OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

The address of Pastor J. E. White is 1908 Grand Avenue, Nashville, Tenn.

Brother G. O. States reports good meetings at Idaho Springs, Colo., with one addition to the church.

The reports from the church schools in Minnesota show success all along the line, so says the last Worker.

The twenty-fourth edition of “Great Controversy” is now being bound up, and orders for more than a thousand books are awaiting its appearance.

Brother G. F. Watson reports two additions to the church at Denver, Colo., and one at Glenwood Springs, and a new church building at Grand Junction.

At the opening of the industrial school at Sheridan, Illinois, 30 pupils were enrolled. All these students seemed possessed of a spirit of eagerness for the things promised in the way of right principles of education.

Brother O. E. Reinke reports seven baptisms in the German S. D. A. Church at Milwaukee. Two of these attribute their conversion to having received some copies of the SIGNS OF THE TIMES thru the kindness of a friend.

Brother John Peterson, of Albaton, Iowa, reports a good interest in their home school that they have had for their children during the fall. If parents would only give more attention to the home training of their children, it might be the means of saving both the parents and the children, as well as tend in an incidental way to make things much better in this evil world.

Brother G. R. Hawkins reports encouraging results of Bible work that has been done recently in Dubuque, Iowa. Three have united with the church, two have been baptized, and others will be ready for baptism soon. The church is most active in its work, and as a result they are having good prayer and missionary meetings. And these things are among the most important in the working of a church. Brother Hawkins closes his report by saying that he is at Milville, Iowa, now, holding meetings, and has a good interest.

From a personal letter we quote a few sentences for the encouragement of those who are members of small Sabbath-schools: “Our school is composed of just our own family, which consists of parents and two children. Part of the time a third child meets with us. We have lived isolated from others of like faith for nearly a quarter of a century; but we have kept up our school for many years, and we expect to keep it up as long as there are enough of us together. You may be sure that Satan has not let us carry on our school unmolested, but our courage is good.” If God can give this family such a precious experience in faithfully holding up the truth in their vicinity, will He not as willingly bless other families who do the same?—Iowa Bulletin.
