Field Notes

A SABBATH-SCHOOL of twenty-one members, of whom fourteen are adults, has been organized at Herrin, Ill.

Six additions to the membership of the Groton, S. D., church were made at the time of the last quarterly meeting.

Five persons were baptized and added to the Keene, N. H., church July 8, and two others joined at the same time by letter.

At Rimini, a small mining camp in Montana, five persons have accepted the truth preached to them by Brethren W. H. Holden and S. H. Kime.

“THE Southern Illinois Conference, with its new tents, new seats, fine gasoline lamps, and excellent General Conference help, will put up a better-equipped camp-meeting this year than any preceding year.” So says the Southern Illinois Herald.

ELDER LEE S. WHEELER reports in the Atlantic Gleaner of July 26, from Boston, Mass.: “We have now completed another week of tent-meetings, and are much encouraged in the work. Quite a number have begun the observance of the Sabbath, and the interest seems to be growing.”

REPORTING from Urbana, Ill., Elders P. G. Stanley and M. G. Huffman say: “We are, at this writing, in the most critical time of our meeting. Souls are in the balance, deciding to obey God. Scores have expressed themselves by the uplifted hand that we have preached the truth to them. Already a goodly number have taken their stand to obey God and walk in the light that has been revealed to them.”

An item in the South Dakota Worker reads: “Elders Reiswig and Leer returned from Bowdle, Long Lake, and Sutley, where they have passed the time since camp-meeting. They report thirty-one baptized, and one new family of Sabbath-keepers at Hosmer. A donation of $236 in cash and pledges, seventeen acres of wheat, and seven acres of flax, was given to Washington and the foreign work.”

Vermont Conference

By F. M. DANA

The forty-third session of the Vermont Conference of Seventh-day Adventists will be held in connection with the camp-meeting at Windsor, Vt., August 17-27. The usual business of the conference will be transacted at this session, together with any other business that may properly be considered at this time.

It is important that all the churches send delegates; each church is entitled to one delegate for its organization, and one additional delegate for every fifteen members.

Usual accommodations at camp are expected to be offered. We solicit the co-operation of the brethren in the preparation of the camp, which will begin Monday morning, August 14. Pray for the success of our meetings. A very cordial invitation is extended to our New Hampshire brethren to unite in worship with us.

NOTICES AND APPOINTMENTS

By W. L. McNEELY

Alabama Conference and Camp-Meeting

The Alabama camp-meeting will be held in Mobile, August 11-20. The Alabama conference will be held at the same time, beginning August 14 and continuing until the business is finished.

W. L. McNEELY, President.

Current Mention

— A fire which began in the Humble oil fields, Texas, July 23, caused the loss of twelve lives and the destruction of property valued at $650,000.

— It is reported that Chile is about to begin the building of a new navy, starting with the construction of four ironclads of 12,000 tons each.

— The sultan of Turkey is vigorously endeavoring to probe the mystery of the identity of his late would-be murderers. He has offered a reward of £10,000 for their apprehension, and has caused the arrest of 1,000 suspects.

— Western crop reports tell of a great wheat harvest in Kansas, a claim of ninety bushels to the acre coming from Ford County, while many places report over fifty bushels to the acre. The heaviest yield and the finest quality of wheat is in western Kansas. In many places the wheat crop is worth several times the present value of the land.

— The city of Nijni Novgorod, central Russia, which is celebrated for the annual fairs held there, was the scene on July 23 of a terrible riot in which a hundred or more women and children were killed. The rioting appears from reports to have taken the form of an indiscriminate attack by the ruffianly element upon people of the respectable class.

— Yellow fever has gotten a firm hold on the city of New Orleans, but the authorities are taking vigorous measures to stamp out the disease. Sanitary measures are being rigidly enforced in all quarters, and a campaign for the extermination of the mosquito is being vigorously waged. Every cistern is required to be screened, and every body of stagnant water covered with oil. Up to July 30 there had been 256 cases reported, with fifty-four deaths.

— In the testimony taken at a divorce suit in New York City recently, an account was given of the practise of women residents of a fashionable section of Brooklyn, of meeting together at one another’s homes to drink and smoke cigarettes. A lawyer in the case is quoted as saying: “I don’t wish to generalize too much, but from the evidence we have obtained it seems a fair inference that all the women of the so-called smart set that Mrs. —— went with smoked cigarettes and drank habitually.”

— A special committee of the Swedish Riksdag, appointed to consider a bill which had been drafted to serve as a basis of separation between Sweden and Norway, presented a report that the bill in its present form was not acceptable; whereupon the Swedish cabinet tendered its resignation. The terms of separation proposed were, “first, the establishment of a zone on each side of the frontier separating the kingdoms, within which the existing fortifications shall be razed, and new fortifications may not be erected; second, the right of pasturing reindeer belonging to Swedish Laplanders in North Norway; third, that the transit trade through both countries shall be secured against unjustifiable obstruction ; fourth, that the status of Sweden in respect to foreign powers as established by treaty shall be clearly defined, so that Sweden shall be completely freed from responsibility for Norway to other states.” The question of separation from Sweden was to be submitted to a vote of the people of Norway August 1.

— The Japanese forces in Manchuria are reported to be moving against Kirin, with an evident purpose of getting between Vladivostock and the Russian army. The significance of the czar’s recent meeting with Emperor William is believed to be that the latter is seeking a readjustment of the political equilibrium of Europe, a feature of which would be, in the kaiser’s program, a Scandinavian dreibund with a Hohenzollern prince on the throne of Norway, and an ice-free port in Norway as a compensation to Russia. England and Germany are known to be playing against each other in the game of political alliances and preferments in Europe, but in this game the kaiser is the master figure, and all Europe is kept in suspense awaiting a new move on his part. Under such a situation European politics will not soon settle down to a quiescent state.

West Michigan Camp-Meeting

West Virginia Camp-Meeting

By B. F. PURDHAM

As has already been announced, the West Virginia camp-meeting is to be held this year August 17-27, at Clarksburg, on the same grounds where it was held last year.

There will be tents and buildings for rent at the usual rates,— from two dollars to three dollars. The flooring in tents for those who desire it will be at additional expense, but will be made as reasonable as possible. Let all provide themselves with such bedding as they will need. We can not rent cots and bed springs and mattresses, hence let all bring their straw ticks, which can be filled on the grounds at very little cost.

There will be a boarding hall where meals will be served at reasonable rates. There will also be a lunch stand, where lunches will be served at reasonable rates in the evening; also a grocery.

Reduced rates have been secured on all lines of the B. & O. R. R. Certificates will be sent to all our churches, and to all isolated brethren and sisters who may need them, if they will send us orders for them. Send in your orders at once for them. Present these certificates to the B. & O. ticket agents, and they will sell you round-trip tickets at one and one-third fare. These certificates are good any time from August 15 to 26 going, and for returning till August 29.

When you reach Clarksburg, take street-car near the depot, ask for transfer to the old fair-grounds. It is only a short walk from the car line to the camp-ground. Baggage will be hauled at reasonable rates. Hand your checks to Elder Province at the book stand, and the baggage will be looked after. Write to Elder Province, ordering tents, lumber, and such things as you need. We expect excellent help at this meeting.

B. F. PURDHAM, Vice-Pres.
