IN the Upper Columbia Conference there are five tents in the field, one being used in the German work.

THE first tent meeting of Seventh-day Adventists in Germany is held this present year, in the city of Schesnig.
THE San Pedro (California) Times gives liberal space to a report of a discourse by Professor Courter and notice of tent meetings being held in that place.
LATE copies of the Signs or Review would be thankfully received and used in missionary work if sent postpaid to Mrs. Nettie Miller, Park Place, Clackamas County, Oregon.
ELDER C. McREYNOLDS, president of the Kansas Conference, in reporting a round of special meetings at different points, notes the baptism of 175 in the State since the first of February.
THE Minnesota Worker informs us that Elder G. C. Tenney, recently from Australia, where he labored about five years, expects to remain in this country, and that his family will soon join him.
IN the church in this city, on the 28th ult., seven persons, four brethren and three sisters, were baptized by Elder M. C. Wilcox. One sister had come all the way from Honolulu for that very purpose.
ELDER G. W. ANGLEBARGER, who has been laboring at Cheyenne, Wyoming, notes the unusual circumstance that several soldiers from Fort Russell have been attending his meetings, and two are keeping the Sabbath of the Lord. Also that the commanding officer of the fort is anxious to have meetings held in the garrison.
BROTHER C. P. HOWELL, now at Battle Creek College, has been selected to go to the Bay Islands, Central America, to assist Elder Hutchins in the work there. Interest in the message is spreading to points on the mainland.
ELDER WM. COVERT writes: "I have lately held several meetings in West Charleston, Vermont. While there I baptized four, who became members of the church. In connection with Elder I. E. Kimball I began meetings in a tent in Ludlow, June 27."
THE Upper Columbia Tract Society gives the following report of labor for year ending May 1, 1893: Missionary visits, 1,456; letters written, 778; letters received, 339; periodicals distributed, 20,425; pages tracts sold and given away, 240,235; subscriptions obtained, 735.
IN behalf of the tract society in Topeka, Kansas, Sister N. E. Holaday returns thanks for papers sent in answer to a previous call through this department. They are still in need of late numbers of any of our periodicals for use in missionary work. Address 400½ Kansas Avenue.
BATTLE CREEK COLLEGE held its thirteenth annual commencement exercises in the Tabernacle in that city June 19. There were 27 graduates,—three graduated in the Classical Course, receiving the degree of Bachelor of Arts; five in the Scientific Course, degree of Bachelor of Science; seven in the Academic Course, and twelve in the English Course.
BRO. WM. HUTCHINSON is carrying on three series of meetings at once in the vicinity of Terra Alta, West Virginia. One is held in a Dunkard church and the others in schoolhouses. This plan of holding meetings has been adopted because of the difficulty on the part of farmers to attend meetings every evening. He reports a fair attendance at all the meetings.
AT Maynard's Mill, Mecosta County, Michigan, Elder I. H. Evans and Brother W. H. Falconer organized a church of ten members, June 3, and others were expected to join soon. The following week Brethren Falconer and Wellman organized a church and tract society of eleven members at Luce. Owing to floods several were kept away who expected to unite with this church.
IT was to be hoped that in the interests of decency, good order, and liberty, Tennessee would let that people, than whom none are more quiet, orderly, or better citizens, according to the testimony taken in her own courts, pursue their avocations undisturbing and undisturbed, but recent news informs us that another Sabbath keeper has been arrested, this time in Carroll County.
AT Gainesville, Georgia, where Elders R. S. Owen and W. A. McCutcheon have been holding tent meetings, eight additions to the faith are reported. There was also an interest among the colored people, who desired meetings especially for themselves, and a meeting was held in their church after the close of the evening meeting in the tent. A meeting was held by request in the jail, where there was an interested audience of twenty-four prisoners.
THE recently elected officers of the Minnesota Conference are as follows: President, N. W. Allee; Secretary, D. P. Curtis; Treasurer, C. N. Woodward. The tract society officers are: President, N. W.

The Sabbath School Association officers are: President, W. A. Alway; Vice President, E. Hilliard; Secretary and Treasurer, Alberta L. Little.
ELDER O. O. FARNSWORTH, who is laboring in Belfast, Ireland, reports great opposition to the work, and intense bitterness on the part of the ministers, who are making strong pleas for the strict enforcement of the Sunday laws. The fear of losing situations, and the difficulty of procuring employment in that country, deter many from practically walking out in the light of that which they admit to be the truth.
AT the recent session of the Pennsylvania Conference, held at Williamsport, the following officers were elected: President, J. N. Williams; Vice President, E. J. Hibbard; Secretary and Treasurer, W. M. Lee. State tract society officers were chosen as follows: President, E. J. Hibbard; Vice President, M. D. Matteson; Secretary and Treasurer, W. M. Lee; Corresponding Secretary, W. F. Schwartz; State Agent, A. S. Bowersox.
