Field Notes

Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association · Battle Creek, Mich. · May 19, 1903

THE Second Seventh-day Adventist church of Atlanta, Ga. (colored), was organized April 19 by Elders H. F. Courter and G. B. Douglas, with a membership of fifteen, ten of whom received baptism the previous Sabbath.

At the last quarterly meeting of the Salamanca, N. Y., church, April 25, several names were added to the church list by letter, and three persons made application for membership, who are expecting baptism. The church has a present membership of twenty-six, and seems to be in a flourishing condition.

THE following report of work being done by our colored brethren in Mississippi in the circulation of our literature, is furnished by Brother F. R. Rogers, of Vicksburg. The report covers the month of March:—

“The companies at Yazoo City, Columbus, Jackson, and Vicksburg, all handle a club of Signs numbering from five to sixty. The Jackson church handles sixty, and Vicksburg fifty; besides, one hundred and twenty-five copies of The Life Boat are sold each month. The sales of our books, ‘Story of Joseph,’ ‘Coming King,’ ‘Gospel Primer,’ ‘Best Stories,’ ‘Christ Our Saviour,’ and ‘Christ’s Object Lessons,’ together with a few Bibles, during March, amounted to $71.47; cash received.

“Our workers are engaged every night in the week teaching night school or holding Bible readings in some home. The day schools are making good progress, and seeds of truth are sown continually. Our teachers are of good courage, and are now planning how they may increase the efficiency of their school

the coming year. Five souls have decided to obey the truth, and others are deeply interested.

“Remember we are at work, if you do not hear much from us, and pray for the advancement of the work in Mississippi.”
