FIELD NOTES.

By Editor

THE church at Grandville, Mich., are erecting a new house of worship, which they expect soon to dedicate.
OUR periodicals of date 1893 will be used in missionary work if sent postpaid to Mrs. C. M. Davis, E. 325 Indiana Avenue, Spokane, Wash.
ABOUT 150 campers composed the recent local camp meeting at Cedar Falls, Iowa. Good local results are expected, as it is said "the outside interest was remarkable." Eleven were baptized.
THE Review states that Battle Creek College opened September 13 with an attendance of 350. Additional daily arrivals were numerous, and the prospect good for a full school the coming year.
BROTHER R. J. WHITE recently preached to the prisoners at Waupun, Wis., having an audience, including visitors, of about 600. He reports good attention and a profitable social meeting after the discourse.
OF the tent meetings held at Osage, Iowa, Brethren F. A. Washburn and B. E. Nicola report to the Bulletin that "seven have decided to keep all the commandments of God, and there seems to be a good prospect for more."
WE learn from the Enterprise that at College View, Neb., on the 9th ult., nineteen candidates were baptized. The same paper stated that Brother A. R. Henry had arrived there, and would immediately start work on the new church building.
A LETTER to this office from Brother C. N. Martin, who is laboring in Miles City, Custer County, Mont., says: "Interest in the tent meetings holds good; fifteen adults have decided to keep the Sabbath, and I hope soon to send an order for a club of SIGNS."
THE librarian of the tract society at Seattle, Wash., writes to the brethren and sisters in this wise: "Please do not let the papers go to waste. Such as you do not use yourselves just send to No. 11 Thomas Street, Seattle, to be used in ship missionary work and otherwise."
ELDER D. C. BABCOCK, president of West Virginia Conference, writes: "The work is very encouraging throughout the Conference. We cannot meet one call in ten to hold meetings." Brother Babcock's present address is Newark, Wirt County, W. Va., where our preparatory school is located.
THE recent camp meeting in the suburbs of Nashville, Tenn., was composed of about 130 campers. Elders J. N. Loughborough and R. M. Kilgore, of the General Conference Committee, were present, as also Elder A. O. Tait, of the Religious Liberty Association. Sixteen persons were baptized, and three others were accepted to be baptized on returning to their homes.
ELDER J. N. LOUGHBOROUGH has been re-elected President of Illinois Conference; Vice President, E. A. Merrell; Secretary and Treasurer, M. H. Loughborough. As we look over the list of laborers in Illinois we see quite a number that were once familiar on the Pacific Coast. The changes from place to place indicate a readiness to be sent anywhere.
PROFESSOR E. A. SUTHERLAND, of Walla Walla College, writes under date of September 14: "Our school opened the 6th inst. with eighty-eight students the first day, and an increasing attendance, until now we have about 100. The prospects are good for a large attendance, as many of the young men are out in the harvest fields. The Lord has been good to us in sending so many students when times are so hard. An old institution which has been running twenty years opened with less than sixty, and yet they were elated, as they consider it a finer prospect than they have ever had before. Surely we ought to take courage and rejoice."
