WRITING to the Kansas Worker, Brother R. W. Parmele reports that a church of fifteen members was organized at Fort Scott on the 15th inst. Brother C. McReynolds, president of the conference, was also present. The brethren have purchased the house of worship formerly occupied by the Dunkards.
WRITING to the Pacific Union Recorder from Phoenix, A. T., Brother A. J. Howard says: “Our sanitarium is filling up now with a good class of patients. The doctor and nurses find plenty to do. Brother E. R. Palmer, of Washington, D. C., also Dr. Hinde and wife, of Chicago, are resting, receiving treatments, and enjoying the pleasant and copious sunshine of Arizona with us at present.”
THE brethren of Avondale church, Cooranbong, N. S. W., have decided to support a laborer in Fiji. The idea of a local church undertaking to sustain a missionary in some needy field, either foreign or domestic, is a good one, and well calculated to keep alive a missionary interest. There are many churches more able financially to shoulder such a responsibility than Avondale that might profit by her example.
A LETTER to this office from Brother N. Z. Town, of Buenos Ayres, Argentina, acknowledges receipt of a shipment of fruit, and for which he did not know what conference to thank. The fruit had been six months on the way, but it arrived in good condition. There were custom-house, storage, and other charges, amounting to ten cents a pound, but that was only half of what such fruit would cost there. Half of the fruit was given to the school, and the remainder was divided among the workers. The letter closes by saying: “The Lord is blessing the work in this field. About eighty have taken their stand with us in this conference this year.” The letter was dated October 21.
