OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

A NEW house of worship is being erected at Black Rock, Ark.

A NEW church schoolhouse has been erected by the church in Elk Point, S. D.

Six new members were received into the church in Cincinnati, Ohio, December 10.

DECEMBER 10, four students of Fernando (Cal.) College were buried with their Lord in baptism.

THE WELCOME VISITOR says that at the last service of the week of prayer in Academia, Ohio, “eight young persons decided to serve the Lord from henceforth.”

REPORTING to the Southwestern Union Record, Brother J. I. Taylor notes the accession of six persons to our ranks as a result of meetings held at Culleoka, Texas.

THE third annual commencement exercises of the Iowa Sanitarium Training School were held at Des Moines, December 29. The address was delivered by Brother A. G. Daniells, president of the General Conference. There were seven graduates.

TWO persons baptized, and others awaiting the opportunity, near Ussery, Ark., together with the addition of three members to the Hot Springs church, is the substance of a report by Brother H. L. Parker in the Southwestern Union Record.

WRITING from Memphis, Tenn., Brother H. C. Balsbaugh reports concerning Sister Balsbaugh’s Bible-work with the colored people, that six of her readers are now walking in the light of the Sabbath truth. He also reports two others who have accepted the truth through our literature.

“THE LORD’S DAY, the Test of the Ages,” by M. C. Wilcox, treats of the institution of the Sabbath, the restoration of the Sabbath to the Israelites after leaving Egypt, the change of the Sabbath, the Gospel of Christ and the Sabbath, etc., and we think it would be a most excellent pamphlet to get into the homes of the people this winter.—Worker’s Bulletin.

NOVEMBER 26, a new church was organized at Long Beach, Cal., by Brother C. Santee, president of Southern California Conference, with thirty members, some of whom had formerly been members of other churches, and some had newly come to the faith under the labors of Brothers J. F. Ballenger and S. T. Hare. The First Christian Church of that city granted the privilege of the baptistry for baptizing candidates, and proffered its use at any time it might be desired.

THE churches in Washington, D. C., made a good record during the week of prayer. Brother A. G. Daniells, in the Review, says it was “an occasion of great blessing and encouragement to the churches.” The encouragement is shown in their responses to the calls for missionary funds. The church at Takoma Park, where the new institutional buildings are being erected, gave $574; the M Street church added $387; and the two smaller churches—the Eighth Street and the U Street—gave $63.24.

IT is encouraging to learn that the systematic effort to place the Review, our excellent church paper, in every Seventh-day Adventist family in this country, is meeting with a good degree of success. We are sure that if all our people were reading, from week to week, the stirring missionary reports with which the Review abounds, the missionary spirit would be greatly revived, and a new impetus would be given to the circulation of our pioneer missionary literature. Let the effort to place the “good old Review” in all Adventist homes go forward. With the new year is a good time to begin. It is only $1.50 a year.
