AT Punta Gorda, Florida, four young persons recently went forward in baptism, five at Jacksonville, and four at Pensacola. Four at Ocala have united with the church.

A SMALL church has been organized at Montgomery, Alabama. Five or more at Birmingham have identified themselves with this message, and several more at Barnwell.

THURSDAY, June 13, Mr. and Mrs. Milton Mattison left New York on the steamship Cedric for India. Brother Mattison goes to answer a call from India for assistance in the circulation of English literature. Undoubtedly they will receive a very hearty welcome to their new field.

WE ought to have noticed it before, but somehow or other it was crowded out — a most excellent little quarterly journal, the Zeichen der Zeit, the German for “The Signs of the Times,” printed at College View, Nebraska. For instance, the April number has a beautiful cover, nicely printed, and the contents we are sure are excellent, from the men who have charge of the journal, Brethren C. Valentiner and G. W. Erfurth. This little quarterly is, we gather, 30 cents a year. Those who have German friends can not do better than to patronize it.

THREE persons at Johnsonville, Tennessee, were buried in baptism on Sabbath, June 1; and three at Memphis have been baptized and united with the Memphis church. A church of sixteen members was organized near Bon Aqua, on a recent Sabbath.

A SABBATH-SCHOOL of ten members has been organized at Owanka, South Dakota, to be known as the Brennan Flat Sabbath-school; and a church of twelve members in Meade County, about sixty miles from the railroad. This church will be known as the White Owl church. Four persons at Camp Creek are awaiting baptism. Twelve conversions are reported at Madison, and eleven at Burke, where a Sabbath-school of nineteen members has been organized.
