OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

A STATE meeting of the Colorado brethren will be held at Denver, April 4–11.
A NEW house of worship has been erected by the church at Williamstown, N. Y.
BROTHER B. W. MARSH reports that “thirteen are standing on the Word” as the result of meetings held at Montrose, Colo.
THE new church building at Arroyo Grande, Cal., is about finished, and will shortly be dedicated.
AN addition of six persons to our ranks at Portland, Iowa, is the report of Brother Henry Johnson.
MEETINGS held at Williamsburg, Colo., by Brother M. Mackintosh, closed with eight additions to the Master’s army.
ON the 9th inst. five candidates—four young men and one young lady—were baptized and added to the church in this city.
A SABBATH-SCHOOL of twenty-eight members has been organized near Doud’s Station, Iowa, under the labors of Brother F. L. Moody.
BROTHER C. SANTEE, president of Iowa Conference, and the brethren in Des Moines, are looking up a location for mission work in that city.
A SABBATH-SCHOOL of thirteen members has been organized at Middletown, Lake County, Cal., with Brother A. L. Anthony as superintendent. A free reading-room has also been established in the town, of which he is a trustee, and our periodicals and health literature are desired for its tables.
NINE members were added to the church at Los Angeles, Cal., on the 12th ult. The Sunday Times, a journal of wide influence in that city, recently published an illustrated article giving a fair representation of our faith and work, which has been the means of stirring up considerable interest in further investigation.
THE brethren in Butte, Mont., are taking the preliminary steps toward establishing a Helping Hand Mission in that city. Whoever wants to help is asked by Brother C. N. Martin to communicate with Mrs. C. G. Allen, 517 Galena Street. In the matter of the new church building just about completed there, Brother Stone says “the citizens have contributed liberally toward the building.”
BROTHER P. S. OLSEN, formerly of Minnesota Conference, is now in Winnipeg, Manitoba, engaged in religious liberty work. As the Legislature is in session there, and a strong effort is being made to secure a provincial Sunday law, he will find plenty to do. The advocates of the law are very active in the circulation of petitions, and the sentiment is said to be even stronger than in the United States, but as yet they have only municipal laws on the subject.
BROTHER J. H. DURLAND says, in Field Echoes, that “recently our brethren in London, Ontario, have organized a company for the purpose of manufacturing health foods, and for the past few months have been purchasing machinery, and fitting up a building. March 1 everything was in readiness to start the machinery, and as the enterprise was for the purpose of helping to carry forward the message, it was thought advisable to have a short dedicatory service before the machinery was put into operation.”
FROM Field Echoes we clip the following good point, contributed by Brother J. D. Cowell: “One of the families of the church [at Grand Rapids, Mich.], greatly esteemed by all, was about to move away, and the church-members thought to give them a surprise by all taking a basket well filled with food and having a feast at this brother’s house. After they had all come together, it was suggested that, as none present were in need of food which the baskets contained, it could be better used to the glory of God by searching out families who were in need, and supplying them. The plan was heartily adopted, and it is hardly necessary to state that many hearts were made glad by this effort, and that in the young people’s meeting, held the next evening, many blessed experiences were related. And the end is not yet, for the good work goes on.”
