From the Field.

NEBRASKA, Hubbell.—Bro. Daniel Nettleton writes: "We closed our meetings at this place December 17. There is now a company of twenty-one keeping the Sabbath. A Sabbath-school of over forty members has been organized, and is furnished with Instructors, "Song Anchors," a good library, and record books. Since our last report, we have sold $18.90 worth of books, and obtained three subscribers for the Review.

We have learned one thing in these meetings which may be of interest to our ministering brethren: If we would see more fruit of our efforts, we must visit from house to house, and pray and labor with the people in their homes."

MINNESOTA.—Bro. S. Fulton reports that he organized a church of thirteen members at Stowe Valley. The tithing system was adopted, and they have a good Sabbath-school. At Alexandria a church of seven members was organized. Others are keeping the Sabbath and will probably soon unite with them.

Bro. L. Johnson reports the organization of a church of seven members at Herman, Grant Co.

INDIANA, Big Indian, December 18.—As the result of preaching the truth here, five adults are keeping the Sabbath.

There are now in Blue Grass and Big Indian eleven adults keeping the seventh-day Sabbath, and sustaining a reputation for Christian integrity and zeal. Besides these, are several earnest youths who are faithful keepers of God's commandments and the faith of Jesus. The above we hope soon to organize into a company that will meet at Big Indian. A. W. BARTLETT.

KANSAS.—Bro. P. L. Hoen writes that as the result of labor in Edwardsville, Wyandotte Co., ten signed the covenant, and a leader was appointed. They have regular Sabbath meetings and weekly prayer-meetings. A Sabbath-school of fourteen members was organized.

Bro. Woodruff reports the addition of five to the church at Howard's Mills, Missouri. Beside these, there are reports of single individuals accepting the truth, and the number of interested readers throughout the country is increasing. So the good work moves on.
