FromThe Advent Review and Sabbath Herald, Vol. 55, No. 7

Noble, Rice Co., Jan. 27.—Began meetings here the 12th inst. The average attendance has been about fifty, and the interest has been good from the first. We could not ask for better attention and order than we have had here. Our meeting last Sabbath was well attended, and a good impression was made. Twelve, as nearly as I can learn, kept the Sabbath for the first time, and others seem to be almost persuaded to obey. Pray for the work here. R. F. BARTON.

Ward, Wilson Co., Jan. 29.—I attended the Oswego quarterly meeting, Jan. 4, 5. Obtained one new subscriber for the REVIEW, and preached four times on Sabbath and first-day. Owing to bad roads, the attendance was small, but the meetings were full of interest.

Jan. 7, I came to Ward. Held a two-days’ meeting with the church, and then commenced a series of meetings at the first school-house west of this place. Bro. Lamont came soon after, and we have labored together. The attendance has not been large, but some are deeply interested, and we hope for good results. L. D. SANTEE.

Richland, Jan. 27.—I held meetings with this church Jan. 23-27, and spoke seven times. One brother and sister lately from Key West, Florida, who have located in Topeka, and had never heard of S. D. Adventists until quite recently, had embraced the truth through reading; they attended this meeting, and here heard their first discourse on present truth. The brother was baptized, united with the church, and subscribed for the REVIEW. The sister expects soon to unite with us. There seem to be some indications that good could be done in Topeka, if the General Conference could only furnish the needed help to carry through a successful course of lectures. SMITH SHARP.
