THE believers at Spokane, Washington, have just erected a new house of worship; and those living at Albany, Oregon, also dedicated their new meeting-house on April 23.

OUR work in Africa is advancing most encouragingly. The college at Claremont has about as large an enrolment right at the beginning of the year as it had at the close last year. At the Solusi Mission twenty-five were recently baptized; and in outlying districts near this mission a number of others are reported to have accepted the faith, among the number being the native commissioner. The workers connected with the Maranatha Mission have baptized thirty-three at Grahamstown. In the Basutoland Mission six, including one of the leading chiefs, have taken their stand with those who are proclaiming the great Advent Message. This chief is very anxious to have a school established among his people, and offers to donate an abundance of land for this purpose. In addition to the above, seven have been added to the Salt River church.
