Elder D. C. Babcock, president of West Virginia conference, reports the baptism of three at Newark. His report of the conference school at that place is very encouraging.
There are now three bands of Christian help workers connected with the church in Washington, D. C. If the interest continues to grow, it may be thought advisable to establish a medical mission in that city.

Elder S. J. Hersum writes very encouragingly of the interest in St. Johns, N. F. Of a meeting on a certain evening he says: “Notwithstanding the fact that it rained and snowed so that the water ran in the streets in brooks, our hall was full, some standing.”
Two little girls in Newberg, W. Va., recently started out to sell the “Gospel Primer,” and during the day one took nine orders, and the other eight. This is an indication of what may be done in many other places when the people have a mind to work, and to let the children work.
On the evening of the 5th inst. Elders A. J. Breed, N. C. McClure, M. H. Brown, R. S. Owen, and J. A. Burden, left Oakland, Cal., for Walla Walla, Wash., to attend the district conference.
