THREE persons united with the Oklahoma City church at the time of the last quarterly meeting.
A RECENT report from Jersey City announces the baptism of three persons in the baptistery of the Jersey City church.
A REPORT from Zanesville, Ohio, says: “The last month has brought good cheer to our little company. Three others have taken their stand for the truth.”
A REPORT in the New York Indicator states: “We now have a nicely organized company in Saratoga, who are rejoicing in the truth and looking for the Lord’s coming.”
ELDER J. H. BEHRENS reports from Sanitarium, Cal.: “During the week of prayer thirty persons were baptized, four of whom had requested rebaptism. Six of those united with the St. Helena church. The donation from Sanitarium amounted to $256.19.”
FOUR new Sabbath-keepers are mentioned by Elder A. O. Burrill in a recent report from Ontario.
TWELVE persons have recently begun the observance of the Bible Sabbath at Glendale, Mont., as a result of four weeks’ labor by Brother W. H. Holden.
THE Atlantic Union Gleaner of January 10 states: “Six members were received into the church at South Lancaster [Mass.] last Sabbath.”
Two new churches have recently been organized in West Australia by Pastor Burr Finster,—one at Kalamunda and the other at Moliabeenee.—Union Conference Record.
ELDERS OLSEN and Hilliard, of the Australasian field, have recently begun labor in West Australia. Before leaving Gippsland, his former field of labor, Elder Hilliard organized a church there.
SISTER MARY I. STEELE reports from Fort Scott, Kan.: “I have twenty regular readers each week, with a prospect of a few more. Three of these have begun to keep the Sabbath and attend our Sabbath-school. There are others who will soon begin to keep the Sabbath.”
SPEAKING of the prosperity of the work at San Diego, Cal., a writer in the Pacific Union Recorder says: “Last Sabbath was a good day; the seating capacity of the church was tried to its utmost, and I think, if members continue to come in, we shall soon have to move into a larger building, or put on an addition.”
BROTHER C. T. REDFIELD reports from High Hill, Ohio: “As a result of tent-meetings held at this place by Brother K. R. Haughey and myself, and Bible work done since the close of the meetings, three faithful souls have decided to keep the holy Sabbath of the Lord. Four others who acknowledged its binding claims are deeply stirred.”
A REPORT from our Spanish minister in Arizona, Elder Marcial Serna, who has been laboring at Globe, says: “I am very glad to tell the brethren that this evening [December 27], I baptized five dear souls. The Lord has blessed the work among the Spanish-speaking people. We have a Sabbath-school here with four classes. Last month the members paid seventeen dollars tithe, and to-day I received fourteen dollars more. I think you will be glad to know how the Lord is blessing the work here.”
THE president of the West Australian Conference says in a recent report: “I have just returned from a week’s visit at Heidelberg. I had a good time. On the Sabbath we had baptism, when nine followed their Lord in this ordinance. On Sunday we organized a church of fourteen members. The work here was begun by Brother Brittan over a year ago. Several from other places have moved in, so we now have a nice little company. They expect to build a church next summer. I have baptized twenty since my return from the Union Conference Council, and expect to go to-morrow to hold another baptismal service.”
