Our Work and Workers

NINE have been added to the church at Lone Star, Texas, and two have been baptized at Keltys.

Two families have accepted the message as the result of home Bible studies at Fitchburg, Massachusetts.

SIXTEEN souls were recently baptized at Tinnevelli in India. Of this number thirteen came from practical heathenism.

At Clovis, New Mexico, where protracted meetings have been held by Brethren Benton and Moody, a church has been organized.

Two families have been added to the company at Tolstoy, South Dakota. The believers there have been organized into a church.

Good reports come from Colo, Fiji, telling of additions to the church in that part. During the past three months twelve have been baptized.

Two young men were baptized and two other persons united with the faith at the conclusion of a series of meetings near Petersburg, Indiana.

THE annual report of the Wales Conference says that during the past year their membership has quadrupled, increasing from sixty-four to two hundred and thirty-three.

THREE converts are reported at Seward, Nebraska. One family have accepted the message at Bertrand, and three persons at Red Cloud. At Sterling, three have received baptism.

A SISTER in Great Britain recently sent to the General Conference an offering of $1,000 for the cause in Singapore, Straits Settlements. This will greatly augment the work there.

A REPORT from Joliet, Illinois, says: "From six to twelve are asking for baptism; and as soon as the candidates have been instructed and examined, the baptismal rite will be performed."

IN Catholic Austria we have three hundred believers, seventy-six having been baptized during the last six months. In spite of the present restrictions, the Lord is opening up the way to both the preacher and the canvasser.

ELDER D. A. PARSONS, new president of the Utah Conference, writes: "The whole field is taking a new interest in the work of soul winning, and our workers are reporting growing interests in all parts of the field. Several have taken their stand for the message since I came."

THROUGH the recent organization of the Carterville, Illinois, company, twenty-five members united in church fellowship, pledging their allegiance to the principles of the covenant. "After the service," reads the report, "we all went to the water, and witnessed four, in the vigor of their manhood, follow their Lord into the watery grave and then arise to walk in the new life. There will be eight more, at least, to take this step when the weather is warmer."

AN interesting report from Brother A. N. Allen, from Peru, South America, reads: "Tho we have had wars and rumors of wars, and fightings within and without, God has blessed His cause in this land of the ancient sun-worshiping Incas. Thus far thirty-four have been baptized this year, all but one coming directly from the Roman Church. Recently in Puno, Brother Stahl and I were met by crowds of Indians carrying flags, and hundreds came out to hear the Word, coming for leagues over the Andes Mountains and across the plains. Large numbers escorted us from one town to another, and I preached in one Catholic church. Fifteen of the Indians were baptized."
