OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

A State workers' meeting will be held at Nevada, Iowa, November 5-10.
As a partial indication of the growth of the church-school idea among our people, we mention the fact that last year the brethren in Minnesota supported twenty-five schools.
Thirteen persons have accepted the faith during a series of meetings held at Hillsdale, Wis.
The Reporter notes the addition of eight to our ranks at Prentice, Wis., as the result of recent labors.
The brethren at Salem, Oregon, have completed their new house of worship, and dedicated it on the 26th ult.
The Reporter says that five new Sabbath-keepers, with as many more hopeful ones, is the latest word from Muncie, Ind.
At Portland, Oregon, the brethren and sisters have organized eight reading-circle classes in different parts of the city.
Meetings held at New Hampton, Iowa, by Brethren J. H. Kraft and E. H. Adams, have so far resulted in ten adherents to the faith.
At Richland, Ore., September 7, a church of ten members was organized by Brethren J. A. Holbrook, C. W. Lusk, and W. S. Holbrook.
Having been released from the recommendation to go to South Africa, Brother O. A. Olson has been elected president of the British Conference.
Meetings held at Hillman, Mich., resulted in four taking a firm stand for the truth, and the organization of a Sabbath-school of sixteen members.
A church of seventy members has been organized at Trenton, N. J., the result of tent and Bible work under the direction of Brother E. E. Franke.
Three members were added to the church at Denver, Colo., on the 12th ult., the fruit of meetings held by Brethren W. Zeigler and H. M. J. Richards.
Indiana Conference has secured thirty canvassers, and about as many more will go out part of the time. This was the last report, but effort was being made for more, with a prospect of success.
Reporting to the Review, Brother A. E. Field notes the organization of three churches in Arkansas Conference since July 20,—one at Cline, the second at Prescott, and the third at Batesville.
In Nueva Palmyra, Uruguay, South America, six candidates were baptized a few weeks ago, by Brother John McCarthy. These were the fruit of private missionary work by a young convert to the truth.
A Sabbath-school of twenty members has been organized at Scranton, Iowa, and seven adults have decided to keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. This interest has grown out of tent-meetings held by Brother Henry Johnson.
On the 12th ult., fifteen persons were baptized in connection with the tent work conducted by Brother W. J. Fitzgerald, Philadelphia, Pa. Others have accepted the Sabbath of the Lord, and were soon to also follow the Lord's example in baptism.
From Echoes from the Field we clip this item: Brother Serna writes us that there are nine Sabbath-keepers (Spanish) now in Clyde, N. M. All of these have recently accepted the truths of the third angel's message, and among them a Methodist Episcopal minister.
Brother J. H. Behrens, who recently went to Hawaii to take charge of the work there, writes to the Minnesota Worker: We had a very rough voyage the first half of our journey; but all are safe and well now. The Hawaiian Islands will be our new field of labor, and Honolulu, Ter. Hawaii, our postoffice address. Postage is the same on all mail matter as in the United States.
From Brother L. A. Roth, Papeete, Tahiti: Our company of thirteen, with children, arrived here October 2, after a thirteen days' voyage from San Francisco. We had good weather, and only two of our company—Brother and Sister Becker—were sick. Two or three others were affected by the heat. The ship's officers said it was the finest weather they ever had. Now we are in what we call our paradise on earth. It is just grand. We all thank the Lord for His goodness to us. This is better than home. Pray for us, that we may do all to honor and glorify God.
We have received the First Annual Calendar of Emmanuel Missionary College (successor to Battle Creek College), located at Berrien Springs, Mich. The calendar is a neat illustrated pamphlet of sixty-four pages, well filled with valuable information concerning the school. The fall term of the school began October 30, to continue ten weeks. The faculty comprises a number of leading educators, to which are added a number of well-known non-resident specialists. The calendar is both interesting and instructive. Sent free to those desiring to know more concerning the college.
