DURING the last nine months of 1908 more than one hundred fifty persons accepted the truth under instruction given by the laborers of the Iowa Conference.

A LETTER from Brother H. J. Farman states that there are three new Sabbath-keepers as the result of a series of Bible studies held with a family in Lunenburg, Vt. A few others are interested.

DURING the latter part of February, three new members were added to the Melrose (Cal.) church by baptism, and one to the Oakland church by rebaptism. Others are awaiting baptism at the earliest opportunity.

A CHURCH of thirty-one members was organized at Schenectady, N. Y., on March 14. This company has been developed as the result of two short series of tent-meetings and the efforts of faithful Bible workers in that place.

A RECENT report from Elder J. D. Rice, of Oakland, Cal., contains the following: “In our labors in Richmond and Berkeley during the month just past, we have to report four baptisms, two now awaiting this ordinance; seven in all who have signed the covenant.”

BROTHER JOHN MANUEL, of Iowa, reports that as a result of a twelve-weeks’ trip among the churches in his district, thirteen persons have professed conversion. Eleven of these were from among the young people; the other two were adults, one of whom is keeping the Sabbath for the first time. Twelve of these have joined the church, subject to baptism.

THE following report comes from Brethren John W. Covert and R. C. Horton, of Missouri: “We have held meetings in the Pioneer, Hoag, and Briggs schoolhouses. The interest has been excellent, and the attendance good. Eighteen willing souls have started here to keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. On Sunday, February 28, eleven of these dear ones were buried with Christ in baptism, all heads of families but one. Others will follow in baptism soon. A Sabbath-school of over thirty members has been organized.”
