AT Elgin, Ohio, five adults who are heads of families have recently begun the observance of the Bible Sabbath.

THE Dakota Worker reports that Elder C. W. Flaiz is gaining strength, and expects to return soon to his field of labor.

MRS. ANNA SUFFICOOL reports six having lately accepted the faith in connection with her Bible work at Rhinelander, Wis.

THE total number baptized at Battle Creek, Mich., since the revival effort was begun, is two hundred and seventeen. There are still others who expect baptism soon.

THE publication of “Christ Our Saviour” in the Zulu language is to be undertaken by our workers who have gone to proclaim the gospel of the kingdom to that people.

BROTHER J. B. STUYVESANT reports eleven additions to the church at Carthage, Mo., where he has been laboring for the past two months, nine of these being new converts to the truth.

FOUR were baptized by Elder N. P. Neilsen at Milwaukee, Wis., Sabbath, February 6. About the same number of candidates are waiting for baptism in the same church, but prefer to go to the river when the ice melts.

THE Indiana Reporter says: “From many letters we are receiving we have reason to believe that our brethren and sisters are of better courage in the work, and that the message is rising in Indiana. Let us praise God and take courage.”

STEPS are being taken for the erection of a church building at Lexington, Ky. A lot has been secured, and the aim will be to have the building completed by next fall.

THE company at Cashion, O. T., has been strengthened by the recent addition of eight to the number of those believing the message of present truth, five of these having been unconverted children of Sabbath-keepers.

As a result of work done at Meno, O. T., since December 20, the church at that place has been reorganized, and its membership increased from five to twenty-nine, seventeen of this number being new Sabbath-keepers.

A LETTER from Porto Rico reports Brother Connerly out in the field doing personal work among the people. The paper has opened the way; and wherever he goes, he finds friends. The workers are hoping soon to be able to hold public meetings in the Spanish language.

BROTHER GEO. F. ENOCH and wife have gone to Bridgetown, Barbados, where they hope by careful living to get rid of the malarial fever, from which they have been suffering for some time. Brother Enoch continues his work as editor of the Caribbean Watchman, and writes that the December number went quickly. They are expecting materially to increase the circulation during 1904.

AN interesting series of meetings and canvassers’ institute combined are in progress at Monroe, Wis. The ministers in charge of this work are Elders H. R. Johnson and F. Stebbeds. R. A. Phelps, the State canvassing agent, is in charge of the canvassing work connected with the institute. The laborers report this form of meeting as being ideal, and as soon as they close the meeting there, they expect to go to Stoughton to conduct similar services in that city.

BROTHER CONRADI sends word that the brethren who have recently gone to East Africa have secured a location about one night’s ride from the future terminus of the railroad now in process of construction. The Lord has opened the way before them by his providence. The brethren write that scarcely a European has been there, and no missionaries whatever are operating in that district, although the missionaries on either side are expecting to enter. The language spoken is the Kip Pare. Elder Conradi is planning to visit this field soon.
