THE recent labors of Brother V. B. Watts at Gentry, Ark., have resulted in nine adherents to the truth as presented.
FOUR weeks of labor at Texmo, O. T., by Brother J. R. Bagby, resulted in the addition of eight souls to the cause of truth.
A SUMMER normal school for church-school teachers will be held in Atchison, Kansas, beginning about the middle of June, and continuing eight weeks.
APRIL 16 four members were added to the church at Killbuck, Ohio, and Brother G. C. Quillin reports to the Visitor that several others were to be baptized at a later date.
A UNION young people’s convention is announced for May 31 to June 5, at College View, Neb. The announcement is made by the Central Union Conference Educational Committee.
AT the last quarterly meeting of the church in Little Rock, Ark., five members were added, making eight for the quarter. This was the result of quiet missionary work on the part of the church.
FOUR candidates were baptized and added to the church at Burlington, Iowa, on the 6th ult. The Baptist church was used for the occasion, the pastor assisting in the opening and closing exercises.
THE annual state camp-meeting and conference session of Northern California Conference will be held at Bushrod Park, Oakland, June 1-12. A workers’ meeting will be held during the preceding two weeks.
BROTHER E. W. FARNSWORTH and wife, who have held responsible positions in the Australian field for the past eight years, are now on the way to America. They will stop in the United States a while, but their ultimate destination is England.
THE New York Indicator notes that a Methodist lady and her daughter have commenced keeping the Sabbath, and have given up pork, tea, and coffee, from reading "Great Controversy." This work is a veritable power in the message now due to the world.
ONE of our lay sisters, who sold the Capital and Labor number, writes: "One lady, a teacher, told me the paper was just wonderful, and while she had made the Bible quite a study she had learned more Bible and historical facts from it than from anything she had ever read. Three different men told me that the paper was fine, it taught one so much." We have a few numbers left, and they are as good now as when sold.
UNDER the auspices of Central Union Conference, our work will be fairly represented at the St. Louis Exposition. Some very favorable concessions have been granted by the managers of the institution, and an able corps of workers will be on hand. There will be two exhibits, one of literature, and one of health foods. Besides this there is to be the privilege of selling or giving away goods, also certain privileges of the lecture hall, which are deemed quite liberal by the brethren who have the matter in hand.
WRITING to the Dakota Worker about his canvassing work in Ireland, Brother A. A. Carscallen says: "At first the customs of the peasantry here seemed very strange to me; but their simplicity and warm-heartedness soon won my admiration, and customs and ways were no longer thought of. God abundantly blessed my work among the country people, and opened their hearts to receive the truth given in the book ['Patriarchs and Prophets']. I worked the territory regularly and generally the people heard of me before I reached them. Sometimes, when riding out to my work in the morning, people would stop me on the road and ask if I was the young man that was selling books, and would want to know why I had not called at their place before. Many times when I called at a house and introduced myself as a Christian worker, I would receive the reply, 'O, we know who you are; you sold a book to Mr. —.'"
