A CHURCH of eleven members was organized at Cape May Court House, N. J., August 25, and others are expecting soon to join.

FOUR young men took their stand for the truth as a result of a series of tent-meetings at Millington, Md. They were baptized on September 1, and joined the Millington church.

BRETHREN A. V. COTTON and J. F. Piper report eight persons having taken their stand for the truth at Leon, Iowa. Others are arranging their business so they can keep the Sabbath.

BROTHER J. T. SPRIGGS and W. M. Andress report the raising up of a little company of five at Carson, Iowa. They have moved their tent to Macedonia, and report good prospects for a profitable series of meetings.

IT has been decided by the officers of the Lake Union Conference to ask the young people of that union conference to assume the responsibility of financing the Barotseland Mission. We see from the last issue of the Indiana Reporter that the young people of the Indiana Conference have decided to assume their share of the financial responsibility for the evangelization of that field.

IT is indeed encouraging to see the large number of young persons who are this year earning scholarships in our colleges and academies by selling our books. Some have earned their scholarship several times over in the one season. A report from Beechwood Academy states that a seventeen-year-old girl earned her scholarship, amounting to $155, in the short time of eighty-four hours. This pays her expenses through the entire school year.

THE brethren of the Southern California Conference report one of the most encouraging camp-meetings ever held. About one thousand persons were camped on the ground; the camp-meeting Sabbath-school numbered 1,330; and there were between sixty and seventy baptized. A movement was inaugurated there for the support of a teacher in Rome, Italy, and the first month's salary was provided. Over ten thousand dollars was raised for the Loma Linda Sanitarium, and about four thousand dollars in cash and pledges for the Fernando Academy.
