OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

ON April 21, six persons were baptized at Hanford, Cal., by Brother F. M. Burg.

AT Wendell, Kansas, seven candidates were recently baptized by Brother G. G. Rupert.

ON May 10, seven students of Mount Vernon (Ohio) Academy were baptized by Brother W. H. Wakeham.

A HOUSE of worship at Meigs, Morgan County, Ohio, was dedicated on the 18th ult. Brethren A. G. Haughey and A. C. Shannon conducted the exercises.

A CANVASSERS’ institute is to be held in this city immediately after camp-meeting. An institute for church-school teachers will also be held at the same time.

THE SACRAMENTO branch of the St. Helena Sanitarium is located in the very heart of California’s capital city. It is located in the block adjoining the post-office, a fine government building, and on the principal business street. The branch is conducted by Dr. G. A. Droll and wife, and enjoys an encouraging patronage. Our literature is represented on the table of the waiting-room.

CAMP-MEETINGS now in progress and to be held during June are as follows: Oakland, Cal., 4-16; Anoka, Minn., 4-12; Erie, Pa., 6-16; Grand Rapids, Wis., 12-23; Alpena, Mich., 13-23; Sioux Falls, S. D., 18-24. Several others are to be held during the month, but we are not yet advised as to localities.

FROM the Watchman, Nashville, Tenn., we learn that Brother C. P. Bollman, former president of Tennessee River Conference, is now located in Nashville. At the close of the late General Conference it was decided to move the Sentinel of Liberty from Chicago to that city, and to continue Brother Bollman as one of its editors.

THE following items are from the Gospel Herald, Nashville, Tenn.: “Brother W. H. Armstrong is engaged in evangelical work among the colored people of Winston-Salem, N. C. He reports the work as prospering there. In the city is an organized church of colored people, and there is a good interest among those outside. . . . Brother Armstrong’s field of labor is the Carolinas and Virginia. At Danville, Va., there is a church of some fifty members. . . . The work of the Charity Mission, at Montgomery, Ala., has thus far been successful. Brother T. B. Beckner, who has charge of the mission there, writes that he has had opportunity to speak in several of the most popular churches of his (colored) people, and, as a result, many friends to the work have been made.” The report also states that the school at Montgomery is flourishing, two teachers being employed.

THE work in the San Francisco church has been steadily onward during the past year. Every month has witnessed the baptism of from three to five converts, with one exception, namely, the month of May, in which thirty-four have received the solemn rite. Twenty-nine of these were baptized Sabbath, the 18th, and were all children, ranging from eight to sixteen years of age. All of these were members of the church-school, and embraced every child in the school old enough to understand the benefits of Christian baptism. It is just such a result as this that may be confidently expected in any and every church-school conducted on right lines. Sabbath, the 25th, was another good day for the church, when five adults were added to the church thru the watery grave. One of these was a Japanese of promising appearance, which makes four of that nationality receiving the truth the past year. God is greatly blessing the work in San Francisco, for which we render thanksgiving to His name. J. O. CORLISS.
