By Editor

ELDER H. W. DECKER reports that eight adults have accepted the faith in meetings held at Mode, Shelby County, Illinois.

ELDER E. W. WHITNEY arrived in Oakland on the 24th inst. from Colorado. He will labor for a time in the California Conference.

LATE reports from the work in Southampton, England, where Elders Washburn and Hope are laboring, state that their Sunday audiences number over 500 persons.

THE Medical Mission Sabbath school in Chicago reports sixty pupils, whose ages range from 4 to 14, gathered entirely from the street and destitute houses in the vicinity of the mission.

ELDER S. N. HASKELL, president of California Conference, left this city on the 26th ult., for Battle Creek, Mich., to attend the spring meeting of the General Conference Committee and other boards.

ONE Sabbath during the recent institute held in London, twenty-five persons were baptized. The baptistry of the Baptist chapel was used for the occasion. A Methodist minister has united with our forces there.

AT the recent session of the Atlantic Conference Brethren C. P. Bollman (of the American Sentinel) and S. B. Horton were ordained to the gospel ministry. Brother U. P. Long was appointed general canvassing agent for the Conference.

BROTHER C. H. JONES, president of the Pacific Press Publishing Company, left Oakland on the 22d inst. for the East. His mission is to visit the branch offices at Kansas City and New York, and to attend the Spring Council of the denominational boards at Battle Creek, Mich.

THE systematic distribution of tracts in Springfield, Ill., has awakened considerable interest, and several ministers have been called upon by their flocks to meet the truths presented. Some of them refuse even to attempt the task of refuting the Sabbath enjoined by the commandment.

ELDER C. W. FLAIZ, of McGregor, Manitoba, sends a word of caution to the brethren, through the Review, to beware of an imposter named A. E. King, who claims to be a Seventh-day Adventist and sometimes poses as a minister. The description given is that he is a large man, perhaps 60 years of age, with gray hair and eyes.
