The brethren at Wilkesbarre, Pa., the seat of the coal strike, are acting on this idea.

FROM Brother F. I. Richardson, of Kingston, Jamaica, we have a corrected report of our church membership in that island.

GOOD results of branch Sabbath-school and Sunday-school work are reported from the cities of Des Moines, Iowa, Lincoln, Neb., Kansas City, Mo., and St. Paul, Minn. The latter city has four branches, and nearly all the members of the regular school are in some way interested in the work. They are planning for still further extension. This indicates a live school.
BROTHER W. T. MILLMAN reports the baptism of four candidates at Midway, Mo., and seven at Rolla. Of the latter occasion he says in the Record: "The water was six miles from the place of meeting. When we reached the place, we found about 150 people gathered on the banks of the stream, and they besought us to give them some reasons of our faith, which we did for about forty-five minutes. The best of attention was given."
THE brethren in Missouri Conference are encouraged by the abundant crops in that State. Brother J. M. Rees, president of the conference, reports to the Worker as follows: On the 20th [of June] I came to St. Louis. As I crossed the great State of Missouri I could not help rejoicing as I saw the great contrast between now and one year ago. Then the earth was scorched with heat, vegetation was dried up, and everything blighted. But now the whole land is yielding her increase. It seemed that every foot of land is being cultivated. I never saw the wheat shocks stand so thickly on the ground. All other crops are coming in in proportion. This ought to be one of the best years for the Missouri Conference." Brother Rees is now conducting a series of tent-meetings in St. Louis.
