Grove, Mo., as a result of a few meetings held recently with the Sabbath keepers there, by Brother W. T. Millman. Brother C. H. Chaffee reports from Oxford, stating that four persons, all heads of families, have accepted the truth there, following an effort consisting of twenty-four discourses and a few Bible readings. There are now six heads of families observing the Sabbath in this place.
