By Editor

THE brethren at Tagola, O. T., are building a new house of worship.
THE church at Houston, Texas, has recently been enlarged by eight new members.
THE Southern Union Conference will be held at Keene, Texas, February 24 to March 2.
BROTHER M. MACKINTOSH reports six recent converts to the faith in San Louis Valley, Col.
THREE converts are reported at Bushnell, Mich., as a result of labors by Brother W. C. Heber.
DURING the past quarter the church at Elkhorn, Iowa, reports the addition of nine new members.
OPENING services were held in the new house of worship in Cleveland, Ohio, beginning the 22d inst. and closing the 25th.
A RECENT series of tent-meetings at Gas City, Ind., resulted in ten converts to the faith and a mission Sabbath-school.
FROM Echoes from the Field we learn that Brother M. A. Altman, who went to England from Colorado, has gone on to South Africa.
FIVE persons have begun the observance of the Lord's Sabbath, in connection with meetings held at Marathon, Iowa, by Brethren W. J. Johnson and C. W. Hollingsworth.
NINE candidates were baptized at Doxie, O. T., December 22, by Brother A. E. Field. Four others are keeping the Sabbath. This is the fruit of meetings held by Brother Wm. Braley.
THE message we are proclaiming to the world is represented in the Transcausus, near the Persian line, by Dr. V. Pampaian and his wife and Brother C. Pampaian, a nurse. They are engaged in medical missionary work.
AT the close of the week of prayer two adults were baptized at Paul's Valley, I. T., by Brother S. P. Adams, and the next week two youths followed their example. The brethren are planning to build a new house of worship.
A NEW church building was dedicated at Sanger, Texas, December 26, by Brother N. P. Nelson, president of the Southwestern Union Conference, and Brother Lorenz. The report in the Record says the church was packed to its utmost capacity by people residing in the neighborhood.
SAYS the Missionary Worker of London: "The Balkan Mission is composed of Rumania, Bulgaria, Servia, and Montenegro. Tho we have done no work in Servia and Montenegro, we have an organized church in Bucharest, the capital of Rumania. We also have churches among the colonists on the Black Sea."
THE West Michigan Herald says that "in compliance with the appeal made by the Battle Creek church, the Conference Committee has assigned Elder M. B. Miller to the pastorate of that church for the year 1904. The committee also voted to retain Elder Henry Nicola in the services of the Battle Creek church for the following year."
ON the 16th inst. two candidates were baptized by Brother G. W. Rine, and added to the church in Alameda, Cal. On the same day seven were baptized in the Oakland church by Brother J. D. Rice, and added to the church at Berkeley. On the previous Wednesday evening, three were baptized in the Laguna Street church, San Francisco, by Brother B. F. Richards.
IN the Workers' Bulletin, Brother F. M. Corbaley reports that Rev. S. H. Noel, and wife, son, and two daughters have just united with the church at Davenport, Iowa. They come from the Presbyterian Church, of which Brother Noel has been a successful minister for nearly eighteen years. These, with one other candidate, were baptized on the 3d inst., the Christian church being used for the occasion. The entire family are preparing for active work in the cause, Brother Noel being elected elder of the Davenport church.
A PRESBYTERIAN lady writes this interesting letter to Brother W. C. McCuais: "I have been receiving sample copies of the Indiana Reporter, and enclose 25 cents to pay as you see proper. I am a Presbyterian; nevertheless I have long believed in the near advent of the Lord. For several years I have taken the Review and Herald, SIGNS OF THE TIMES, Sentinel of Christian Liberty, and the Southern Watchman since it began; and I mail every paper regularly, after reading it myself." There are many others who might profit by this example, besides doing much good missionary work.
A FORMER laborer in Colorado, Brother Oscar Einarson, writes to Echoes from the Field from Bergen, Norway: "For some time, here in my native city, I have been busy with the work in the Young Peoples' Society. We are now taking a club of fifty of the Gospel Messenger, and the young people are doing well selling them, and will soon increase their club. On account of the great strike here, which lasted six months, times are very dull, but I have been canvassing for some of our tracts and the Lord is blessing me in the work, and the truth is being sown which will sometime bear fruit. I am also giving Bible-readings, and one of my readers, a young man about twenty-five years old, was recently baptized."
IN the Canadian Union Messenger we find the following report from Brother G. B. Thompson, president of Ontario Conference: "Sabbath and Sunday, December 5 and 6, in company with Elder Spear, I visited the two churches of Sabbath-keepers in the Indian Reserve, near Brantford. This was my first visit to these churches, and I enjoyed it very much. Two substantial churches have been erected, which stand as memorials for the truth, and as much earnest zeal and love is manifested by the brethren and sisters here as among any other nationality. If they maintain the unity of the Spirit, God will continue to bless them, and add others to their numbers. They are planning to open a church school which is very much needed, and will prove a great blessing if successfully carried on. May the Lord richly bless His people here is my prayer. Several subscriptions for the Review and Messenger were taken."
