AT Thermal City, North Carolina, five persons were recently baptized by Elder D. T. Shireman.

ELDER S. S. SHROCK reports a tour among German brethren in Oklahoma, and the addition of ten to our ranks.

BROTHER J. W. COLLIE is holding meetings at Oakland, Florida, where he is very kindly received. Elder Crisler, who was so brutally assaulted not long ago at Grand Island, expects to connect with Brother Collie as soon as he is physically able.

A SERIES of tent meetings was inaugurated in San Francisco on the evening of the 17th inst., by Elder H. A. St. John, R. S. Owen, and F. M. Wilcox.

ELDER J. O. Corliss has removed his family to Washington City, which for a time will be his field of labor. His address is 1240 Maryland Avenue, N. E. Washington, D. C.

BROTHER W. H. FALCONER reports sixteen additions to the faith as a result of meetings held at Maynard's Mills, Michigan. A church of twenty-five members was organized.

ELDER D. T. BORDEAU, who has been laboring among the French in the vicinity of McDonald, Pennsylvania, baptized fifteen on the fourth inst. Most of these were Roman Catholics but a short time ago.

THE new church building at Albuna, Ontario, the first in the province, was dedicated some three weeks ago. Elder A. T. Jones was present, together with Elders Burrill and Leland, and meetings were continued five days, with a number of additions to the church. Elders Burrill and Leland will remain in the province. Bible readers are now at work in Toronto, the capital.

AT a country place called Beulah, in Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana, Brother B. L. Dieffenbacher has organized a Sabbath school of twenty-two members. A peculiar circumstance is reported in connection with his work there. He was preaching in a schoolhouse, and on petition of the Methodist congregation in the vicinity the house was closed against him, on the ground that his company would burn it down. A short time afterward the house took fire during school hours and was burned.

THE Review of the 13th inst. has the following significant letter from Elder H. E. Robinson, president of Atlantic Conference: “I have just learned that three more of our people at Ford’s Store, Maryland, have been arrested and convicted for Sunday labor, and whose cases will come before the County Court on appeal, we suppose, in November, along with Brother Baker’s. One of these is a woman who was sewing in her own house. One of the brethren was arrested on complaint of his own father, and the chief witness was his brother.”
