Our Work and Workers.

Two persons united with the Neenah, Wis., church at their recent quarterly meeting.

Brother J. V. Maas reports good meetings at Almond, Wisconsin, during the week of prayer. Two persons were converted.

The Workers' Record says that the annual offerings in Missouri to foreign missions will be more than three times as large this year as last.

Pastor J. M. Reese, president of the Missouri Conference, has been suffering for a few days with a light attack of pneumonia. He is getting about again.

Our Portland, Oregon, Sanitarium is enjoying a season of remarkable prosperity. The building is filled with patients, and all departments present a scene of activity.

Brother H. J. Schnepper is holding meetings in a Swiss settlement in Oregon, and three families have commenced the observance of the Sabbath according to the Lord's commandment.

Brother Nellis reports two conversions at Salem, Oregon, and the young people at Royal have taken a strong, active stand for the right. There does not seem to be an indifferent one among them.

The brethren in Iowa are using the Outlook Number of the Signs in connection with their canvass for “Christ's Object Lessons.” Good success is attending their efforts. These two valuable publications can go nicely together, if the proper effort is put forth.

Brother Fulmer has organized the small company of believers at Oxford Mills, Iowa, into a church. There is a good interest in the neighborhood in the thrilling themes connected with the message of the Lord's soon coming, and the prospect is bright that the church will grow.

Brother Wm. Kennedy has just closed a series of meetings in a schoolhouse in La Plata, N. M. As a result, three more persons professed their faith in Christ and commenced the observance of the Sabbath. These, with the believers who were already there, will form the nucleus for a small church.

A most blessed revival work has been in progress in the Oakland, Cal., church for the last few weeks. Pastor A. G. Daniells, recently returned to this country from Australia, and Pastor C. M. Gardner, the local pastor of the church, have been taking the principal burden of the meetings. Mrs. E. G. White has also been with us to speak two or three times. The work has moved along very quietly, but it has been deep and thorough. Special meetings have been held both in the church and with the workers employed in the Pacific Press. On the evening of January 20, forty-six persons were baptized, all young people. Some six or eight more have given in their names for baptism, who were not ready when the others were baptized. In several instances whole families of children gave themselves to the Lord and were baptized. No one specially asked them to do it, but they moved forward themselves under the conviction of the Spirit of God. In some instances it was found that these young persons had been seriously considering this step for several months. There is the deep note of rejoicing in more than one home in Oakland, as well as in the presence of God among the angels.
