FIELD NOTES.

ELDER A. P. HEACOCK is holding tent meetings at Gurley, Alabama, and reports encouragingly of the prospect.

ELDER WM. INGS reports a very encouraging work in Reno, Nevada, to the great good of the church in that place.

CLEAN copies of the Review, Signs and American Sentinel will be used in missionary work if sent postpaid to Larzell Bernard, Salem, Oregon.

ONE of the features of the recent camp meeting near Portage, Wisconsin, was the baptism of fifteen persons one evening in Silver Lake by torchlight.

THERE are now three tents in the Illinois field, one at Rock Island, one at Rockford City, and one at Enfield, and one in the southeastern part of the State.

THREE sisters were in New York two weeks ago, en route to foreign fields. Sister E. Hiva Starr goes to South Africa, and Sisters Jennie Owen and Mattie Sharp to London.

AT the recent session of the Iowa Conference the following officers were elected for the coming year: President, E. G. Olsen; Secretary, C. W. Smouse; Treasurer, C. F. Stevens; Conference Committee, E. G. Olsen, Mathew Larson, C. A. Washburn, Jacob Shively, C. M. Gardner.

THE Southern Review says the work on the school building at Graysville, Tennessee, is progressing finely. The design is to have it ready for occupancy at the beginning of the next school term.

BRETHREN J. W. COLLIE and C. P. Whitford report an unusual interest in the tent meetings at Oakland, Florida. It is a small village, but nearly all the people attend, excepting only a few representative Presbyterians.

PROFESSOR F. S. HAFFORD, of Healdsburg College, is spending his summer vacation in advocating health and temperance in connection with educational interests. In Red Bluff and Woodland he succeeded in interesting the religious people of other denominations, and was invited to occupy their pulpits.

FROM the Ohio State meeting recently held at Yellow Springs, five tent companies went out to engage in the work. At this meeting several of our brethren were entertained by citizens not of our faith, and Elder Lindsey was invited to speak both in the Christian Church and in one of the M. E. Churches.

ELDER C. H. KESLAKE reports the baptism of seven candidates at Findlay, Ohio, and eight at Toledo. He also reports that a sister who had suffered a long time with a disabled hand, and was about to have it amputated, decided to take the disabled member to the Great Surgeon, and the prayer of faith was answered, so that she could go about her usual duties.

BROTHER E. C. CHAPMAN and wife, who went out as missionaries on the last voyage of the Pitcairn, have located permanently at Papeete, Tahiti, instead of going to the Fiji Islands, as formerly arranged. They join Elder Read and wife, and it is designed to do a publishing work in the Tahitian language. They have secured a good dwelling house, large enough to accommodate both families, at a mere nominal rental, thus showing that in every locality the Lord will provide. Paul did a great work in a "hired house" in Rome, although a prisoner.
