A church-school building is to be erected at Ithaca, Mich., the means having been provided.
Work is about to be opened in Bombay, by Brother C. A. Hansen and wife, late of Michigan.
October 19, ten missionary nurses were graduated from our sanitarium training-school at Madison, Wis.
The South Dakota Worker notes the baptism of three students of the school at Elk Point, on the 14th ult.
A class of ten young ladies were recently graduated from the Nebraska Sanitarium Training School for Nurses.
Tent-meetings at Benton Harbor, Mich., closed on the 15th ult., with a visible fruitage of fifteen persons baptized.
Brother C. W. Olds desires his correspondents to note his change of address from 218 Broadway to 205 Bethesda Avenue, Waukesha, Wis.
A church of thirteen members was organized at Logansport, Ind., October 14. Services were conducted by Brethren W. J. Stone and B. Hagle.
As a result of the camp-meeting at Detroit, Minn., twelve persons were baptized, and fifteen more adherents are reported in connection with later tent meetings.
In connection with the recent camp-meeting at Rice Lake, Wis., sixteen converts were baptized. Brother B. L. Anderson was ordained to the Gospel ministry.
The brethren of Beath, Ind., are preparing to erect a house of worship between that place and Eaton. A site has been secured, and most of the lumber has been donated.
The branch sanitarium at Washington, D. C., has added to the medical force Dr. Patience Bourdeau-Sisco, who has been doing valuable service at Grand Rapids, Mich., the past three years.
Eastern Tidings, published at Calcutta, notes the beginning of the first tent effort by our people in India. Brethren H. Armstrong and G. K. Owen are conducting the work, and their location is Colombo, Ceylon.
The brethren at Woonsocket, S. D., have completed a new church building. Citizens not of our faith contributed $400, besides $250 toward expenses of the recent camp-meeting. In the past year eighteen persons have accepted the truth.
As a result of tent work near Sturgis, Mich., by Brethren W. C. Hebner and James Irving, a church of fourteen members was organized on the 14th ult. Brother A. G. Haughey, president of West Michigan Conference, conducted the service.
Writing from Memphis, Tenn., Brother H. C. Balsbaugh says that a brother and sister from Battle Creek, Mich., are making diligent effort to open treatment rooms in that city. They are trained nurses, and the church members are seconding the work.
That practise often preaches louder than precept, is shown in the following simple fact: "The banana plantation of one of our most faithful tithe-payers in Rarotonga is thriving so well that people stop to admire it as they pass. This is the second plantation in this island, belonging to faithful tithe-payers, that has caused the natives to wonder at its prosperity."
October 12 Brother E. W. Snyder and wife sailed from New York for Cuba, their new field of labor. They formerly labored in Argentine, South America, but returned to attend General Conference last spring, and have spent the summer in New Jersey. Surely Cuba is in need of the message that these faithful laborers bear to her people.
A note from Brother Walter Harper notes over three hundred dollars' worth of orders at Clifton, A. T. in a little over a week's time. The orders included a number for "Patriarch's and Prophets" and "Christ's Object Lessons." For the latter book Brother Harper states that in a small New Mexican town he took twelve orders in less than three hours.
The new house of worship of the 23d Street Church, Indianapolis, was dedicated October 8. An elaborate program was presented, and there was a good attendance. Of ministering brethren there were present, Brethren Allen Moon, president of Lake Union Conference; W. J. Stone, president of Indiana Conference; E. W. Farnsworth, W. D. Curtis, and W. A. Young.
From the Union Conference Record we take this significant paragraph, which is full of suggestion for these times: "In connection with the recent defeat of a faulty Educational Bill in Victoria, the member of Parliament that took the strongest position against the measure is a regular subscriber to the SIGNS, and others who spoke on the question, expressed not only the sentiment, but in some cases quoted the exact expressions found in "Rights of Man." This is but an illustration of the influence our literature is exerting, and shows the importance of getting it into the hands of our law-makers."
