FIELD NOTES.

By Editor

ELDER A. A. JOHN reports a good interest at Winthrop, Iowa, with the conversion of eight adults and two children.
THE Hungarian language has been added to the list in which Seventh-day Adventist literature is published, making eighteen in all.
AN institute for the benefit of the canvassers of Michigan and the province of Ontario, Canada, is to be held at Battle Creek, Mich., commencing April 4.
THE brethren at Fairfield, Iowa, are rejoicing and praising God for the new house of worship, dedicated during the general meeting recently held in that place.
DR. J. H. KELLOGG, of Battle Creek, Mich., arrived in this city on the 8th inst., and immediately began active participation in the Christian Help Institute already in progress.
THE mission workers in Los Angeles have organized a mission Sabbath school, which is said to be doing a good work by gathering in thirty to forty children each Sabbath afternoon in an obscure part of the city.
A CANVASSERS' institute is now in progress at Minneapolis, Minn. It will close April 3, and two days afterward another institute will be commenced, for the special benefit of ministers, licentiates, and Bible workers.
ELDER S. N. HASKELL returned to this city on the 27th ult., from Walla Walla, Wash., and Portland, Oregon, where he had been in company with Elder J. H. Morrison, holding important meetings. Elder Morrison returned to his home in College View, Neb.
ELDER D. C. BABCOCK, president of the West Virginia Conference, says of the Conference school at Newark:"It meets all its expenses by the actual income. The demands made upon us for more room, and the providential providing of material with which to erect a new school building, have caused the board to prepare to erect a two-story building of 35x45 feet dimensions."
THE Union Record presents an encouraging forecast of the prospects for successful work in New York City. In several sections interest has been awakened by the canvassers. One quite successful brother urges a call for twenty canvassers and ten Bible workers to enter that field at once.
OF the prospects for the work on Trinidad Island, Brother C. D. Adamson, who has recently gone there with his family, reports a Sabbath school of nine members, and says: "The greater part of the people here, especially the upper class, are Roman Catholics. The Freethinkers have a society, and atheism and Universalism also flourish. There are about 80,000 Hindus, who are contract laborers. The Canadian Mission is doing a good work for them, and there are many among this people who are thirsting after the truth."
A BROTHER writes to the Union Record from Weston, Vt., in this strain: "I feel that I have got about through this world; I am so deaf that I can't hear what is said, and I have become too feeble to work." For his encouragement we will cite him to the case of a colored brother in this city. He is about 80 years of age, and is so blind that he cannot recognize persons by sight, and feels his way around with a stick. He is so deaf that he has to use an ear trumpet in order to hear a sermon. But he supports himself and gives liberally to the cause, and does it by selling our denominational periodicals, principally the Pacific Health Journal.
