SEVEN have been added to the church in Syracuse, New York, by baptism.

A CHURCH of twenty-seven members has been organized in Muncie, Indiana.

PASTOR J. A. HOLBROOK reports the baptism of four young people at Union, Oregon.

UNDER the direction of Pastor J. M. Reese the new church at Appleton City, Mo., was dedicated, on January 27.

Six persons were recently baptized at Cadillac, Michigan, as the result of Bible-readings that have been held with the individuals.

AT Morden, Manitoba, a number have united with the church during the past few months, and a new church building has been erected and is nearly paid for.

THE brethren at Florence, Mo., are agitating the matter of erecting a church building. Already a number of pledges have been secured for that purpose.

BROTHER W. S. CRUZAN reports six additions to the company of believers at Mt. View, Mo. The brethren at that place are erecting a house of worship.

PASTOR H. K. WILLIS recently baptized twelve persons, who united with the church at Carthage, Mo. The church-school at that place is in a prosperous condition.

AT Juniata, Alabama, Pastor Woodford has concluded a two weeks' series of meetings. Nine persons were baptized and a church of twenty-seven members was organized. At Fruithurst several have commenced the observance of the Lord's Sabbath, and it is desired to organize a church there soon.

THE president of the Tennessee River Conference, Pastor W. J. Stone, says that the year just closed has been the most prosperous for several years. The tithe was increased by one-fifth and the debt of the missionary society was materially reduced. A goodly number of members have been added to the various churches in the conference, and one new church has been organized.

BROTHER J. W. BARTLETT sends us this experience in canvassing for “Bible-Readings:” “I had taken an order from a lady, whose husband was not in. When I called to deliver the book, she sent me to her husband, who was at the barn. He told me considerable about the Papacy, and seemed to be well posted. But he rather discounted my business, and asked if I could not find a better. I really gave up delivering my book as I went with him to the house. But when he saw the book, he immediately paid for it, saying, ‘Of course I want the book.’ He then brought out a copy of the SIGNS OF THE TIMES, and pronounced it authority.”
