FIELD NOTES.

By Editor

ELDER HARRISON GRANT, of Minneapolis, Minnesota, has taken up his abode in College View, Nebraska.

J. L. WILSON, 231 Pandora Street, Victoria, B. C., calls for clean copies of the SIGNS, Review, Sentinel, and Instructor for missionary purposes. Send postpaid.

ELDER J. H. MORRISON, formerly of Iowa Conference but recently connected with the Rural Health Retreat at St. Helena, Cal., will shortly remove his family to the latter place.

MRS. M. J. BAHLER, St. Charles Hotel, El Paso, Texas, would be glad to receive unsoiled copies of the Youth's Instructor and Our Little Friend to use in the Chinese mission school of that city. She says: "Our school is prospering. We now have twenty names enrolled."

A MAN who is a Buddhist writes from India to Brother Carnahan, of Walla Walla, Wash., that he very much enjoys reading the literature sent to him, and that his son wants to be a follower of Christ, and to propagate the Christian religion through the empire of Japan. This man has recently translated some of Dr. Kellogg's health science leaflets into his native tongue, and about 3,000,000 copies are to be printed and circulated.

THE California delegation and visitors to the General Conference at Battle Creek, Mich., left Oakland on the 2d inst., in a special car, by the Santa Fe route. Following is the list of names: M. C. Wilcox, wife, and two children, N. C. McClure, wife, and child, J. H. Durland, C. H. Jones, wife, and child, N. N. Lunt and wife, Wm. Saunders, Miss Hattie Saunders, S. C. Stickney, W. G. Buckner, Mrs. Nettie Reynolds and child, and Miss Phebe Chapman. It was expected that Elder H. A. St. John would join the party at Barstow.

OUR little contemporary, the Reaper, of College Place, Wash., has the following from a secretary of the Y. M. C. A. in Palestine: "I must in my own name and that of the members thank you for your kindness in sending the SIGNS OF THE TIMES and Good Health. And secondly, to tell you that on looking them through I have come to the conclusion that they would be of immense value to our young men were they to come regularly for our reading room. Many of the members who speak Arabic also know English, and they would also get the benefit."

THE work in Oklahoma Territory goes on encouragingly. The latest report stated that there were seven organized churches, with 123 members. Besides these there were some unorganized companies, which would swell the total number to over two hundred. Elder R. H. Brock writes as follows to the Review: "We have eight good canvassers now, devoting almost all their time to the work. They are having excellent success. More than one of the canvassers has told me that he has taken orders of individuals who could not refrain from tears, saying, 'That is the very book I have been wanting.' The canvassers are opening the way for others soon to follow."

THE College View (Neb.) Enterprise informs us that Elder A. T. Jones paid a flying visit to that place on Friday, the 20th ult., and remained until Sunday night, speaking in the chapel of Union College five times. Of the probabilities of a repeal by Congress of its World's Fair Sunday-closing Act, he said: "The only step Congress could take would be a backward one, to undo its wrong work. That it will not do. We have, therefore, no more to do before congressional committees, no more petitions to Congress. In the past our work has been to delay Congress in doing this work; we had no expectation of ultimately preventing it. There is no course now but to warn the people against what has been done."
