The Work Reviving.

By Editor

SEVERAL times during the last six months we have expressed our confident belief that we should soon see a decided revival in the work of the Third Angel's Message. We are now happy to say we were not mistaken. A letter received from Sister White, written during the General Conference, and the meetings attending it, gives the most cheering account of the work going on. The brethren are evidently being fitted up for their labors.

A telegram from Eld. Haskell, sent after the close of the Conference, says: "The largest and best Conference ever held closed Tuesday night. Mrs. White spoke with great freedom." Several were named to go to Europe, but we withhold the names till we learn more of their intended movements. Of the disposition of laborers, he says: "Lane goes to Virginia, Rupert to Kentucky, Ostrander to Colorado, St. John to California, Henderson to Ohio." The Conference Committee was increased to five, and Brn. White and Olsen were put on it. A good move in all respects. Missions are to be opened in Indianapolis, Chicago, Kansas City, and Denver.

Other points of interest were noticed. We anxiously look for a full report. We have known Bro. St. John from his boyhood; and we congratulate our California Conference on this appointment. Pray for the workers.
