FIELD NOTES.

By Editor

NEAR Douglasville, Georgia, Elder W. A. McCutcheon reports an encouraging series of meetings in a schoolhouse.

A CANVASSERS' institute is being held in this city under the direction of Brother F. L. Mead, general canvassing agent.

MRS. LENA MOREHEAD, Maquoketa, Iowa, would like the address of Mrs. Martha Myers, who formerly lived at that place.

DELEGATES from the churches in Texas are to meet at Oak Hill, January 17, 1893, to consider the school interests of the State.

ELDER J. B. GOODRICH reports eight additions to the church at Blaine, Maine, on the 3d inst., six of whom were baptized.

ELDER N. W. KAUBLE reports a series of meetings in a schoolhouse near Fulton, South Dakota. Among the number who have accepted the light of the truth is a young minister of the Methodist denomination.

ELDER JOHN FULTON left California on the 14th inst. for Colorado Springs, in hopes that a change of climate might recuperate his failing health.

ELDER E. G. OLSEN reports to the Workers' Bulletin very interesting meetings in the northern and western parts of Iowa, and especially in Sioux City.

ELDER H. F. GRAF, who had for some months been laboring in Iowa, has gone to North Dakota to spend some time in the interest of the German work.

WHEN the Pitcairn sails again (probably the second week in January), she will carry to Pitcairn Island a sugar-cane mill and a fruit evaporator, which are donated by Brother C. W. Smouse, of Iowa.

INDIA has long been a prominent and interesting missionary field, having been a scene of labor by several leading denominational societies. The Seventh-day Adventists are now about to give special attention to that field, and the Sabbath school donations for the first six months of 1893 will be devoted to that work.

A YOUNG lady missionary who recently crossed the Atlantic became acquainted on the steamer with an Adventist brother and sister, and remained with them during her brief stay in London. Before leaving for India, she had become thoroughly convinced that the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord, and went on her way rejoicing.

THERE will be general rejoicing throughout the field to know that a great outpouring of the Spirit of God is being experienced in the college and publishing house at Battle Creek, Michigan. It is said to have been a spontaneous work, without any special ministerial effort to bring it about. God is no respecter of persons or places. His richest blessings are free for all who will humble themselves before him and hold out their cups in faith to receive them.

ELDERS GREER and DRUMMOND, who have been laboring among the churches of Texas, give, through the Reporter, a very encouraging report of an unusual awakening among the people. On the other hand, they also report that a "spirit of intensity pervades almost every branch of business or worldly enterprise, and this is especially true of the momentous evil—union of Church and State, which is being brought about so rapidly." This being the case, it is but fitting that God's people should be aroused to a spirit of intensity also.
