Beaver Falls.—Our meetings here are increasing in attendance and interest. We are much encouraged at the prospects of the last effort. One minister has expressed a desire to hear us speak upon the Sabbath question. I have met him several times, and he seems to be a sincere man. Pray for the work. L. S. Wheeler.

Scranton.—We have taken down the tent, and are continuing the meetings in a room in a school building near the tent site. The weather was so rainy and uncertain that we felt that the interest was suffering. Indeed, the congregations have been light since we moved, but little by little they are increasing. It is like beginning a new effort. There are many interested ones who acknowledge the truth, but they are slow to take a decided stand. We are glad that some are moving, and the attendance at the Sabbath service increases. We hope soon to be able to state more definitely as to the visible results. We have a central location for our regular church services, and many opportunities to get into the homes of the people.

Sister Jessie M. Weiss has been instrumental in placing literature in many of the homes, and has had some rich experiences in her house-to-house work. Sister Hodge sells one hundred copies of the Signs of the Times every week, and all the church will take part in the distribution of tracts in envelopes this winter.

Notwithstanding the rough experiences of the tent season, we are of good courage in the Lord. We praise Him for His goodness to us, and for His wonderful works to the children of men.

C. F. McVagh, W. F. Schwartz.

Wilkesbarre and Wyoming.—August 31 I met with the Sabbath-school and church at Wilkesbarre. The Lord is blessing the work here in many ways. The coming of Brother Bristol and his wife will be a comfort to the church at this place, and will give them much encouragement.

In company with Brother Warnick, I visited the Wyoming church, where quarterly meeting was held. The members there all expressed a bright hope in the glorious message. W. F. Schwartz.

Brother B. A. Wolcott will conduct the church school at Williamsport this winter. This will be his second year with this school.
