Field Notes

At the close of a three weeks' meeting recently held in the church at Ford's Store, Md., by Brother John F. Jones, three young men were baptized. Elder Lukens was present part of the time.
THE Pacific Union Recorder says: “In writing from Nome, Alaska, on October 24, Brother J. M. Estes states that two Eskimos there are keeping the Sabbath.” We are glad to pass on the word that representatives of the people of the uttermost north have received the Sabbath reform message.
BROTHER W. E. HANCOCK, having failed to secure a place to hold meetings on Manitoulin Island, Canada, is compelled for a time to leave the interest awakened there by tent-meetings. While many of the people of the community acknowledge the truth, but three or four have taken their stand to obey.
ON Sabbath, November 24, Elder H. H. Burkholder organized the first Seventh-day Adventist church at Zanesville, Ohio, with eleven members. Nine of these were new converts to the faith, of whom several took their stand during the meetings held by Brother B. L. House. There are ten others keeping the Sabbath, some of whom will join later.
DURING the past year Brother Fred H. Seeney, at work among the colored people of the Chesapeake Conference, has held meetings in Baltimore, Md., and Laurel and Cheswold, Del. There are twenty new converts as the result of his work in these places. Among them is a man, eighty-six years old, who for nearly seventy years has been the main support of the Methodist church at Laurel, Del. Many others are interested, and we bid our brother Godspeed.
