Reports of Progress in the Field
A REPORT from the tent company recently at Gloucester, Mass., states that “thus far there are six who appear to have taken a firm stand for the truth.” The meetings closed in Gloucester, September 11. AT North English, Iowa, where several individuals came into the truth last winter, five more have accepted the message, and a company of nineteen persons is now ready to be organized into a church. BROTHER J. C. STEVENS reports from Newark, N. J., where a season’s tent-meetings have recently closed, that “about twelve have taken a stand for the truth.” “Sabbath, September 10, eight souls followed their Lord in baptism. We expect to have baptism again next Sabbath, when four or five more will go forward.” ELDER T. H. PAINTER reports from Farnham, Va., under date of September 13: “Our meetings here in the tent are still in progress, with good attendance each night. Thus far sixteen are keeping the Sabbath, others are investigating, and some we think will obey soon. The brethren are getting lumber ready for a church building.” ELDER Geo. M. BROWN sends the following corrections to his report from Mexico published in the REVIEW of September 8: The publishing office of El Mensajero de la Verdad does not face the east, but the west. It is thirty-six feet long and eighteen feet wide. Instead of the statement, “About $1,600 from the United States is invested in this property,” we should have said, “About $1,600 United States money is invested,” etc., meaning an amount of Mexican money equivalent in value to $1,600 American money.
