OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

THE annual session of Montana Conference will be held at Butte, commencing March 16.
DURING the past year twenty-nine members were added to the church in Black Hills, S. D.
JANUARY 4 a Sabbath-school of nineteen members was organized at Arvilla, S. D., by Brother J. W. Christian.
THE brethren in Vancouver, B. C., are preparing to build a house of worship. They have been offered a present of a lot on which to build.
THE last evening of the recent conference at Nashville, Tenn., Brethren W. R. Burrow and B. Hagle were ordained to the Gospel ministry.
A GENERAL meeting is to be held at Pipestone, Minn., February 18 to 23. The new house of worship at that place will be dedicated during this meeting.
TWO LABORERS, Brethren R. D. Quinn and W. A. Gosmer, report the addition of two brethren to the faith at Stevensville, Mont., one of whom is a school teacher.
ON the 19th ult., the company of believers at Franklin, Ky., were organized into a church, and trustees were elected to hold the church property. The building is nearing completion.
THE minister of the M. E. Church at Oklahoma City, O. T., recently recommended “Christ’s Object Lessons” from his pulpit. The book is worthy of commendation in every pulpit. If you have not yet bought a copy, do not delay any longer. It costs only $1.25, and is worth more than its weight in gold.
REPORTING to the Workers’ Record from St. Louis, Mo., Brother R. C. Porter says that a sister has purchased a very desirable church building on the corner of Newstead Avenue and Delmar Boulevard, and presented it to the Missouri Conference. The cost was $6,000. Another sister presented an excellent organ.
THE Wisconsin conference committee, in consultation with Prof. E. A. Sutherland, of the educational committee of the General Conference, are considering the matter of a German school in that State. The Oshkosh Northwesterner would like to see it established in that city, and recently gave considerable space to a discussion of the proposition.
A CLIPPING from the Advertiser, published at Kimberley, South Africa, has this notice of one of our health institutions: “The Diamond Fields Benevolent Home has for some time derived the greater part of its income from the baths. The Home was originated to furnish a temporary stopping place for needy and unemployed men. Here they were supplied with food and furnished with a lodging, and up to the commencement of the siege a wood-yard was kept going, in which those who were in distress could earn a little money to pay their way. As facilities have now been furnished elsewhere for cheap food and lodging, the management thought it best to enter into a new field of charitable enterprise, and the present profits are devoted to medical missionary work, such as visiting the sick, giving treatment, and supplying their many needs. Those who visit this establishment not only benefit themselves, but at the same time assist those who are helpless and in pain.”
FROM the Mirror, published in Port of Spain, island of Trinidad, we learn that the foundation stone of a new seventh-day Adventist church was laid in that city on the 9th ult. In the absence of Brother A. J. Haysmer, superintendent of missions in the West Indies, who had been detained on account of quarantine, Brother W. G. Kneeland, of San Fernando, assisted by Brother G. F. Enoch, conducted the services. A goodly company of brethren and sisters from that city and other places were present, as also a large number of people from every other denomination represented in the community.
IN the New York Indicator, Mrs. Etta Dwight tells of a humble woman’s work in DeRuyter. She had been advised by Mrs. G. A. Irwin to hold regular seasons of prayer with some of her neighbors, but at first was afraid to make the start. But as the fear increased, she determined to go ahead. She began with her nearest neighbor, who in time became very happy in keeping the true Sabbath, and her husband afterward united with her. They studied the Word and prayed together regularly, and finally asked the elders of the church to join them. Now seven souls have given themselves to God, and five have made a new start.
THE Industrial Educator publishes a letter to Brother W. A. McCutcheon, president of Texas Conference, from a Baptist brother representing a small church at Laredo, asking for information as to the necessary steps for becoming a Seventh-day Adventist church. Brother McCutcheon had also received a letter from another party, recommending other Spanish persons who had become interested in the truth. As no special work has been done in that place by our brethren, and these people are Spanish, there is evidence that the Spirit of the Lord has been at work in an unusual manner to impress us with the necessity of pushing forward in the matter of Spanish literature and advanced labor for our Spanish neighbors.
