Our Work and Workers

FIVE candidates have been baptized at New Rochelle, New York, four at Brooklyn, seven at Mechanicsville, three at South Onondaga, and four at Buffalo. Twelve more at the latter place, six at Elmira, nine at Brooklyn, and about twelve at Albany, have decided for the truth.

THE last Sabbath of the Nebraska camp-meeting, fifty-one persons were baptized. Pastor J. W. Christian reports the baptism of six willing candidates at Julian, and the conversion of fourteen at Williams. A church of sixteen members has been organized at Holbrook, and eight others have begun the observance of the commandments.

SISTER H. T. MOOR, 1619 Cypress St., Vancouver, British Columbia, writes: “I would be glad to express, through the columns of your paper, my thanks to our dear people for their generous response in the past to my appeal for literature for missionary purposes, and to beg a renewal of the same. My opportunities for giving the message are large here in this city, with heathen from all countries all about me, and my earnest desire is to put reading-matter in each house in Kitsiland, where I am living, a suburb of Vancouver. To that end I am working. I belong to a club here who are taking the SIGNS OF THE TIMES. With that, together with your leaflets, I am working, but I will need lots of ammunition to accomplish my end, and I am asking for help.”

PASTOR M. J. ALLEN, of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, reports the baptism of eight persons at that place, and this ordinance has been administered to four at Chatham. Three in St. Johns, Newfoundland, have commenced to obey the truth. Thirteen at Harvey Station, New Brunswick, have been baptized, and seven others are waiting to follow their example. At Stockholm, Saskatchewan, three have received the ordinance of baptism, and fifteen at the Saskatchewan camp-meeting. Eight or ten returned to their home churches to be baptized. At Kamloops, British Columbia, five new converts are reported, and seven at Nanaimo. At the latter place a company of twelve members was organized, four coming in by baptism. Six at Didsbury, Alberta, have received this rite, and four at Edmonton have expressed their intention of obeying the truth. Five at Morden, Manitoba, have been buried in baptism.
