OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

THE baptism of six converts at Wurtsboro, N. Y., is reported by Brethren W. A. Westworth and W. W. Wheeler.

ELDER S. M. COBB reports the baptism of three persons in connection with the quarterly meeting services at Dickinson Center, N. Y.

A RECENT report says that “the work in the city of Louisville [Ky.] is moving along nicely; about thirty have come out under the labors of Elder Collie and other workers.”

THE Missouri conference has chosen officers for the ensuing conference year as follows: President, W. S. Hyatt; Secretary, James Cochran; Treasurer, W. B. Tovey. At the recent meeting of the conference it was recommended to station two or more Bible workers in the city of St. Louis.

ELDER R. S. OWEN reports that the work in the Los Angeles, Cal., district is quite prosperous. New ones are taking their stand for the truth, and others are becoming interested. Three at Norwalk, six at Los Angeles, and one at Pasadena are especially mentioned. The Bible workers at Los Angeles report many interested readers. The camp meeting in that city opens on the date of this paper.

A REPORT concerning the Walla Walla College says that at the close of the first month of the present term there was an attendance of 144 students. Nearly every one is studying Bible or sacred history. “One feature of the school that has been a source of encouragement is the number of young men and women of mature minds who are planning to go into the work in a very short time.”

THE secretary of the Florida conference says that, “beginning with the freeze of last winter, a series of disasters seems to have come upon our work; . . . yet there have been more brought to a knowledge of the truth we hold so dear this year than any previous year.” When the Lord’s people shall have fully learned that he is not dependent upon circumstances that to men appear most favorable, they will learn to walk and work by faith and not by sight. And then they will see results that they have hardly dreamed of as yet.

TENT meetings were inaugurated at Sheridan, Wyoming, on the 8th ult., by Elder O. S. Ferren and Brother H. F. Ketring. With a new and comfortable tent, and a good-sized and interested audience, the brethren report encouraging prospects in this new field.

IN advocating the holding of a camp meeting in Florida, Elder Geo. I. Butler recalls some experience in Kansas, and says: “I have known families in that conference to come 400 miles with teams to attend camp meeting, and they went away expressing their great gratitude to God for the privilege they had enjoyed, and said they were more than paid for all their labor and expense.”
