Our Work and Workers.

Brother M. H. Sears has been laboring at Sparta, Wis., where eight were added to the church.

Seven have taken their stand for the truth at Greendale, Mich., through the labors of Brother Claude White.

Brother G. A. Lagrone reports that five families have accepted present truth at Brysonville, Texas, and many more are much interested.

At Dayton, N. M., a Sabbath-school of twenty members has been organized by Brother R. L. Benton. Several families are deciding to keep all the commandments.

Eleven were baptized at Paterson, N. J., on Sabbath, January 9, by Brother B. F. Kneeland. Most of these were brought into the faith through the labors of Brother J. H. Carroll.

In Kenosha, Wis., where Brother and Sister E. Edwardson have been working, five Danish and six English members have been added recently. A church will be organized in the spring.

A new church building has been erected and dedicated by the English-speaking brethren at Lodi, Cal., the German brethren retaining the old building, which was too small for both.

The following officers have been chosen for the Northern Illinois Conference: President, William Covert; secretary and treasurer, H. E. Moon; Sabbath-school and educational superintendent, Nellie D. Pugh; field missionary agent, O. Morris.

Nine churches were organized in California during 1908, with a total membership of 211. The tithe received during the year amounted to $65,645.71; total receipts for all purposes amounted to $90,291.51.

Following a strong effort to set the truth before the people of Neodesha, Kan., a church of fifteen was organized recently. Brethren B. W. Brown and V. W. Robb, assisted by Sisters Maxted, Bower, and Davis, conducted the effort.

Brother W. H. Green, pastor of the Second Seventh-day Adventist Church of Pittsburg, Pa., writes that the church is now moved to 2816 Wylie Avenue, where they have purchased a building of ten large rooms, with basement, for church purposes and treatment rooms. Donations are solicited to pay for this building and establish the work.

A letter to the manager of this office from Pastor L. R. Conradi, vice-president of the General Conference, whose home is at Hamburg, Germany, tells of a recent trip to German East Africa, 150 miles into the interior. Christianity is advancing in Uganda, and favorable opportunities are opening up before our missionaries on the East Coast, both in English and German territory. Around our station in Uganda there are not less than 300,000 natives, inhabiting a district forty by one hundred miles, and our missionaries are the only ones on the ground.
