A church of nineteen members was recently organized at Glen Elder, Kan.
Ten persons were baptized at the recent camp-meeting held at Bowdle, S. D.
June 18 the church at Loup City, Neb., was increased by the addition of eight members.
A new house of worship was dedicated at Pueblo, Colo., June 19, replacing the one that had been destroyed by fire.
At the late camp-meeting held at Townsend, Mont., ten persons were baptized in the Missouri River one Sunday afternoon.
The West Michigan Herald notes the baptism of four candidates at Rothbury, by Brother W. C. Hebner, with others deeply interested.
Fifteen Sabbath-keeping Christians have been added to our ranks at Yangan, Queensland, through the labors of Brother E. S. Quinn and some lay workers.
In the Welcome Visitor, Brother J. O. Miller reports the addition of five members to the church at Killbuck, Ohio, by baptism. Brother Miller also attended the quarterly meeting at Newark, July 2, when two candidates were baptized in Licking River.
A report in the South African Missionary from Brother H. J. Edmed notes the baptism of eleven believers at the public baths in Maritzburg; the conversion of three, and a continued interest at Durban, where Brethren Altman and Spearing were holding meetings; the baptism of four candidates in the River Umkomass; and the opening of a tent campaign in Johannesburg.
A letter from Brethren J. W. Beams and R. F. Baer notes the conversion of four persons to the truth at Cuba, Neb. An interesting feature of the work was the meetings for the children and youth. The brethren are continuing their labors from house to house.
July 2, seven candidates were baptized at Bethel, Wis., by Brother P. M. Hanson, local elder of the church. They were all Germans, having accepted the truth through the instrumentality of home missionary work on the part of German brethren. In all, thirty-three persons have recently been baptized at Bethel, the seat of Wisconsin’s industrial school.
On the 29th ult., Brother J. H. Westphal and family sailed from New York for South America. Brother Westphal has had a previous experience of seven years in that great field, but for the past three years has been connected with Union College, at College View, Neb.

Reporting to the Welcome Visitor from Akron, Ohio, Sister Ella M. Talmage says: “I am holding more meetings with those not of our faith than at any time since coming to this city. Several are walking in all the light received.” Of the last quarterly meeting she says: “Several met with us for the first time, among them some who have recently commenced to observe the Lord’s Sabbath. We are finding precious jewels here and in near-by towns.”
Of the baptism of two natives at East London, South Africa, Brother I. J. Hankins says, in the Missionary: “One of the candidates, a sister, received a beating from her husband just before she came. He tried to keep her from coming, and said she should not be baptized; but the Lord gave her the victory. Her husband has beaten her several times for keeping the Sabbath, and has frequently turned her outdoors, and told her not to come back. This has caused quite an excitement in the locality, and has led some to inquire into this new doctrine. The other candidate was a Zulu, from Natal. He says he learned the Sabbath truth by his own study of the Bible, but it was not till he came to East London that he found out the truth about Sunday-keeping. He now works for a Jew, who gives him the Sabbath free. He wants to earn enough to pay his fare home, so he can give the truth to his people.”
