OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

By Editor

A CAMP-MEETING is to be held at Adelaide, South Australia, from the 8th to the 18th of the present month.

PROF. W. W. PRESCOTT is now holding a Bible institute at Claremont, South Africa. The work was commenced August 14, to continue twelve weeks.

AUGUST 23 a church of eighteen members was organized at Binghamton, N. Y., by Elders S. M. Cobb and D. A. Ball. This addition was the result of tent meetings.

A BROTHER who attempted to go on a bicycle from Montana to the college at College Place, Wash., met snow eighteen inches deep the first day out, and was obliged to return home.

ELDER J. R. PALMER, who is laboring at Boulder, Mont., says: "We are having an exceptionally large attendance, and there is much talk during the day about our meetings. The people are very friendly. The Methodist and Baptist ministers have taken up their appointments Sunday evenings, and, so far, are regular attendants at our meetings, and assist in the opening exercises."

PROF. E. A. SUTHERLAND, president of Walla Walla College, writes concerning the opening of the fall term: "We have nearly one hundred and fifty students at this time. We have twelve tables in the Home, which will seat ninety. This includes some of the teachers. Last year we opened up with one hundred and thirteen, and sixty in the Home. You see we have been greatly blessed."

IN a recent issue we announced that Rev. C. F. Hawkins, a Wesleyan minister of Melbourne, had become a Seventh-day Adventist. He has issued "An Explanation" of his views in a supplement to the Bible Echo, addressed to his former brethren, the Wesleyan Methodists. It is a very candid document, a conscientious and lucid statement. Following is the closing paragraph:—

"Tho I am now a Seventh-day Adventist minister, and am very happy in the blessed work committed to my charge by God, I cherish no unkindly feeling toward the church of my youth. My only regret is that the love of God's truth should separate us. From my brethren in the ministry I have always had the most kindly consideration, and the most brotherly treatment. My best wish for them and for all my Wesleyan friends is, that soon they may see the truth as I am now able to see it, and be as happy as I am in the enjoyment of it. To all such may it some day be said, 'Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.'"
