Our Work and Workers

By Editor

FOUR have accepted the message at Mason City, Iowa.

FOUR more persons have received the rite of baptism in Chicago.

THREE students at Decatur, Alabama, have made a firm decision for the truth.

DURING recent meetings in Brooklyn, New York, nineteen have been baptized, uniting with the faith.

FOUR adults have united with the church at Kalispell, Montana, and two others are expected to join soon.

THE First African S. D. A. Church of Philadelphia was organized recently with sixteen charter members.

FIVE have responded to the call of God as the result of Bible studies held in Schenectady, New York, recently.

THE address of Brother D. D. Butcher, formerly of Greenwood, Mississippi, now is 1857 53d Street, Los Angeles, California.

THREE young men and one young lady are rejoicing in the faith as the result of Bible work at North Yakima, Washington.

AT Norwood, Arkansas, twelve have been added to the church, nine through baptism. A church at Searcy has been reorganized.

FOUR more have decided to follow the Saviour and obey God's commandments in Boston, Massachusetts. Others are reported deeply interested, who it is expected will take their stand soon.

TWENTY-FOUR souls have taken their stand for the truth at Stanleyton, Virginia, as the result of a series of meetings at that place. Ten more are awaiting baptism. At Danville three have been baptized.

THE first shipment of our Spanish literature to Venezuela, South America, is on its way. It consists of 500 pounds of books. One thousand Spanish books and 14,500 tracts have been shipped to Peru. On the same boat two large cases of books go to Chile, and a later shipment is 1,500 pounds to Argentina. Thus, says the report, one after another the Latin republics are entered by our faithful canvassers.

FROM Punta Gorda, Florida, comes the following word: "I am pleased to report our work here. This is the first time that a real mission school has been established at this place, but I am receiving cooperation from the very best people of this little town. I opened school last autumn with five pupils, and the number has increased to twenty-nine. The parents seem to be delighted with the advancement the children have made in the past four months."

THE following extracts were taken from a letter written by Brother C. Sparks, Chang-Sha, Hunan, China: "Since we came up here about four months ago there have been seventeen baptized, and there are others ready now. Just this morning our evangelist came in with a letter from a place in the south of the province. He says there are several there keeping the Sabbath and they are pleading for some one to come down and help them. At present we have so many calls that demand immediate attention that it will be impossible to get down there for some time. It is impossible to reach the best class of Chinese because of meager facilities, but we are rejoicing to see people taking hold of the truth."

Notwithstanding these encouraging words, Brother Sparks is living in a wretched building, and holding meetings out-of-doors in very unfavorable weather. He is patiently awaiting means, however, to better the conditions.
