OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

A LOCAL camp-meeting is in progress at Brushton, Franklin County, N. Y., which will close on the 31st inst.
THE baptism of four candidates at Talmage, Neb., by Brother F. W. H. Schroeder, is noted in the Reporter.
THE Dakota Worker notes the organization of a church near McKinney, N. D., by Brother Lars Neilsen.
THE Ontario Messenger for August says that thirteen members were recently added to the church in Toronto.
THE tent-meetings being held at Quincy, Cal., by Brethren C. N. Martin and D. Parsons, have so far resulted in eight conversions to the truth.
ON the 2d inst., a company of ten members was organized at Weyerhaeuser, Wis., by Brother J. B. Scott. A leader and a treasurer were chosen, and a full church organization is to be effected in the near future.
As a result of labor by brother L. L. French at Meadow Valley, Wis., seven persons have accepted “the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.”
ABOUT the middle of September, there will be issued special numbers of our Swedish paper (Sion’s Väktare), and our Danish-Norwegian journal (Evangeliets Sendebud). They will each contain 32 pages and colored cover. The Väktare is published in Battle Creek, Mich., and the Sendebud in Christiania, Norway. The prices will be: 1 to 49 copies, 5 cents each; 50 to 499 copies, 3 cents each; 500 or more, 2½ cents each. Our State tract societies will take orders.
WRITING to the Wisconsin Reporter of the work at Barron, Brother J. B. Locken says: “Six have already decided to walk in the light. One of these is a brother eighty-two years of age, who, having become discouraged with the pride and formalism of his church, has been seeking for this truth many years, and how glad he was to receive this message that makes the Bible a new book to him. Two Scandinavian sisters have also decided to obey. One of these, a blind lady, gave a touching testimony of gratitude to God in our last Sabbath meeting, for restoring her spiritual eyesight, and for the glorious hope that ‘when He shall appear we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is.’”
OF the work with the SIGNS in Buffalo, N. Y., we take the following from Brother B. E. Connerly’s report to the Indicator: “One brother handed a paper to a stranger on the street one evening, and as a result Brother McCreedy is now rejoicing in the truth, and is so interested that he pays for and carries twenty-five copies to the State Penitentiary each week. We have over twenty flagmen looking for the SIGNS each week; we also distribute the papers in the lodging-houses, where we have excellent chances to do work for the Master, and in many other places we go with our good missionary paper. Thank the Lord for such a paper and for a part in the work!”
