IN the Welcome Visitor, Brother F. E. Gibson mentions the organization of a church of thirteen members at Powell, Ohio, December 9. This is the result of a series of tent-meetings.
A SERIES of meetings has been inaugurated at Yuma, A. T., by Brethren W. C. F. Ward and J. E. Bond. Brother Ward has recently gone to the Arizona field from Western Washington Conference.
THE Wisconsin Reporter says: "Most excellent word comes to us from Fish Creek, where Brother H. W. Reed is holding meetings. Seven were recently baptized, and sixteen united with the church."
THE Swedish brethren of Northern Illinois Conference, at last report, had taken 1,600 of the special Sion's Vaktare, and the Danish-Norwegian brethren had circulated 2,600 copies of their Evangeliets Sendebud.
A GOOD interest at Kanawha Station, W. Va., is reported by Brother B. F. Purdham. Five candidates were baptized December 16, and six were added to the church. The week-of-prayer offering was double that of last year.
NOVEMBER 7, Brother G. W. Casebeer and wife and Brother F. L. Perry and family arrived at Guayaquil, Ecuador, the latter family going on to Peru. Brother Casebeer soon began meetings in Guayaquil, with Brother Thos. H. Davis as interpreter.

FROM the Pacific Union Recorder we learn that Brother E. H. Gates has gone to the Philippines to arrange for opening work in that field. Brother R. A. Caldwell, a canvasser who last year introduced some of our larger works in Singapore, is now canvassing in the Philippines. He finds that many of the rising generation read and speak the English language. Brother Gates is expecting to go to Singapore to assist Brother G. F. Jones for a while in securing a firm foothold for the truth.
THE publishers of the Caribbean Watchman are making an appeal for means to purchase a press of their own. They have a small outfit now, but have to hire the presswork on the Watchman. With a new cylinder press they can do all their own work, besides some custom work. Those who feel disposed to donate or loan to this worthy cause can forward amount to S. A. Wellman, Port-of-Spain, Trinidad, W. I.
FROM St. George, Grenada, B. W. I., Brother W. A. Sweany writes that after a long illness he is in the work again, and notes that "at least a score of adults will soon go forward in baptism, besides a number of children." He expresses appreciation of our "magnificent Special," and adds: "The SIGNS is always good, but these are the best yet. Surely the results of this effort will be speedily manifest in a harvest of souls, for the message they contain is irresistible. I used to sell hundreds of the SIGNS before I left the States, and these Specials make me long to handle it again."
THE Boulder, Colo., Sanitarium corporation has been re-incorporated under the name of the Colorado Medical Missionary Association. This step was taken that the institution might be conducted as a strictly denominational enterprise. A board of directors, to serve for four years, from December 7, was elected as follows: Dr. H. F. Rand, Francis M. Wilcox, George F. Watson, Edward T. Russell, Dr. Ida S. Herr, James G. Weller, Dr. Kate Lindsay, Charles L. Burlingame, Watson Zeigler. Dr. Rand was chosen president; G. F. Watson, vice-president; F. M. Wilcox, secretary and treasurer. The past year has been the most successful in the history of the sanitarium. Brother J. L. Shaw and wife, of the India Mission, are at present stopping at the sanitarium, and add much to the spiritual interest. A recent visit of Brother W. A. Spicer, secretary of the General Conference, was a source of much encouragement, serving to bring the institution into closer relation to the general cause, and the workers into a greater sympathy with the work in other lands.
