THE church in St. Louis, Mo., is moving in the matter of building a new house of worship.

ON the 22d of October, at Jersey City, N. J., Elder E. E. Franke baptized seventeen souls in Newark Bay.
CHILDREN'S meetings in connection with the Sioux City, Iowa, Sabbath school have resulted in the baptism of five.
ELDER M. E. CORNELL, one of our pioneer ministers, died in Battle Creek, Mich., on the 2d inst., of internal hemorrhage.
IN connection with meetings held in Windham, Vt., Elder Wm. Covert reports five additions to the church and ten to the Sabbath school.
ELDER S. J. HERSUM has been assigned to Washington, D. C., to look after the interests of the cause, in place of Elder J. O. Corliss, now en route to Australia.
THE brethren at Grant's Pass, Oregon, are building a new house of worship, and at Ashland they are about to do likewise. So we learn from the Visitor, of Portland.
ON the 28th ult. a church of forty-four members was organized in Jersey City, N. J. Several others are keeping the Sabbath of the Lord who are expected soon to unite with the church.
THE difference between soliciting for the Lord's work and for worldly enterprises in dull times is thus expressed by a Missouri canvasser in the Record: "The very things that seem to hinder, God uses to advance his work. Hard times have driven most other agents from the field, but the hard times cry has no force before the Third Angel's Message."THE trial of Brother Price, of Church Hill, Queen Anne's County, Md., for laboring on Sunday, has been postponed till the April term of court. Four candidates were recently baptized there by Elder Hottel.
THE Bible Echo of Melbourne, Australia, notes the addition of eight members to the North Fitzroy church September 23, and the baptism of two others (students) at the same time who would unite with the Prahran church.
A CLASS in healthful cooking is being conducted in Portland, Oregon, by Sister J. Gotzian, formerly of this city, and an excellent attendance and interest are reported. This is a matter that should receive more general attention in all families.
IT has been decided to establish a branch of the Battle Creek (Mich.) Sanitarium at Boulder, Colo. Temporary buildings have been rented and are being arranged for the accommodation of boarders and invalids. So says the daily Camera, of that city.
A NEW meetinghouse was dedicated at Wilkeson, Wash., October 15, and during the two days' meeting five persons gave themselves to the Lord. Elder D. T. Fero conducted the services. Two weeks afterward three more were baptized and added to the church.
AT Saranac Junction, N. Y., Elder S. N. Cobb recently baptized three persons in Clear Lake, and others are expected soon to follow. A faithful sister who for years held out the banner truth in that community by herself, is now seeing the fruit of her godly example and fidelity to the faith.
ELDER C. W. FLAIZ reports a good work in the town of Hamiota, Manitoba. At the date of his letter (October 31) sixteen had accepted the faith, including the editor of a paper published there. The ministerial labors of Elder Flaiz had been preceded by a liberal distribution of the Signs of the Times.
ACCOMPANYING the article of Elder B. J. Cady, in another column, is a note which indicates that he is now "located" in Raiatea Island, and that the people are quite interested in the work in which he is engaged. He says: "I know of no better way to get the work started on these islands than to send some good Christian men and women to act as educators, and from what I have seen and hear, I think they can do as well financially here as in America."
ACCORDING to plans laid at the general meeting at Hamburg, Germany, Brother F. W. Spies went to Barmen with a company of canvassers to work with "Bible Readings." Brother R. G. Klingbeil was assigned to Holland, Brother Franchiger to Stuttgart, Brother Popoff to Bulgaria, Brother Benecke and wife to Hungary, and several new laborers to Russia. On account of these and other preparations Brother Spies writes to the Union Record that "we are expecting the Lord to do wonderful things for us in our field the coming year."
