A CHURCH of fourteen members was recently organized at Fulda, Minn., by Brother J. H. Behrens. Ground has been purchased as a site for a new house of worship.
OUR tract “The Alarm of War” has been translated into the German and Danish languages. Its immense circulation shows how much the people of the world are alarmed about war, or at least interested in the subject.
AFTER carrying on the Beacon Light Mission at Des Moines, Iowa, just one month it was found necessary to call for help to enlarge the accommodations. The work of the Lord is always greater and more urgent than men’s calculations for doing the work.
BROTHER G. W. REASER, just before going to Upper Columbia Conference, reported three converts at Sacramento and the baptism of three candidates at Stockton, Cal. At the latter place he delivered a lecture on temperance and mission work in the Baptist Church, under the auspices of the W. C. T. U.
FROM Field Echoes we learn that out of the canvassing class at Battle Creek College, eight or nine will work in Michigan, about the same number in Wisconsin, and others will go to Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Kentucky. Canvassing is taught in the college, and two of the professors will take the field during the vacation.
A LETTER from Sister Vesta J. Farnsworth, secretary of New Zealand Conference, says: “Our new tract society building in Wellington is nearing completion, and probably by the time this reaches you, will be ready for occupation. The lower floor will be used as offices and salesroom, and the upper story as a hall for meetings.”
NOTICE is given in Echoes from the Field, by Mrs. E. H. Nixon and D. C. Chatfield, that “there has been started in Boulder a home for homeless women, an institution where those who practically have no home, and whose health or circumstances will not permit them to struggle with the world single-handed and alone, may be sheltered. It is designed to be an institution where any woman in need of a home shall be received, regardless of her profession of faith. At the same time it is the plan of those who will be in charge that it shall be a place where God will be recognized and His wisdom and direction sought.
Any assistance given by those interested in philanthropical work for the maintenance of this home, either by donation of means, or of foods, such as beans, peas, canned or dried fruits, flour, meal, or vegetables, will be gratefully received.”
THE baptism of six persons at Baraboo, Wis., on the 7th inst., is reported by Brother F. F. Peterson.
A CHURCH of fifteen members was recently organized at Ukiah, Cal., where Brother H. S. Guilford has been laboring for some time. Brethren W. T. Knox, president of the conference, and N. C. McClure, of the executive committee, officiated at the organization. It is expected that several members will be added to the church in the near future, and steps have been taken toward the erection of a new house of worship.
THE April issue of the Advance, our New Zealand Conference organ, says: “Brother W. H. Coville and wife came on the last boat from Honolulu to New Zealand, and they are now in Wellington. These workers have been engaged in selling health works for several years, with marked success, and were among the first canvassers who went to England. The past two years they have been in the Hawaiian Islands.”
