Field Notes

BROTHER F. F. PETERSEN reports the baptism of five at New London, Wis., on June 23.
BROTHER H. STEEN reports the baptism of four at St. Paul, Minn., and Brother C. M. Babcock reports the baptism of five at Detroit, Mich.
SIX adults have been added to the company of Sabbath-keepers at Florence, Mo., as the result of a course of meetings held in the new church there.
ELDER E. HILLIARD reports from Woodbridge, West Australia, that nine have taken their stand for the truth as a result of meetings just closed there.
ON July 1 a series of tent-meetings was opened in Brooklyn, N. Y., by Elder O. E. Reinke, with a company of three helpers. He asks prayers for the work there.
AT Harmattan, Alberta, as a result of Brother A. C. Anderson’s work, five persons, mostly heads of families, have begun to keep the Sabbath, and are rejoicing in the truth.
THE New York missionary yacht “Sentinel” has completed its trip up the Hudson River and through the Erie Canal to Buffalo, where it will engage in ship mission work.
A LARGE field tent will be used in the city of Cincinnati, Ohio, and another one in Toledo, during the tent season. These tents were recently purchased by the Cincinnati and Toledo churches.
BRETHREN E. G. Olsen, P. A. Field, and E. W. Wolfe began a series of tent-meetings at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on July 6, and request the prayers of God’s people for the success of their work there.
FOUR persons were baptized in the Los Angeles (Cal.) church, Sabbath, June 2.
ON July 7 a church was organized at Ridgefield Park, N. J., by Elder J. E. Jayne.
SABBATH-SCHOOLS have been organized recently at Princeville and West Hallock, Ill.
THE Indiana Reporter states: “The outlook is good for our canvassing work. There will be twenty-five or thirty canvassers in the field by July 1.”
WORK at the Jewish Mission in Boston shows encouraging results. The attendance is increasing, and one Jewish rabbi has openly avowed his belief in Jesus, in spite of the persecution that such a declaration entails.
IN a report from Longview, Tex., Brother E. B. Hopkins says: “Our church now numbers fourteen, and our Sabbath-school thirty-three. Several others are keeping the Sabbath, and I think four will soon come into the church.”
TENT work has been taken up by Brother F. E. Gibson at Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. He reports a favorable outlook there, though the field is a rather difficult one. He requests the prayers of our people for his success in that field.
BROTHER MARTIN OLSON reports the conversion of four persons as a result of his personal work at Clifford, N. D. One of these has already gone into the canvassing field to help make known the message. So the work increases, and the workers increase with it.
IT has been decided to hold the teachers’ institute for southern California at Fernando Academy, beginning July 30, and closing August 13. A partial list of the workers who are expected to take a prominent part in the institute include the names of Prof. W. E. Howell, Sister Sarah Peck, Prof. E. S. Ballenger, Elder E. D. Sharpe, and Sister Grace O’Neil.
ONE sister in Maine proposes to place our literature in the home of every family in her town. Over forty families have already been thus provided for by her. Now if this excellent example will be followed by some one in each town where our people are living, the warning will soon be given in this country. You who read this, do not wait for some one else to do this work in your town. Be yourself God’s instrument to that end. There is probably no work ever started among us that will do so much to hasten the coming of the King. Our desire for his return is shown in what we are willing to do to help in bringing it about. He will come when the world has been warned. Who will be the next now to fall into line in this movement? Do not put it off. Do not let the good impression created by hearing of this sister’s work pass out of your mind, when your own influence is needed to set some other at work. Resolve to do the good work, and carry out the resolution.
