Two persons were baptized, and joined the church at Ames, Iowa, February 23.

BROTHER W. M. CUBLEY reports that ten have accepted the truth near Corpus Christi, Tex.

A CHURCH of ten members was recently organized at Mabelvale, Ark., by Brother H. Clay Griffin.

IN connection with meetings in other places, one or two meetings a week have been held in Genoa, Nev., for about five months, by Brethren A. J. Osborne and B. E. Beddoe. They report fourteen to be now keeping the true Sabbath, and that the Signs of the Times is going regularly into nearly one half of the homes in town. Two yearly subscriptions for our foreign papers have been taken.

FROM Humboldt and Dakota City, Iowa, Brother R. E. Burke reports three more to have accepted the message. From thirty to thirty-five attend the Sabbath services.

BROTHER E. B. HOPKINS reports the baptism of four persons at Sherry, Tex., where he held meetings for a week following interest created by Bible readings conducted by Sister Bertie Stagner.

QUITE a number of new Sabbath-keepers are the result of faithful Bible work done by Sister Parker, in Shawnee, Okla. Brother Andrew Nelson has recently organized a church of twelve members, and the prospects are good for others to join in the future.

REPORTING from Watertown, N. Y., Brother John S. Wightman says: “As a result of the city-hall public lectures given by Mrs. Wightman and myself, ten persons have accepted the present-truth messages, and will shortly unite with the church here. After eleven weeks of almost nightly meetings, the attendance is still good, and the interest and desire to hear is better now than at any time. So much for the power of the message.”

ALTHOUGH the breaking out of smallpox at Sergeant Bluff, Iowa, obliged Brother O. M. Kittle to close his meetings when in the midst of presenting the Sabbath question, three persons have accepted the truth, and he hopes for more when he shall be permitted to return and finish the work. Meanwhile he has been laboring at Newell to finish the work begun by Brethren P. E. Brothersen and W. H. Sherrig. As a result of the combined efforts, a company of ten have accepted the truth and are ready for organization.
