THE Workers' Record, of March 18, reports, “There were six additions to the Kansas City church last Sabbath, and two the preceding Sabbath.”

AT Hemlock Hollow, Pa., six persons, among whom are a clergyman and his wife, have begun the observance of the Bible Sabbath, under the labors of Elder S. S. Shrock.

AT Glasgow, Mo., two families were led to promise obedience to the truth through the recent labors of Brother H. E. Meyer, in a country schoolhouse near that town.

BROTHER CHARLES BAIERLE reports from Coudersport, Pa., that fifteen persons there have promised obedience to the Sabbath commandment, and meetings are being continued, with a good prospect of still greater results.

AT Central City, Ky., where the truth has never been proclaimed by the preacher, Brother Byron Hagle found two families keeping the Sabbath, and actively at work scattering tracts. The city contains from three to four thousand inhabitants, and a series of meetings will probably be held there soon.

THE Cleveland, Ohio, church is erecting a new church building on Hough Avenue, to cost $7,500. It will have a seating capacity of 600. The dedication is expected to take place about June 1. Any interested ones who would be willing to assist in this enterprise by donations may send the same to the treasurer of the board of trustees, A. Dingwall, 346 Case Avenue.

AT Lake Arthur, La., after a debate on the question whether Christians should observe the seventh day of the week or the first, in which the claims of the fourth commandment were upheld by Brother Henry Johnson, one man began the observance of the Sabbath. This was the result of a debate into which Brother Johnson had been forced by a prominent Baptist minister of that State, who came there to overthrow the work previously done.
