OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

New York Conference places six tents in the field the present season.

The Colorado Conference Committee have decided to put seven tent companies in the field this season.

The Atlantic Conference Committee have decided to hold a general camp-meeting at Wilmington, Del., from June 23 to July 3.

As a result of meetings held in Cheyenne, Wyo., by Brethren O. S. Ferren and C. H. Abbott, a church of nine members has been organized.

After successful revival services at Denver and Boulder, Colo., Brother A. F. Ballenger went to Utah, and thence he goes to Walla Walla, Wash.

Further advices concerning the death of Brother G. B. Tripp and Dr. A. S. Carmichael at our mission in Matabeleland, Africa, state that fever peculiar to that country was the cause.

From the Nebraska Reporter we learn that Brother N. P. Nelson, of South Dakota, will become president of Nebraska Conference in place of Brother H. E. Robinson, who goes to Battle Creek, Mich.

Through Brother J. W. Brando, of Philadelphia, we are informed that “three whole families, besides some single persons, have stepped out on the Word of the Lord as a result of reading the SIGNS OF THE TIMES.”

Brother J. D. Pegg reports, as a result of labors at Covington, Tenn., that twenty-five are keeping the Sabbath of the Lord. Among these is a man who was on the jury that convicted Brother R. M. King, deceased, of the crime (!) of doing ordinary labor on Sunday, a few years ago.

The managing board of our Helping Hand Mission has secured a place in a suburb of this city as a home for homeless and betrayed girls. This is a feature of the enterprise which was contemplated at the beginning, but had to be deferred until the Mission in San Francisco was fairly under way. The success of that part of the work in the first two months of its operation has amply justified the further venture, and in the providence of God a very appropriate place has been found just at the right time.
