FIELD NOTES.

By Editor

UNION COLLEGE, College View, Neb., was opened on the 13th inst.

ELDER G. F. WATSON reports an addition of seven to the church at West Union, Iowa.

THE Sun, of Denver, Colo., gives liberal reports of proceedings at the camp meeting held there August 30 to September 10.

BROTHER H. K. NELLIS and others report an attendance of 500 to 800 at tent meetings held at Moberly, Randolph County, Mo.

IN connection with the tent work at Olean, N. Y., Brethren S. Thurston and W. D. Emery report that ten have decided to obey the commandments of God.

BRETHREN H. V. ADAMS AND BURT FULLMER report the baptism of seven candidates and the organization of a Sabbath school of twenty members at Corning, Iowa.

EIGHT persons, seven of them heads of families, were recently baptized by Elder G. K. Owen, at Paradise, Butte County, Cal. When last heard from a church organization was in contemplation, as others were expected to come out on the Lord's side.

THE tent meetings in St. Johns, N. B., conducted by Elders R. S. Webber and F. I. Richardson, are bearing fruit. The last report says "fourteen have embraced the truth, and the interest is steadily increasing."

THE brethren of Lansing, Mich., have secured a commodious hall in a convenient locality, and are greatly encouraged at being able to carry on regular services where the public can attend. Elder L. G. Moore is located there with his family.

AMONG those who accepted the Seventh-day Adventist faith in Prattville, Mich., were the trustees of the Dunkard Church. They have now tendered the free use of the church to our brethren for Sabbath school and meeting purposes. Elder R. C. Horton had been holding tent meetings there.

IT was stated in this column in the Signs of August 21 that the Rev. Mr. Willard, of the Presbyterian Mission in Alaska, had accepted the Sabbath. We learn that this is not so, and regret that the statement was made. It was based on a misunderstanding by us, and we hasten to correct the mistake.

IN addition to the "Tahiti Items" sent by Brother Chapman, we have this from Sister Read: "Some natives came from Tubuai and told us that there was an interest awakened there by the native sister and her daughter who went from here, taking some literature with them. And now they want my husband and Brother Dean to visit them."

THE deep interest in the tent meetings at Johnstown, Pa., previously reported, still continues. The efforts of certain ministers to bring the work to naught has apparently worked for the good of our cause. A German Baptist minister was imported from Covington, Ohio, who was supposed to have some overwhelming arguments against the truth, but they proved to be simply some rusty armament that had proved useless in the hands of others, and were of little or no effect when reproduced.
