FIELD NOTES.

By Editor

ELDER W. B. WHITE recently organized a church of fourteen members at Grand Island, Nebraska.

THE permanent address of Elder R. S. Donnell, president of Upper Columbia Conference, is College Place, Wash.

BATTLE CREEK (Mich.) COLLEGE has now an attendance of 550 students, and Union College, at Lincoln, Nebraska, has over 400 students.

BROTHER GEORGE W. HOWARD reports four converts to the faith at Mariaville, Hancock County, Maine, and his meetings were continuing with good interest.

SISTER DELLE MAY, Cathay, Mariposa County, Cal., writes: "I would be very glad to have some more of our papers for missionary work, with many thanks for past favors."

BROTHER WM. HUTCHINSON is conducting a series of meetings at Belleville, West Virginia, and his wife has commenced Bible work in Parkersburg. He speaks very encouragingly of the new primary school now being conducted at Newark by Seventh-day Adventists.

CAPTAIN C. ELDRIDGE, who has been in California for a few weeks past in the interest of the Pitcairn's second voyage, started for his home in Battle Creek, Mich., on the 30th ult.

THE brethren of the California Conference are again reminded that canvassers' institutes will be held, in Oakland, December 15 to 27, and in Los Angeles, December 29 to January 8.

THE Review and Herald Publishing Company, of Battle Creek, Mich., has shipped a car load of bound books to the Pacific Coast, to be taken as part of the outfit for the missionary ship Pitcairn.

A LETTER from Whim, Ulverson, British Guiana, to the International Tract Society, reports a school of fourteen members. Also the fact that our papers and tracts are being used to good advantage in attracting attention to the truth.

THE Youth's Instructor, a handsome illustrated paper, published at Battle Creek, Mich., and the best of its class, will enter upon a new volume the first of the new year. Now is the time to subscribe. Eight pages; seventy-five cents a year.

THE following missionaries have been chosen to accompany the Pitcairn on her next voyage to the South Sea Islands: Elder B. J. Cady and wife, of Wisconsin; Elder J. M. Cole and wife, of Washington; Dr. M. G. Kellogg, and Brother E. C. Chapman and wife, of California; Brother J. R. McCoy, of Pitcairn Island, and Sister Andre, of Ohio.

AN encouraging open-air meeting was held in this city the evening after Sabbath, 3d inst. Elders J. H. Durland and M. C. Wilcox delivered short addresses before a large concourse of people attracted together by the singing of some of our stirring songs which refer to the second advent of our Lord. Good order prevailed, and many heard words of truth entirely new to them.

ORDERS for the General Conference Bulletin should be addressed to Elder A. O. Tait, Battle Creek, Mich. The Bulletin will be issued daily during the institute which precedes the Conference, as well as during the Conference—about six weeks in all—and will be furnished for fifty cents. The full file will make an important volume. Orders should be forwarded at as early a date as possible.

"MOTHERS' MEETINGS AND THEIR IMPORTANCE" is the title of a little tractlet which has been prepared by Mrs. Dr. Maxson, on this important subject. It gives instructions on how to awaken an interest, how to conduct meetings, and also tells other things which one wishing to engage in work of this kind ought to know. Mothers among us who are interested in their children's welfare would do well to write for one of these leaflets. It would be well to inclose a stamp. Address Mrs. H. S. Maxson, M. D., Crystal Springs, St. Helena, Cal.

ELDER J. D. RICE, of Ogden, Utah, and Brother J. H. Bahler, of El Paso, Texas, both report interesting progress in labor for the Chinese, in connection with their other work. There are many individuals, even among those whose occupation is not directly in the line of religious work, who might get at least one Chinaman or other foreigner interested to learn to read English, and with it weave in the truth. Brother and Sister Rice use nothing but the Bible in teaching them to read, the object being to get them interested in that particular book.
