News from the Field

A STATE convention for young people is to be held at Kansas City, Mo., November 27-30.

A CHURCH organization was effected at Rocky Ford, Col., October 31, by Dr. W. W. Hills.

FIVE candidates were baptized recently by Brother J. F. Jenson, at Calhan, Col., making fourteen in that field during the summer.

THE organization of a Sabbath-school at Estancia, N. M. with fifteen members, is reported in Echoes from the Field, by Brother H. L. Hoover.

A CLASS of six nurses were graduated from Mount View Sanitarium, Spokane, Wash., October 3. There were four young women and two young men.

As a result of meetings held in North Denver, Col., by Brother G. W. Anglebarger and others, sixteen persons have accepted the message as presented.

BROTHER F. I. RICHARDSON, accompanied by his wife, arrived in this city on the 8th inst., and called at this office. He recently returned from Jamaica, where he spent about six years in mission work. He has also served two years in South Africa. He is now on an independent recuperating tour, and will spend some time in Southern California, and promises some missionary articles for the SIGNS.

THE brethren throughout California, as well as those in Georgia, will sympathize deeply with Brother H. F. Courter in the bereavement caused by the death of his wife, Carrie W. Courter, who died at Decatur, Ga., October 23. Brother Courter is vice-president of Georgia Conference, but is laboring under pay of California Conference. In addition to his bereavement, he suffered the inconvenience of being robbed of $130 a few days afterward.

In the Southern Illinois Herald we note a letter from Brother R. B. Craig, of Peoria, in which he says: “We have at last secured a very suitable building for sanitarium work. It is a brick structure, centrally located, and by very slight changes can be well adapted to treatments and sanitarium work. It is now being used as a boarding-house. Those who own it furnished it very nicely some years ago to be used as a home for working girls. They have donated the furniture, provided we make our own repairs, such as repapering, painting, and so on.”

A REPORT to the Review from Brother J. B. Beckner, of Kingston, Jamaica, says: “I have just returned from a trip to the west end of the island. I baptized twelve during this time. Brother Tanner baptized thirteen while he was away. The John’s Hall church is now finished, and ready for service. Two others are being worked upon. The frame of the Glen Goffe house is up. We are putting forth every effort to carry our burdens. The Lord is truly blessing our efforts, both financially and spiritually. But we are beginning to feel the effects of the storm, and look for very close times here for the next six months. Native food is scarce, and has nearly trebled in price. We are of good courage.”
