THE following new reports of progress we clip from the Review and Herald of March 9:—
Ohio: Springfield.—"The interest here is still good. Up to this time, nine have commenced the observance of the Lord's Sabbath, and five have united with the church, all heads of families but one. Others are deeply interested, for whom we have strong hopes. I find that the effects of our camp-meeting held here last fall are still felt throughout the city, and many are quite anxious that the next one should be held here. I believe much good would result from another camp-meeting at this place, if it could be held about six weeks earlier than the one last year. Persons of intelligence and influence are attending our meetings, and are deeply affected. The Lord gives good freedom in presenting his truth, for which we praise his name.
"GEO. W. ANGLEBARGER."
MISSOURI: Gunn City.—"In company with Brother Jones, I came to this place February 4. Began meetings Friday evening. This church numbers only twelve or fourteen; but they are in good working condition. Twenty-seven dollars was pledged to the tent and camp-meeting fund. Sunday morning Brother Jones left for Northern Missouri, while I remained to continue the meeting. A good portion of the time the roads were quite muddy, but the meetings were well attended. Two families, six in all, covenanted to keep the 'commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.' Closed last Sunday night with a crowded house.
"R. S. DONNELL."
ILLINOIS: Chicago.—"February 1 we started a Scandinavian mission house, or school, as a help to educate young men and women who have some gift, and a burden for the salvation of their fellow-men. Instructions are given in grammar, arithmetic, writing, Bible-readings, and the present truth. This takes up three to four hours a day, and the rest of the day is spent in canvassing, visiting, and holding Bible-readings. There are already ten of us in the family here and we have room for three or four more of such as have a good recommendation. The Lord is opening the way before us much more than we expected. We have just begun to hold Bible-readings, but not less than forty souls are reached by these efforts. We have sold several dollars' worth of books, and taken twenty-five subscriptions for our papers; and we hope for success in this work. Will the American friends remember the Scandinavian work here in their prayers? Our address is 390 W. Erie St., Chicago, Ill.
