FOUR or five have lately taken their stand for the truth at El Paso, Texas, and others are interested.

THE result of a tent effort held last summer at Lake View, Ohio, is the organization of a church of ten members.

TWENTY-SIX were buried with Christ in baptism in the Wisconsin River at the conclusion of the camp-meeting there.

AS a result of a series of meetings held at Poplar Bluff, Missouri, six persons have been added to the church at that place.

A CHURCH has recently been organized at Reed City, Michigan, taking in the members of the Chase and Baldwin churches.

A LITTLE item comes from Shanghai, China, from Sister Roberts, formerly of this office, saying, "You will be interested to know that Brother Harlow was recently at Brother Bach's station, Bakhoi, and organized a church of forty-one members." This is the place where Brother Bach stayed so bravely through the terrible time of the plague last summer. Everything indicates that it is a most promising field.

Uncle Ben's Cobblestones. Familiar talks with boys and girls about the common articles of everyday use, such as air, water, sunshine, fire, smoke, glass, coal, salt, paper, matches, etc.

Uncle Ben has a very pleasing way of telling about the origin and use of these various things. There is a ray of sunshine streaming throughout the book, and yet it does not touch the fickle so prevalent in books for children.

The purpose of the book, aside from the useful information given, seems to be soul-culture, for we observe on every page a moral fragrance that will impress young minds in the right way. Uncle Ben tells about more than one hundred different things in all, and intersperses with happy thoughts that bring good cheer to young and old. 221 pages, price, $1.00. Address this office.
