OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

JUNE 22, in connection with the camp-meeting at Watertown, S. D., thirty-one persons were baptized.

THOSE who donated means toward the school building in Tahiti will be pleased to know that the home has been finished, and is now occupied.

NOW THAT peace has been declared between the British Government and the Boers, our brethren in South Africa are hopeful that a new impetus will be given to the work in that needy field.

THERE is to be a harvest ingathering service in the Sabbath-schools all over Montana the coming fall. The children are said to be devising all manner of honest ways to earn some money for the occasion.

DONATIONS are solicited for the erection of a church building in Salt Lake City. Offerings for this purpose should be sent to Brother W. A. Alway, Provo, Utah, superintendent of the Utah mission field.

A REPORT in the Review from Jonesboro, Ark., by Brother E. L. Pickney, notes that five persons are keeping the Sabbath there as a result of reading our papers and tracts. Others also are deeply interested in the truths they contain.

A BROTHER in Chile has offered fifty acres of land, partly covered with heavy timber, for a training-school for workers. The Señales de los Tiempos, published in Santiago, Chile, is now self-supporting, having a monthly circulation of about three thousand.

DR. T. S. WHITELOCK reports to the Pacific Union Recorder that the way is opening auspiciously for medical missionary work in San Diego, Cal. They have already a vegetarian restaurant, a health-food store, and treatment rooms, and some excellent locations are offered for a sanitarium.

OF the tent-work at West Point, Miss., Brother R. S. Owen reports to the Southern Watchman that the “three newspapers give favorable reports of the meetings, one of the editors being in frequent attendance. Two of the pastors have met with us in our services, and we are receiving kind courtesy from all.”

THE South Lancaster (Mass.) Sanitarium is to be moved from its present location to Melrose, within a few miles of Boston, with a view to enlarged quarters and patronage. The old site can be sold, and the new one secured on very favorable terms. There are buildings at Melrose equipped with modern facilities, and railroad connections are very favorable.

A REPORT of work in Natal, South Africa, says that eight acres of ground have been secured at Sweetwaters for a school site; that the money is in hand for a school building, and the work is in progress. Bro. G. W. Reaser retains the oversight of the Natal-Transvaal field for the present, while visiting other parts of South Africa.

BY the Australian steamer that sailed from San Francisco on the 3d inst., Brother John S. Reekie and wife returned to their southern home. Brother Reekie came to this country to complete his medical course, and has received degrees both in medicine and surgery. He is a native of Australia, and his wife (formerly Miss Hare) is a native of New Zealand. They will take up work for a time in the latter island.

THE South African Union Council requests the Mission Board of America to advance $7,500 for the purchase and equipment of a mission farm at a central point of access to the natives of Pondoland, Griqualand East, Natal, Zululand, Swaziland, Amatongaland, Gaziland, the Transvaal, and the Orange River Colony. It is said that this region is one of the most healthful in all South Africa, as well as being well adapted to agriculture and stock-raising. It was also decided to apply to the Mission Board for a church-school teacher for Natal.
