ELDER F. F. PETERSEN recently baptized seven persons at Eau Claire, Wis.

BROTHER R. F. CULPEPPER reports the baptism of three persons at Longview, Tex. The church-membership at that place is now fourteen, and the Sabbath-school has thirty-three members.

AT Streator, Ill., five persons were baptized and joined the church, Sabbath, May 26.

THE work at Albuquerque, N. M., is prospering. Six persons were baptized by Elder James Leland, June 5, and three others united with the company of believers there.

A CHURCH of thirteen members was organized at Quinlan, O. T., May 27, following the baptism of seven of their number by Elder J. R. Bagby. Three more have received baptism since the organization.

BROTHER W. S. LOWRY reports from Paducah, Ky.: “Our meetings at the tent are progressing nicely, and are full of interest. The Sabbath has been presented, and several have decided to obey. We enjoyed the presence of some new Sabbath-keepers at our excellent meeting last Sabbath, June 2. Since then others have decided to obey.”

ELDER E. A. MERRELL reports that on a recent Sabbath in Kansas City, Mo., two persons were baptized and united with the church, two were rebaptized, two joined on profession of faith, and two handed in their names, requesting to be taken into church-membership. Last Sabbath a brother in Sedalia, manager of a grocery store, began the observance of the Sabbath.

OF the tent-meeting in Nashville, Tenn., Elder G. I. Butler writes in The Watchman as follows: “Beginning May 31, the meetings have been in progress up to this writing, June 12. The interest thus far has been much greater than in the meeting last summer, and indeed has been quite encouraging, though not specially remarkable. Through the week the attendance has probably reached ordinarily about one hundred and fifty; Sunday nights nearly twice as many have been present. Last Sunday night the seats would not hold all in attendance. We expect to have more seats very soon. The interest holds up well, and many seem interested.”

PLANS were recently laid by the conference committee to have five tent companies in the field, immediately after the close of Fernando Academy, which will be about the first of June. These companies have been assigned fields of labor as follows: Elder S. N. Haskell, with a large corps of canvassers and Bible workers, at San Bernardino; Elder R. S. Owen and Brother H. J. Hoare, at some beach town near Los Angeles, which will probably be Santa Monica; Elders S. Thurston and S. T. Hare in a large colored community in the suburbs of Los Angeles; Elder G. W. Rine, assisted by Brother E. C. Silsbee as tent master and Bible worker, at Escondido; Elder W. W. Simpson, assisted by Brother and Sister Errington, who recently embraced the truth under Elder Simpson’s labors at San Diego, as Bible workers, to hold a series of meetings in the large pavilion at Santa Ana, the effort probably to be followed by the general camp-meeting for southern California, which will begin about August 9.—Pacific Union Recorder.
