OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

The 15th inst. was the day set for the dedication of the church at Hamilton, Mo.
Three candidates were baptized at Village Creek, Iowa, April 30, by Brother Swedberg.
On the 30th ult. Brother H. M. J. Richards baptized four candidates at Winterset, Iowa.
Brother N. L. McClintock reports the addition of four members to the church at Allbaton, Iowa.
Brother J. S. Hart reports the baptism of one candidate at Storm Lake, and one at Algona, Iowa.
Seven converts are noted by Brethren F. A. Washburn and W. A. Gosmer at Hastie, Iowa.
The company of believers at Macksburg, Iowa, are planning to erect a new house of worship this year.
Brother V. Thompson recently spent a Sabbath and Sunday at Blair, Neb., and baptized two candidates.
A Scandinavian Sabbath-school was organized at Cambridge, Wis., April 23. This school is the result of the canvassing work.
The Missouri Conference is to have a larger corps of laborers this year than ever before. This ought to be the case in every conference.
An increasing interest is reported in the work conducted by Brother A. A. Meyer at Morsey, Mo., and a Sabbath-school has been organized.
The workers in the Life-saving Mission at Topeka, Kansas, are soon to begin a philanthropic work among the needy people of that city, so says the Worker.
Seven members were added to the church in Birmingham, Iowa, the first week of this month. Circumstances prevented others from attending who desired to be baptized.
Of the Kansas City Mission, Brother W. A. Hennig says: “Every bed we have is occupied every night; many more sleep on the floors. We need at least one hundred more beds, and must have them ready by fall.”
It is gratifying to learn that our good church paper, the Review and Herald, has increased its subscription list by nearly three thousand in the last six months. From this should come a much enlarged missionary spirit, and increased circulation of our missionary publications.
Brother O. E. Jones reports a good work at Guide Rock, Neb. Meetings were held in the Baptist Church. Of those who accepted the truths presented one was the leading physician of the place, who bore all the expense of the meeting. A company and Sabbath-school were organized.
The Outlook, a Methodist paper published in Lincoln, Neb., gives our work this commendatory notice: “The rescue mission on South Ninth Street is under the care of the Adventist Church. This means a good administration, with all their bills met. This denomination builds churches, and pays for them; builds colleges and sanitariums, and pays for them. Its people, with but few exceptions, are among the poor, yet the system of tithing, the one-tenth to the Lord, gives them a financial strength unknown in most other churches. . . . The rescue work they are undertaking is worthy of our assistance, as a Christian people.”
The missionary boat Morning Star, owned and managed by Brother J. E. White, is now located at Yazoo City, Miss. This itinerant mission is carried on expressly for the benefit of the colored people of the south, and its first permanent monument was a church and school at Vicksburg. The latest enterprise in this connection is a monthly journal devoted to the special work of the mission. It is printed and published on the boat, is entitled, The Gospel Herald, and is furnished at the low price of twenty-five cents a year. We might say more about it, but it is so cheap that you would better send twenty-five cents and get it for yourself, and then you will know all about it, and about the good work the money and the paper are designed to assist. Address, Gospel Herald Publishing Co., Yazoo City, Miss.
