OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

The company at Escondido, Cal., is to be organized into a church on the second Sabbath of February.
Recent meetings held in Richmond, as noted in the Messenger, have resulted in eleven adherents to the faith.
With the beginning of the new year, a conference intermediate school and a local church-school were started at Hazel, Ky.

Three converts at meetings held in a schoolhouse near Henderson, Neb., are reported by Brother P. P. Gaede, who is laboring in the interest of the Germans of that State.
Brother B. R. Nordyke, manager of our Kansas City branch office, is on a short vacation, visiting the mother institution, where he labored for several years, and also visiting his son in this city.
The spring term of Healdsburg (Cal.) College will begin February 5. There is no vacation; but at this time several new classes will be formed, and new students can take up regular school work to good advantage.
The Advocate of Christian Education is nearer to comprehending the idea expressed in its title, now that the Sabbath-school Department is being added. The January issue—Volume IV, Number 1—is an all-round educational number. The Advocate is published monthly; thirty-two pages, 50 cents a year. Address, Berrien Springs, Mich.
Reporting to the Messenger, Brother G. W. Lewis gives notes of a preaching tour in Virginia. He says that at one place where he preached a large hall was secured for him which would hold about three hundred people. When he left, the trustees told him that whenever he came that way again, he could have the keys, and hold a series of meetings if he wished.
Chicago has more people, more degradation, and more wickedness than many of the States. The Life Boat is the exponent of our various missionary enterprises in that great city, and contains many interesting experiences, and much that is encouraging to missionary work. Published monthly, at 25 cents a year. Address, 28, 33d Place, Chicago, Ill.
A new church building at Eldorado Springs, Mo., was dedicated on the 11th inst. Brother J. M. Rees, president of the conference, was present. This is one of the three new churches admitted to the conference at the recent session. The other two were Cotton and Mountain View. During the past year seven churches and three school buildings were erected in the conference.
A sister in Patchogue, L. I., writes to tell us how much she appreciates the SIGNS. She had learned some of the truth from one of our laborers, but he had been called away before she fully understood the message. Speaking of this brother and of her own experience, she says: “He was sent from here last June, and I did not understand the whole teaching of the truth as he taught it; but through your wonderful paper I have been able to learn many beautiful lessons.” She now desires to assist in circulating our publications.
Prof. I. C. Colcord, principal of the Anglo-Chinese Academy at Honolulu, writes to the Recorder that the management of the culinary department has been transferred from the Chinese directors to the faculty of the school. The boarding boys are now eating English foods, prepared and served in English style. They also use knives, forks, spoons, and modern dishes. An anti-tobacco society has been formed. The students are pleased with the Anglo foods. Fruits, grains, vegetables, and occasionally fish, compose the present diet.
The first number of the Gospel Herald as a weekly journal is before us. It is dated January 8, and is up to its title as an exponent of the Gospel. It contains eight pages weekly, and is issued at the low price of fifty cents a year. The purpose of this journal is to give a publication especially adapted to the southern field. It is expected to wield a greater influence, because of its being published within the field, than the papers coming from abroad. We wish it abundant success. Those who feel disposed to help this new enterprise will address Southern Publishing Association, 1025 Jefferson Street, Nashville, Tenn.
