OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

By Editor

ON account of failing health, Brother and Sister Kneeland have been compelled to return from British Guiana.

THE present officers of the Maine Conference are: President, H. C. Basney; secretary and treasurer, Eliza H. Morton.

A LETTER from London states that "Sabbath schools are springing up all over Great Britain; new ones are reported every quarter."

THE fact is being impressed upon our laborers that in the main more effectual labor can be done by house-to-house work and a judicious use of literature than by public services.

AS a result of labor among the Germans at Ackley, Iowa, by Brother Martin Stuckrath, seven persons have accepted the Sabbath of the Lord, and a Sabbath school has been organized.

IN the midst of the turmoil of local riots and the perplexity of nations regarding Turkey, a Seventh-day Adventist Bible school is being conducted in Constantinople, and, under the providence of God, is unmolested.

THE camp-meeting recently held at Sacramento, Cal., was not as conspicuous in the matter of numbers as some of the earlier meetings, but those who attended report a very profitable occasion. The outside attendance was larger at the close than at the beginning.

OUR Sabbath schools where this paper is received prior to Sabbath, the 24th inst., are again reminded that the donations for that day go to the support of the work of the International Tract Society. They are also reminded that there is need of a liberal donation, for the work is pressing.

OUR London paper, the Present Truth, says: "We hear that the medical missionary of our society in Rarotonga has been requested to take charge of the government hospital in that island, which will doubtless give him better facilities for carrying on his work for the suffering, bodily and spiritually."

FRIENDS of the cause in Des Moines, Iowa, have forwarded a large box to Oakwood Industrial School at Huntsville, Ala., containing sheets, pillows, pillow-cases, comforts, table-cloths, towels, clothing, and dried fruit; also a washing machine, cooking utensils, etc. We learn that the Davenport friends are doing likewise. The Iowa brethren have a special interest in the school, from the fact that Brother S. M. Jacobs, superintendent of the institution, was a former pillar in that conference.
