Our Work and Workers

A NUMBER have accepted the truth as a result of meetings in Orland, Ind., recently.

SABBATH, June 26, sixteen were baptized at Newark, N. J., by Elder W. H. Smith.

FOUR new converts to the truth were recently baptized at the Chicago German church.

A VERY pleasant and profitable summer school is in session at the college at Berrien Springs, Mich. About one hundred from the Lake Union Conference are in attendance.

CHRISTIAN EDUCATION is the new organ of the Educational Department, and is to be conducted as a bimonthly magazine, five numbers in the year. Frederick Griggs is the editor, and W. E. Howell, assistant editor.

MEETINGS of an important significance have just begun in Portland, Me. It was from this point that the message went forth in the early days. According to important counsel it is now time to work diligently in the East.

PROFESSOR W. E. HOWELL, lately of Greece, has been invited to take the principalship of the Correspondence School at Washington, D. C. This school is to conduct courses of study in Bible, English, history, New Testament Greek, and mathematics.

WE acknowledge the receipt of the “Second Annual Calendar of the Royal Intermediate School,” of Cottage Grove, Lane County, Ore. The school is located near Cottage Grove, and is a Seventh-day Adventist institution. The school is young and in need of equipment, but is a growing institution. Those interested in helping or who desire to attend should address the principal, G. E. Johnson, Cottage Grove, Ore.

THE following workers have recently sailed for foreign countries: E. F. Forga for England to work on Spanish translations, and to study the Bible in our British training-college. Elder J. W. Hofstra, of West Michigan, with his family, sailed last week for Holland to study previous to going later to Java, in the Dutch East Indies. Max Trummer, of Union College, for South America to labor in the interests of the book work. G. H. Clark, of the Chesapeake Conference, to South Africa in the interests of the book work. Dr. R. H. Habenicht to Argentina to push forward the sanitarium enterprise so encouragingly begun there.

THE work in Haiti began in a wonderful way. In 1879 Elder Loughborough, who was then located in Southampton, England, sent out a box of tracts and papers to Cape Haitien. This literature was not consigned to any one in particular, and so fell into the hands of the agent of the steamship company. This man, taking no interest in religious things himself, turned the box and its contents over to the Episcopal missionary stationed in the city, who distributed its contents among the other Protestant missions. The Sunday following, the Baptist missionary circulated some of this literature among those who were in attendance at his services. Among others to receive an assortment of these pages of truth was a Jamaican, who, after reading what was given him, began, with his wife, to observe the Sabbath.
