OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

PLANS are on foot for establishing helping hand and medical missionary work in Wheeling, W. Va.
THE Reporter says that a new church is soon to be organized at Lawndale, Texas.
BROTHER F. W. HIDDLESON has been assigned to the Walla Walla (Wash.) Mission, to conduct the Gospel services.
DURING the past week a camp-meeting in the interest of the German people was held at Endicott, Wash.
A CHURCH of sixteen members was organized at West Superior, Wis., May 22, by Brother Wm. Covert, president of the conference.
BROTHER G. H. SMITH, a Nebraska laborer, reports the baptism of ten persons at Arcadia, four at Loup City, and two at Milburn.
AT Kearney, Neb., Brother J. J. Hughes secured 100 subscribers for the SIGNS in a very short time, delivering them himself every week.
SO OFTEN laborers say of their respective localities, “This is a hard field.” Never mind, there are no easy fields in this world, but none of them is harder than was Judea when our Lord and His disciples labored there. Remember the promise, “Lo, I am with you.”
A WORKER went out from Omaha, Neb., lately, with 350 copies of the SIGNS, to some of the railroad towns, and sold all the papers in eighteen hours. In one place she sold 24 in thirty minutes.
A CALL is made upon the churches in Texas to assist in opening medical mission work in Galveston. We hope to hear favorable reports from this work before long.
JULY 2 and 3 have been set apart by the General Conference Committee as special days of consecration and earnest seeking of God for His guidance and blessing upon the work and workers. Contributions will be taken for foreign mission work.
THE California Conference officers for the coming year are as follows: Executive committee, W. T. Knox (president), N. C. McClure, R. S. Owen, M. C. Wilcox, E. E. Andross, G. A. Snyder, J. W. Bagby; secretary, J. J. Ireland; treasurer, Pacific Press Publishing Company. Other particulars will be given next week.
IN the semiannual report of the Helping Hand Mission in Cleveland, Ohio, we note the following testimony of a man at one of the meetings: “I thank God for this mission. I was a terrible object when I staggered in here five months ago. I had drunk up all I had, even to the clothes upon my back. I was an inmate of the workhouse, but the Lord saved me, and has taken away the desire for drink, and now I have steady work, and my family are with me to-night at this service.”
ELDER J. W. COLLIE has commenced a feature of public work in Cleveland, Ohio, which gives promise of success. He has engaged a large hall for Sunday nights. The first lecture was given on the evening of the 5th inst., with an attendance of over five hundred. The subject was “The Arming of the Nations for the War of the Ages.” That the audience was pleased was indicated by the fact that over seven hundred cards of admission were taken for the next meeting. Could not a like work be done in many more cities?
