General Notes

FOUR have been baptized in Kingstown, St. Vincent, during the last month.
FROM Port of Spain, Trinidad, Elder Haysmer writes: “The work is onward. On the day of my arrival here eight were baptized, and others will be baptized next week.”
BROTHER H. C. GOODRICH writes from Belize, British Honduras: “The interest in the mission is still good. The missionary spirit is growing, especially among the new members. Three are to be baptized next Sabbath.”
ELDER G. W. REASER writes from Johannesburg that the tithe is coming in well from the Transvaal field. He calls earnestly for another worker, and says that if the increase in funds continues, they will probably be able to support one or more workers themselves during 1903.
BROTHER J. E. FULTON reports that “a native Fijian has begun to preach the Sabbath truth in the Fiji Islands, though he never met any of our missionaries. He accepted the Sabbath through reading a portion of a torn tract, and quite a number have become Sabbath keepers by reading the native literature.”
BROTHER N. Z. TOWN writes from Buenos Ayres that Brother Ernst, who has been canvassing for El Faro, has demonstrated that yearly subscriptions can be taken with success. He is now securing from five to seven subscriptions each day; and they expect that when he goes into the country, he will be able to do even better, as he is now working in a suburb of the capital.
A LETTER received from Miss Cora Blodgett, written from London, England, reports the safe arrival of the missionary party in that city. She says they are all of good courage, and thankful for the privilege of a part in this great work. She reports the young people who have recently gone to London to connect with the school, as doing nicely, and glad to be there. She expected to sail for Natal, November 15.
MISS ELLEN BURRILL writes from Union College, Kenilworth, South Africa, that the workers in the school are of good courage. A change has recently been made in the college faculty. Mr. Charles H. Hayton is the principal, Mrs. F. L. Mead the matron, and Miss Commin has charge of the small boys. Miss Burrill is the preceptress. Besides these, there are two young men from the Colony teaching in the school—Mr. W. H. Haupt and Mr. A. J. Commin. Sister Burrill says: “I am daily more and more thankful that I can labor anywhere for my Master. It is a wonderful thing to be a laborer together with him. If all we receive from our labors were the joy we have day by day, I am sure we are well repaid. But when I think of the eternal life beyond, I feel to labor with renewed energy, that I may be ‘accounted worthy.’”
SINCE the close of the Erin, Tenn., camp meeting, several who had not before taken their stand have expressed an intention to join the company of those keeping God’s commandments.
BRETHREN R. R. KENNEDY and R. B. Thurber, who have been conducting a tent effort at Coal Grove, Ohio, report that several who have attended the meetings have begun the observance of the Sabbath, and have expressed an intention to obey all the truth.
A PROFITABLE canvassers’ institute closed the middle of September, in San Fernando, Trinidad. Thirty-six persons were in attendance. Of these, eighteen have gone out into the work. The territory has been divided into seven districts, with an agent in charge of each district.
