Three members of the student bindery family, South Lancaster, Mass., were baptized on Sabbath, January 5.

Brother C. J. Kunkel reports that, through the Lord’s blessing, the fruit of a tent effort in Winnipeg, Manitoba, the past season, is ten souls who rejoice in present truth.

From Flint, Mich., Brother B. F. Stureman reports that the Sunday following the week of prayer two went forward in baptism, the Baptists kindly granting the use of their baptistery. The following Sabbath two others united with the church on profession of faith.

Four persons recently embraced the truth, and three of them were baptized at Leach, Tenn. Brother W. S. Lowry held three meetings in a schoolhouse a few miles from the church, and then continued in the church, with the result above told.

Brother Chas. F. Ulrich reports progress in presenting the truth at East Wakefield, N. H. Although the plain, cutting truths have been presented, there is no prejudice. Another man and his wife have decided to obey God. A Sabbath-school of eleven members has been organized.

Brother Ray Hickman reports fruit still being gathered of the seed sowing done at the tent-meeting held by Brother J. R. Bagby and himself near Addington, Okla. The last Sabbath of the week of prayer, another brother was baptized, making seven that have been added to the church there recently.

Sister Sophia V. Parker, the Bible worker in Shawnee, Okla., has been made glad to see seven of her readers recently begin to observe the Sabbath. Two of these first became interested during the tent-meetings the past summer. Other attendants at the meetings are still interested, and she hopes for still more soon to join the thirteen new Sabbath-keepers in Shawnee.

Sister Ella Mallory, who styles herself a “paper missionary,” is selling our periodicals in the settlements along the Tanana River, a tributary of the Yukon, in Alaska. She sends clippings of favorable notices that appear in the newspapers, and reports only the kindest of treatment. Her zeal for her work is attested by the fact of enduring the rigors of that climate, being out when the thermometer registered fifty degrees below zero.

Brother E. R. Williams and his wife are working in connection with the Englewood church of Chicago. They have rented a hall at Sixty-ninth and Sangamon Streets, and besides the Sabbath meetings hold services three evenings in the week. Since the removal of the Sabbath meetings from the small quarters formerly occupied on Sixty-third Street, the Sabbath-school has more than doubled in numbers, and Sabbath, December 15, eight were added to the church, four by letter, and four on profession of faith. There are three to be baptized.
