OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

THE Opera House in Santa Ana, Cal., has been secured by Brother W. A. Simpson for a two months' series of meetings.

A NEW house of worship was dedicated at Perkins, Okla., May 20. The services were conducted by Brethren A. E. Field and J. R. Bagby.

THE following camp-meetings are announced for the Southwestern Union Conference: Alvarado, Texas, August 2-12; Winslow, Ark., August 16-26; Kingfisher, Okla., August 23 to September 2.

AFTER holding a few meetings with the church at Leavings, Alberta, recently, Brother J. W. Boynton had the privilege of baptizing six young converts. The brethren there also voted to establish a church school.

JUNE 16, four converts were baptized in San Diego, by Brother W. M. Healey. We are informed that the seating capacity of the San Diego church is taxed to its utmost to accommodate the Sabbath audiences.

A TEACHERS' institute for Southern California Conference will be held at Fernando Academy, July 30 to August 13. The list of teachers will include Professors W. E. Howell, E. S. Ballenger, and E. D. Sharpe, also Sisters Sarah Peck and Grace O'Neil.

A SECOND series of lectures at Bath, N. Y., by Brother J. S. and Sister Lulu Wightman, is said to be calling out encouraging attendance. They report that sixteen persons have accepted the message. One of these, a talented young lady, is preaching the Word in a union church. They also report the circulation of 200,000 pages of literature, eight subscriptions for the SIGNS, and numerous articles in the papers.

WE have received the Fifth Annual Announcement of the Elk Point (S. D.) Industrial Academy for 1906-07. It is a neat pamphlet of 24 pages, illustrated by views of the buildings and premises, and containing such information as patrons and prospective patrons will desire. The full term of the school will commence September 26. Address Wm. H. Twining, Business Manager, for copy of announcement, or other business.

BROTHER G. W. REASER, president of Southern California Conference, writes: “The general camp-meeting for Southern California will be held in the suburbs of Los Angeles, August 16-26. It will be necessary for all of our churches to select delegates for this meeting so that we will be prepared to act upon all business matters that may come before the body. Our churches are entitled to one delegate to represent the organization, and one additional delegate for every twenty-five members.”

WE have several times noted the missionary spirit of conferences in sending laborers to other fields and paying their salaries, but it remained for South Dakota Conference to part with their highly-prized president in this way. It has been decided to send Brother C. A. Burman to Alberta, Canada, and support him financially in that field. Brother E. G. Hayes, who in his younger days was a canvasser in California, has been chosen president of South Dakota to succeed Brother Burman.
