A good degree of success has attended the efforts put forth in new fields during the past year. Last fall a short series of meetings was held at Orlando. A Bible worker remained, holding four meetings each week. As a result, nine persons accepted the truth. As far as I know, all remain faithful but one, and she is very unhappy.

A five weeks’ series of meetings was held at Ward last spring, which resulted in bringing into the truth about twenty persons. A Sabbath school of forty-five members was organized, and a new church building erected.

A camp meeting was held at Bartow, October 10-20. This meeting was followed by a course of lectures; and as a result, eight accepted the truth there.

November 26 a series of meetings was begun in a new church building at Wauchula, and up to date the attendance and interest are excellent. On Sunday night the house would not hold the people, and many stood outside. By invitation of the teacher of the select school, we shall hold our service to-day and Monday night in a large upper room in the school building. This gentleman is not only a school-teacher, but a Baptist minister. He will advertise the subject for our service next Monday evening—that of the Millennium.

It is too early to predict the result of this series of meetings, but we trust that some will yield to the Lord, and serve him.
