BROTHER J. P. PIPER writes: “I recently closed a three-weeks’ course of meetings at Smithburg, Md. Fifteen new Sabbath-keepers are there witnessing to the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.” A Sabbath-school of twenty-eight members was organized, Sabbath, March 27.

BROTHER C. N. MILLER, who is now the editor of the Christian Record, the paper for the blind published at College View, Nebr., with his wife and Miss Wheeler were losers by the fire in Fort Worth, Texas, which burned the Western branch of the Southern Publishing Assn. recently. While on their way from California their baggage was stored at the office, and all was burned.
