Field Notes

FIVE have begun the observance of the Sabbath as a result of the tent effort at Cape May Court House, N. J.
ON profession of faith and baptism six were added to the church at Clintonville, Wis., on July 7.
THREE young people at Cliff Island, Maine, have taken their stand for the truth, and two others have been reclaimed.
THE tent effort at Newberry, Pa., is beginning to bear fruit, ten having already signified their intention of obeying the commandments of God.
ON July 7 and 14 fourteen persons were added to the church at LaFarge, Wis. Most of these had but recently taken their stand for the truth.
BROTHER W. F. SCHWARTZ reports the addition of four persons to the church at Johnstown, Pa., by baptism, and six additions to the Clearfield church.
THE work carried on by Brethren P. G. Stanley and M. B. Butterfield at Urbana, Ill., has resulted in the addition of ten new Sabbath-keepers to the company there.
A SERIES of tent-meetings just closed in Cushing, Tex., as a result of which ten persons took their stand for the truth, while others are expected soon to join the company.
THE brethren at Cordell, O. T., purchased a tent for the holding of meetings at that place. Brother Isaac Baker is conducting a series of meetings at that place at the present time with every indication of encouraging results.
ELDER A. P. HEACOCK reports the baptism of ten persons at St. Joseph, Mo., with several others, both German and English, keeping the Sabbath.
AT Kanawha, I. T., Brother T. J. Hickman is conducting an encouraging tent effort, and has already organized a Sabbath-school of fourteen members. He says: “The enemy is roaring a little, and threatens to send for a fighter, but he is not keeping the good people away.”
OUR churches in Boston and Everett united in a day of fasting and prayer just prior to the presentation of the Sabbath truth at the Boston tent by Elder Lee S. Wheeler. As a result, at the close of the discourse on the Sabbath question, a considerable number arose and signified their intention of keeping the Sabbath.
FOLLOWING a debate at Richland Springs, Tex., earnest house-to-house work was taken up, and thousands of pages of our literature were circulated among the people. Brother W. M. Cubley reports the organization of a Sabbath-school of fifteen members at that place. By further labor it is hoped a company will be brought out sufficiently large to form a good church organization.
BROTHER H. E. SHELSTAD, who is doing regular colporteur work in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, reports as one week’s work in that vicinity the sale of over six hundred of the earthquake special Signs, the sale of books amounting to nineteen dollars, and the holding of ten Bible readings. He says: “I praise God that he gives me a part in this closing work. It makes one happy to see how eager the people are to send the paper to their friends.”
IN all the conferences meetings in tents or halls are now in progress, and in very many of these the workers are just in the midst of presenting the most testing truths to their audiences. In the State and union conference papers many appeals are being made by the workers that the brethren and sisters remember the work in their prayers, that the importance of these truths may be pressed home by the Holy Spirit, and that the hearers may be led to accept, rather than turn away from, this saving truth. In many places efforts are about to close, and souls are deciding for eternity. Pray for victory.
AT the western Pennsylvania camp-meeting and conference held at Du Bois, we find among the resolutions the following: “That we recognize in the magazine Liberty a timely publication, and recommend that it be given a wide circulation.” They also resolved to take definite means to place the REVIEW in the hands of every Seventh-day Adventist in that conference. They propose to join with the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference in supplying Liberty to State officials, members of the State legislature, and to prominent judges and lawyers in the State. They recommend that the local churches supply it to city, county, and town officers, lawyers, judges, justices, and ministers, and that some in each church take up the work of securing subscriptions for it.
