OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

THE Central California camp-meeting is set for April 22 to May 2, but the place has not yet been designated.

ELDER L. R. CONRADI says: “We have now two strong companies at Rotterdam and Amsterdam, the two leading cities of Holland.”

AT Baker City, Oregon, where Elder H. W. Decker has been laboring with marked success, the brethren are contemplating the erection of a new house of worship.

TIDINGS from Cardiff, Wales, state that Elder J. S. Washburn has been conducting meetings in a hall next to the largest in the city, and has been favored with large audiences, so large that many could not gain access to the hall.

ON Sabbath, the 20th inst., nine persons were baptized in the San Francisco church, by Elder E. E. Andross. Most of these were the fruits of the special meetings held on Market Street by Elders Andross and H. H. Dexter.

THIRTY-THREE periodicals are now published by Seventh-day Adventists in this and foreign countries. This does not include the small conference papers, which are printed merely as instruments of communication between laborers and news budgets regarding local work.

ON Sabbath, April 3, the donations in all our churches outside of California will be devoted to the support of the Haskell Home for Orphans, at Battle Creek, Mich. The family now numbers over 100 persons. The donations in California go to the Home of the Friendless, a local institution.

BROTHER G. T. KERR, missionary to Cape Coast, West Africa, writes to the Review: “We have all been sick. Brother Hale and I had fever last week, but I managed to work most of the time. Brother Hale is now well. My wife is able to be up and take charge of her school. . . . You see we work, get sick, get well, go to work again, and so on; still the work is onward and upward on the West Coast. Our house is advancing slowly.”

THE Minnesota Conference was highly complimented by the recent General Conference, which drew from it for other fields the president and treasurer of the conference; the president, secretary, and treasurer of the sabbath-school association; assistant secretary of the tract society, and three members of the Conference Committee. It is evidence of good work in a conference when so many leading ones can be spared for labor elsewhere. It should be the aim in every locality to be ready for any emergency.
