TWO PERSONS, a mother and a grown daughter, have accepted the truth at Birmingham, Ala., thru the labors of Brother and Sister C. C. Webster.
FOLLOWING a stirring sermon by Prof. Frederick Griggs at South Lancaster, Mass., recently, nine students of the academy were buried with their Lord in baptism.
EIGHT besides children are keeping the Sabbath at Alazan, Texas, where a Sabbath-school of nineteen members has been organized. Brother J. I. Taylor gives the report.
BROTHER CHAS. F. ULRICH's labors in East Wakefield, N. H., have resulted in bringing a man and his wife into the truth. A Sabbath-school of eleven members has been organized.
THE people of India are hearing the truth. Six are keeping the Sabbath in Colombo, Ceylon, having been taught the truth by Brother Owen. The interest is good in many other places.
AT the close of a tent-meeting at Pana, Ill., Brother J. B. Locken organized a Sabbath-school of fourteen members, which has increased to thirty-one. A number have accepted the truth.
EASTERN TIDINGS, a little paper published in Calcutta, tells of the baptism of four at Simultala by Brother W. W. Miller. These are Santals and have been taught the truth by Brother W. A. Barlow.
AN eight-page paper has been started in the Tahitian language. It is called Te Maramarama, meaning "The Light," and gives articles on present truth, besides the Sabbath-school lesson for the natives.
BROTHER C. J. KUNKEL writes in the Northern Union Reaper: "Our tent effort in Winnipeg has been an experience long to be remembered. The Lord has blessed us with the fruit of ten souls who rejoice in the present truth."
BROTHER G. W. CAVINESS, after several years of labor in Mexico City, is beginning to see the fruits of his efforts. At the close of their conference just held in that city, seven were baptized by Brother Caviness, several of them converts from Catholicism.
ONE man converted and others much interested, is the result of placing our papers in a mail-box on a public road. A neat sign was placed on the box, "Religious Literature—Free," and soon the brethren had to call on others to help supply papers to fill it.
RELIGIOUS liberty is a live issue in New York. Brother and Sister John S. Wightman have conducted a series of meetings along these lines at Elmira, N. Y., and early in January another series of lectures was begun in the city hall, Watertown, granted to them free, heated and lighted.
WORD comes that the main building of the Bethel Academy, at Bethel, Wis., was burned January 1, with a loss of $13,000. There was an insurance of $4,500. No lives were lost and practically everything was saved from the building. The school work will continue. Our friends there have our sympathy.
