An excellent interest is reported at Maxwell, W. Va., by Brethren W. R. Foggin and C. B. Rule, and a house of worship is under consideration.
Reporting to the Review, Brother A. G. Christiansen notes the organization of a church of twelve members (since increased to fifteen) at Logan, Utah.
The work in the island of Sumatra is to be reinforced by the addition of Brother George Teasdale and wife, of Australia, who is to assist Brother R. W. Munson at Padang.
Two of our Healdsburg College boys, J. E. and F. S. Bond, have been doing some very successful canvassing in Arizona with “Desire of Ages” and “Christ’s Object Lessons.”
Of the recent colored camp-meeting held at Edgefield Junction, Tenn., the Watchman says it was well attended and the interest was most excellent throughout. The meeting was a grand success.
At Elk Garden, W. Va., where Brother J. W. Lair has been laboring, fifteen persons have decided to keep the Sabbath of the Lord. In the face of many other attractions in the town, there is an unusual interest in the meetings.
At the last quarterly-meeting of the church at Shamrock, Wis., three persons united with the church. Brother T. B. Snow was there to officiate. He also reports for the quarterly-meeting at Marshfield, where two were added to the membership, with another to follow on the next Sabbath.
A new house of worship was dedicated at Rose Lawn, Wis., October 31. Brother Wm. Covert, president of the conference, and Brother C. J. Herrman conducted the services. The Reporter says that requests have come to the Conference Committee for the dedication of three other churches this fall,—at Burnamwood, at Almond, and at Pound.
From the Texas Reporter we learn that in connection with the Keene Industrial school a bakery company for the manufacture of health foods has been organized. A good substantial amount of capital has been subscribed and operations will be commenced as soon as possible. It is the intention also to operate a canning factory another season.
The secretary of the Sabbath-school Department of the Pennsylvania Conference, has suggested to the schools that they hold harvest ingathering services, representing the feast of tabernacles of the Israelites, which was a joyous commemoration of the blessings of God. The feast in ancient times was an acknowledgment of God’s bounty in the products of the orchard, the olive grove, and the field. The harvest ingathering has been celebrated by some schools in other States with encouraging results. There is no danger of being too thankful or too liberal in dealing with the Lord.
Reporting to the Southern Watchman, Brother R. T. Nash says: I came to Waynesville October 7 for the purpose of building a house in which we have planned to prepare one room for a school-room until we are able to build larger for that purpose. A number of families here who are not Adventists are already asking for admission of their children to this school. The prospect is very encouraging. Since coming to Waynesville [N. C.] I have suddenly changed into a combination of stone-mason, brick-mason, carpenter, and in fact everything that goes to make up a house-builder. The Lord is blessing and prospering in all my labor with Him; and why not, when we are partners?
