OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

AS THIS paper goes to press, a local camp-meeting is progressing at McPherson, Kansas.
THE Iowa State camp-meeting and conference session will be held at Des Moines, May 30 to June 9.
MRS. E. G. WHITE spent Monday, May 6, at Des Moines, Iowa, while on her way West. She spoke at 3 o’clock P.M., and at 5:30 Tuesday morning.
A NEW meeting-house was dedicated at Clay Center, Kansas, on the 19th inst. Brethren J. W. Westphal, president of the conference, and I. A. Crane, were present and conducted the services.
THE Sanitarium at Battle Creek, Mich., is enjoying the largest patronage at this season of the year in its history. The management has found it necessary to rent eighty cottages to accommodate patrons and helpers.
THE Ohio Conference furnishes and pays an experienced Bible-worker for Memphis, Tenn. Hereafter it is expected that all State conferences will furnish more or less help for needy fields outside of their special territory.
ON the date of this paper, Brother George A. Snyder and wife, of California, and Prof. C. W. Irwin and wife, of Tennessee, will sail from San Francisco for Australia. Brother Wm. Woodford and wife, of Alabama, are also assigned to the Australian field.
ONE of the recommendations of the late General Conference was that the SIGNS OF THE TIMES and Good Health be used in pioneer city mission work in this country. As this has been done to some extent heretofore, the inference is that a more extended use is to be made of them. It is also an indorsement of the past work of these efficient agencies.
ARE church-schools practicable? is answered in the affirmative by our San Francisco brethren. Twenty-five children for baptism at one time—aged from nine to sixteen years—mainly the result of the church-school work, is the argument upon which the decision is based. The school now comprises about fifty pupils. Brother George E. Johnstone is principal with Miss Luella Reed as assistant.
THE following testimonial is from a Baptist minister in Waverly, Iowa: “I have carefully examined the book entitled ‘Christ’s Object Lessons,’ and take pleasure in speaking a warm word in its favor. It is a book particularly adapted to the home, as it presents the teachings in a plain and interesting manner. It is free from difficult words, so that the children will especially enjoy reading it and hearing it read.”
