By Editor

THE conversion of three persons at Roby, Texas, is reported by Brother T. W. Field.
FIVE converts are the visible result of labor at Kirwin, Kansas, by Brother T. Godfrey.
THREE persons have been added to our ranks at Talmage, Kansas, under the labors of Brother A. R. Ogden.
A WORKERS' district meeting at Kansas City, Kansas, is announced for the 15th inst., continuing till the 25th.
WISCONSIN CONFERENCE reports the addition of over two hundred members to its churches by baptism during the year 1899.
SEVEN members were added to the church at West Superior, Wis., December 23. Six of these were by baptism and one by letter.
THE addition of twelve members—seven by letter and five on profession of faith—to the church at Galena, Kansas, is reported by Brother D. H. Oberholtzer.
JANUARY 19 five candidates were baptized by Brother George A. Snyder at Morganhill, Cal., where Brother A. J. Morton had been laboring a short time previously.
AT Glens Falls, N. Y., Brother D. A. Ball reports that sixteen persons are keeping the Sabbath of the Lord, and there are hopes of a "good strong church" in that place.
DURING the week of prayer five names were added to the roll at Saranac Lake, N. Y., making thirteen for the month. Brother C. O. Taylor conducted the services.
WE learn from the Atlantic-Chesapeake News that on the night of December 26 the house of worship of the church in Washington, D. C., was almost entirely destroyed by fire.
IN connection with the week-of-prayer services at Hornellsville, N. Y., six persons united with the church, five being baptized. Brother J. W. Raymond conducted the services.
A WORKERS' institute is attracting attention at Keene, Texas, having been appointed for February 1-12. The annual meeting of the academy board takes place in this connection.
FROM Moose Lake, Minn., through the Worker, comes the report of Brother H. F. Phelps that five have been added to the church there as a partial result of two weeks' meetings.
A NEW house of worship was dedicated at Dell, Wis., January 7, where Brother W. S. Shreve was laboring. Brother Wm. Covert, president of the conference, was at the dedication.
A LETTER from Brother F. L. Mead, superintendent of our mission near Buluwayo, South Africa, to the Indicator, Rome, N. Y., reports all well and confident in the midst of war. The letter was dated October 31, and is supposed to have come out northward, via Salisbury, and thence to the east coast, as communication southward to Cape Town is cut off.
THE brethren in Manhattan, Kansas, have recently purchased a house of worship. Brother J. W. Covert writes to the Worker that the house is paid for, and interesting special meetings were being held.
SISTER LULU WIGHTMAN writes from New York, "I have left ten solid Sabbath-keepers at Gorham, five brethren and five sisters, with a Sabbath-school of fourteen members." She asks for SIGNS, saying, "I like to give out SIGNS at the close of my meetings, because I have found that they touch the heart."
THIS testimony from Brother E. A. Raymond, in the Indicator, concerning his labor in Mexico, N. Y., is to the point: "Having found that the people would not come to us, we have gone to them, and in this the SIGNS, delivered to one hundred subscribers weekly, has been a wonderful help. The results, tho perhaps not so quick to appear as when opportunity is had for a course of lectures, are none the less real, and at present some thirty homes are open for Bible readings."
THE following testimonial is from an article by Brother C. F. Adams, in the Workers' Bulletin, Iowa Conference organ:—
"The special issues of the SIGNS that are put out from time to time will furnish work for all. Every member of the family can have a part in this work. The importance of getting these publications into the hands of the people is apparent. These special numbers, especially the last one—the World's Harvest issue—are made up of such matter as is very acceptable to people generally. In this number most important truths are told in a very interesting manner. Look over the list of writers who have contributed to it, and read what they have written. Is not a thing that has been the object of so much careful thought worthy of your earnest efforts to get it into the hands of your friends and neighbors? It was prepared for this express purpose."
