PROF. C. B. HUGHES and wife, late of College Place, Wash., have gone to Cleburne, Texas, to connect with the new academy now ready for opening. Prof. J. C. Rogers and wife, also of College Place, have gone to Cape Town, Africa, to labor in the college at that place.

THE Workers' Bulletin gives an encouraging report of the Conference in District No. 4, at Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, December 12-18. Minnesota, Wisconsin, Dakota, Nebraska, and Iowa sent full delegations. Elder J. H. Durland, the superintendent, presided. Elder A. J. Breed, superintendent of District No. 5, and several Conference presidents from the same district, were present. The following were among the important subjects considered: Plans of work, missionary work, Sabbath school work, church work, devotional exercises, health and temperance, home religion, caring for the poor, church organization, canvassing work, and improvement of the ministry. The greatest harmony prevailed, and the leadings of the Spirit of God were manifest. Daily Bible instruction was given by Elder Durland on the work of the Holy Spirit. Steps were taken looking toward the building of a home for the aged and worthy poor.
