OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

FIFTEEN persons were baptized at Clear Lake, Wis., August 2, by Brother J. B. Scott.

FIVE converts are reported as fruit of the German meetings held in a tent at Wausau, Wis.

ELEVEN candidates were baptized during the recent camp-meeting at Sioux Rapids, Iowa.

AT the local camp-meeting held at Cambridge, Neb., August 13–18, four persons were baptized.

A CHURCH of twenty-five members was organized at Merrill, Wis., on the 1st inst., by Brother C. J. Hermann.

CAMP-MEETINGS in October are announced as follows: Woodbine, Harrison County, Iowa, 1–6; Red Bluff, Cal., 3–13.

AS FRUIT of meetings held at Fayetteville, N. Y., by Brethren D. A. Ball and S. B. Whitney, nine persons have decided to obey the truth.

BROTHER J. B. BECKNER, of Missouri, recently sailed from New York for Jamaica, where he will labor under the auspices of the Mission Board.

THREE candidates were baptized at Erskine, Minn., August 31st, by Brother J. C. Christensen, who has been laboring in the interest of the Scandinavian people.

AT Sherburne, Minn., after four meetings conducted by Brother D. Nettleton, while on his way from South Dakota to Nebraska, three young persons were baptized and added to the church.

BROTHER J. W. BOYNTON, who went from Nebraska the past summer to labor in the Northwest Province, Canada, writes from Alberta to the Nebraska Reporter concerning the country in that northern latitude. We copy the following:—

The country seems to be well adapted to stock raising in the southern portion, and mixed farming in the north. Crops look fine, altho late. Harvest will begin the latter part of August. Cereals of all kinds and garden vegetables do well. The summers are short, and the winters longer than in Nebraska, but all unite in saying that the winters are fine. There is good sleighing all winter, as the snow does not drift, there being but very little wind at any time. There is plenty of rain during the summer. I find many people here from the States, and all seem kind and friendly. Homestead land can still be obtained by going twenty miles from the railroad, at different towns along the line.

BROTHER W. WOODFORD, whose departure for Australia in June last was noted in this paper, writes from Sydney, N. S. W.: “We all arrived safe, and enjoyed the Union Conference at Cooranbong. The missionary spirit pervaded the entire session. The plan to take up the work of freeing our school from debt by selling ‘Christ’s Object Lessons,’ was heartily indorsed, and a fund of £460 [$2,300] was raised by the delegates present to buy material for the manufacture of the books. The harvest is ripe; pray the Lord to raise up laborers.”

On the 16th inst., ten missionaries sailed from San Francisco for Tahiti, to engage in work in the South Sea Islands. Brother B. J. Cady and wife, who, after ten years of service returned to America to attend the General Conference and incidentally to visit friends, are on their way “home,” accompanied by the following named persons: L. A. Roth, wife, and three children, of San Francisco; G. F. Jones and wife, of England; George Beckner and wife, of Texas; Miss Anna Nelson, of Wisconsin; and Miss Pura Brodien, a native of the Society Islands, who is returning to her home.
