SUCCESSFUL canvassing work at Juneau, Alaska, is reported by Brother Walter Harper.
IOWA Conference has returned $6,000 to Union College from the sale of “Christ’s Object Lessons.”
A NEW church was dedicated at Elwood, Ind., July 21. Brother E. S. Huntington conducted the services.
THE publication of the Pacific Union Recorder is announced to take the place of the various State conference organs in the Union conference. The address will be 1059 Castro Street, Oakland, Cal.
THE time of holding the camp-meeting at Greenfield, Ind., has been postponed till August 29 to September 8.
AT the last quarterly meeting at Ogdensburg, Wis., three candidates were baptized by Brother Swin Swinson.
NEBRASKA Conference Committee has decided to change the State camp-meeting from Seward to Lincoln, September 3-16.
THE Dakota Conference has voted to continue the support of Brother L. M. Crowther as a missionary in the island of Trinidad.
DURING the month of August twenty-two camp-meetings are being held and to be held in the United States by Seventh-day Adventists.
ANOTHER of our ministers, Brother J. S. Iles, has fallen at his post. He died at his home near Chesterville, Ohio, June 16, aged 60 years.
WITHIN the two years ending with the recent session of the General Conference, 473 persons were baptized in the West Indian Mission field.
THE executive committee of the Ohio Conference are asking the brethren of that field for contributions to assist in starting a medical missionary work in Cincinnati.
THE brethren at Connersville, Ind., are erecting a new house of worship. The Reporter says they are “straining every nerve to have a creditable building ‘fully paid for.’”
BROTHER E. T. RUSSELL has resigned the presidency of the Texas Conference, on account of ill health, and has removed to Topeka, Kansas, for a change of climate.
MEETINGS are being held among the Oneida Indians, on their reservation in Wisconsin, by Brother H. W. Reed. He reports a fair attendance and good interest.
AT a recent meeting of the Lake Union Conference, Brother W. H. Thurston, who has spent some time as a missionary in Brazil, was elected vice-president and business manager of the conference.
THE missionary spirit is nearly always a prominent characteristic of converts in what we call heathen lands. “Some of the children at our Matabele Mission, not having money to make missionary donations, go without their breakfast every Sabbath and give the cost of the breakfast as their offering.”
THE office of the Gospel Farmer, heretofore published at Harvey, Ill., has been moved to Woodbridge, Va., where it is to be established on a broader basis. The June and July numbers were omitted on account of the change, and it may not appear again until September. Those who have read the paper in the past have appreciated its contents, and will be glad to see it prosper. Price, 25 cents a year; address as above.
IN THE Wisconsin Reporter of July 17, we find the following from Brother A. D. Westcott, who has been laboring at Fennimore: “There are six new subscribers to the SIGNS OF THE TIMES, besides one old subscriber reclaimed. I can not resist the impression that the SIGNS OF THE TIMES is one of the most effective preachers that ever visited any community. Brethren, you who have long prayed that some good missionary would visit your neighborhood with the truth for these last days, please show your neighbors the SIGNS OF THE TIMES, asking them to subscribe, and you may soon be able to thank God that He has answered your prayers.”
DR. J. E. FROOM reports good progress in his efforts to establish the rational treatment of disease in the tri-cities of Rock Island, Moline, and Davenport. He and his wife and son started private treatment rooms in Moline about fourteen months ago. He now says: “It taxes us to secure enough rooms for rent in the neighborhood to accommodate those who must room near by. We are often obliged to refuse board and treatment to those who would gladly come to us for relief. Even our medical office has had to be utilized for two surgical beds. Citizens are urging the establishment of a first-class sanitarium, and are soliciting for this purpose with very good prospects of success. Already building sites have been tendered, and $2,000 donated.”
