OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

THE brethren at Denison, Texas, have lately erected a “nice little house of worship,” says the Record.

ON the 4th inst., five members were added to the English church in Minneapolis, Minn., two of whom were baptized that day in Lake Harriet.

AN intermediate school was opened at Bozeman, Mont., September 15, under the supervision of Brother Claude Conard. A church-school is also held there.

A NEW church building was recently dedicated at Livingston, Mont., free of all incumbrance. Brethren W. B. White, president of the Conference, and J. C. Foster conducted a two days’ meeting in connection with the dedicatory service.

BROTHER JOHN F. JONES reports the visible results of meetings held at Oxford, Md. Six persons have covenanted to keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, and all acknowledge the obligation to return to the Lord the tithe of their income. A Sabbath-school has been organized, and all are of good courage in the Lord.

REPORTING to the Gleaner, Brother K. C. Russell says: “Sunday, the 28th ult., we held another baptismal service in Boston, where six other souls were buried with Christ in baptism. This service was made especially impressive because among the candidates there were representatives of three generations. Certainly we have reached the time when the hearts of the parents are being turned toward their children and the hearts of the children toward their parents.”

UNION COLLEGE, at College View, near Lincoln, Neb., is reported as unusually prosperous this year. The present enrollment, says President L. A. Hoopes, is 250 in all departments. In the Reporter he says, “There is an excellent spirit in the school. All seem to have come for the one purpose, and that is to prepare for usefulness in the Master’s vineyard.” The attendance, especially of young men, will be materially increased as the autumn work on the farms is closed up.

We are again called upon to note the death of an experienced laborer in the cause of God. Brother G. W. Colcord, minister and teacher, died at Hygiene, Col., on the 4th inst., after a short illness. He will be remembered as a laborer on the Pacific Coast some years ago. Later he founded the Graysville Academy, at Graysville, Tenn., which is now known as the Southern Training School. His son, Prof. I. C. Colcord, is now in Hawaii, engaged in school work, and Brother W. A. Colcord, who is at present connected with the Mission Board office in Battle Creek, Mich., is a nephew of deceased.

A LETTER from Brother James A. Morrow, of Georgetown, Demerara, South America, notes a baptism in that place in which ten candidates went forward in the ordinance. Twelve, all the fruit of labor during the summer, were added to the church. The interest also gave promise of further additions.

BROTHER J. H. PAINTER writes from Lynchburg, Va.: “I am holding meetings here. We have purchased the Baptist church on Park Avenue. Twenty-five have accepted the truth, and more are interested. The Lord is blessing us here. Services on Sabbath at 2 P.M. and 3 P.M. Also on Sunday at 11 A.M. and 8 P.M.”
