A CHURCH of twenty-one members has been organized at Senjen, Minn. Brethren E. M. Chapman and George L. Budd have been laboring there.

FOUR adults recently took their stand for the Sabbath of the Lord through the tent-meetings held at Cincinnati, Ohio, by Brethren M. C. Kirkendall and C. A. Pedicord.

AT the recent quarterly-meeting of the church at Alexandria, Minn., four members were added to the church. Two were baptized by Brother W. W. Ruble, and two had been baptized a short time before.

JUNE 17, at La Grange, Ohio, eleven candidates were baptized by Brother H. H. Burkholder, president of the conference. There were four others to be baptized at a later date. These were all members of the church school.

THE members of the Maritzburg church (Natal, Africa) are rejoicing over the completion of a new church building. We congratulate them upon the success of this enterprise, and trust that this building will prove to be a temple of truth in the capital city of Natal.

THE recent camp-meeting at Woonsocket, S. D., was a marked success, being well attended by people of the town. The visible harvest was the baptism of sixty-eight converts, and four others were added to the local company. The attendance of our own people numbered about five hundred.

IN reporting labor in the Southeast District of Kansas to the Worker, Brother D. H. Oberholzer notes the addition of five members to the church at Altoona and "several" to the church at Humboldt. At Mineral a Sabbath-school of twenty-four members has been organized. Most of these results were under the labors of Brother J. W. Lair.

THE New York Indicator of July 12 says: "Two young men from Utica came up to Rome night after the Sabbath, searching for Bible truth and light. They had obtained a copy or two of the SIGNS, and had thus had their attention called to the Sabbath truth. We gave them further reading matter, and enjoyed a short visit with them, which they greatly appreciated. One of the young men was the janitor in the Methodist church, and while they were having some sort of a church festival, he and his friend came up here, supposing to meet with the church in its evening services."

WE are again called upon to record the death of a faithful laborer in the cause of Christ. Brother Daniel T. Bourdeau, a native of Bourdeauville, Vt., died at the home of his daughter, Dr. Patience S. Bourdeau, in Grand Rapids, Mich., June 30. He had attained the age of 69 years, 6 months, and 2 days, having been a minister of the Gospel about fifty years. His first ordination was at the hands of his Baptist brethren. He was baptized at the age of eleven years, and educated in a Baptist seminary at Grand Line, Canada. He had been a minister of the Seventh-day Adventist denomination about forty-seven years. In 1868, in company with Brother John Norton Loughborough, he came by way of Panama to California to introduce the Adventist faith on the Pacific Coast. His ministrations have extended from ocean to ocean in the United States, together with extended service in Canada. During his ministerial career he was twice sent to Europe, and labored in France, Switzerland, Corsica, Alsace-Lorraine, and Italy. Besides the daughter mentioned above, he leaves a wife, and son, Augustin J. S. Bourdeau, now missionary secretary of California-Nevada Conference. Deceased was interred in the Battle Creek (Mich.) Cemetery.
