OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

In the latter part of April, eight candidates were baptized at Oconto, Neb., by Brother L. E. Johnson.

In the Workers’ Bulletin we note that Brother J. A. Krafts reports the organization of a church of thirteen members at Dunlap, Iowa.

THE school work in the South is to be reinforced by the labors of Professors A. E. Sutherland and P. T. Magan, late of Berrien Springs, Mich.

BROTHER GEORGE B. THOMPSON, until recently president of Ontario Conference, has accepted a call to unite with the work in Washington, D. C.

THE European General Conference will be held at Friedensau, Germany, July 15-19, to be followed by the German Union Conference, July 20-25.

In the Nebraska Reporter, Brother L. Johnson mentions the baptism of eight persons at Newman Grove, in that state. Seven of the candidates were Swedes, and one a Norwegian.

BROTHER W. A. SPICER, of the Review and Herald editorial staff, and secretary of the General Conference, has been in attendance at the Northern California conference and camp-meeting held in this city. His preaching and counsel were very acceptable to the people.

At the annual meeting of the stockholders of Pacific Press Publishing Company, held June 7, the following board of directors was elected: W. T. Knox, C. H. Jones, E. A. Chapman, M. C. Wilcox, H. H. Hall, W. B. White, A. S. Kellogg. The new board was subsequently organized as follows: W. T. Knox, president; C. H. Jones, vice-president and general manager; E. A. Chapman, secretary and treasurer; J. J. Ireland, auditor.

A COMMENDABLE daily Camp-meeting Bulletin was issued by the South Dakota Conference during the camp-meeting at Canton. From the initial number we take this expression which should be passed along: “To many, a camp-meeting is simply an outing, a place of recreation and worldly pleasure, with a religious name. But God’s idea of a camp-meeting is as much different from this as heaven is higher than the earth. The great object of a camp-meeting, as of all religious meetings, is the salvation of souls. This should never be lost sight of during any period of the meeting, by either ministers or laity.”

FOLLOWING are the officers elected by the Northern California Conference at its recent session: A. S. Kellogg, president; J. S. Osborne, secretary; Pacific Press Publishing Company, treasurer; A. J. Bordeau, missionary secretary; B. F. Richards, superintendent of young people’s work; Mrs. C. R. King, secretary of Sabbath-school and young people’s work; S. C. Osborne, state canvassing agent. The following persons comprise the executive committee: A. S. Kellogg, D. T. Fero, T. J. Evans, M. E. Cady, B. F. Richards, W. T. Knox, H. H. Hall, J. W. Bagby, C. E. Leland.

BROTHER ARTHUR CURROW, who represents the medical missionary work in Fiji, writes to the mission board that he is thinking of renting treatment rooms in Suva. So far, his work has been giving treatments at the homes of those who have called upon him. If he takes treatment rooms, he will be able to treat more patients, and do the work in a more satisfactory manner. He will be assisted by Mrs. Currow, who is also a trained nurse, and who, because of the distance they live from Suva, can not assist much at present. Brother Currow says: “We have not been really idle one day since we began. Our prospects are bright, and our hope and confidence are in God.”
