OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

By Editor

AT the last quarterly meeting of the church in Newburg, W. Va., seven members were added.

THE addition of three members to the church at Cary, Me., is reported by Brother P. B. Osborne.

THREE converts comprise the report of manifest results of meetings held at Newton, Iowa, by Brother B. L. Dieffenbacher.

BROTHER W. B. EVERHART has the use of the United Brethren Church building, near Darbyville, Iowa, for a series of meetings.

OUR State agent in Nebraska says, in the Reporter, "I am leaving some in every church at work with THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES."

IN a schoolhouse four miles from Volga, Iowa, Brethren C. J. Buhalts and U. P. Long have been holding meetings, and as progress in the work report four adherents.

SABBATH-SCHOOL conventions are coming to the front in several conferences, and all the reports we have seen indicate that the schools concerned in them are the recipients of marked encouragement.

THE first church school under the auspices of Keene (Texas) Industrial Academy was started in December, at Talala, Indian Territory. The brethren erected a neat building, and the school was opened with eighteen pupils.

AT Bettinger, W. Va., President S. M. Cobb recently held a few meetings in connection with Brother Gardner, with the result that six persons accepted the doctrines advanced, and a Sabbath-school of thirteen members was organized.

BROTHER O. O. FARNSWORTH notifies us that the church in Boston, Mass., is located at 36 Bromfield Street. Sabbath-school, at 10 A.M.; other services, at 11:30. Brother Farnsworth is elder of the church, and his residence is 52 Rush Street, East Somerville, Mass. The work there is encouraging.

A SPECIAL week of prayer was held in the Seventh-day Adventist Church of Delta, Colo., from the 1st to the 7th of this month. Brother Isaac D. Rowell writes that "the meetings were well attended both morning and evening during the entire week; and from each meeting every one went home feeling that God had especially blessed him individually, and that the Holy Spirit had rested upon all."

THE brethren at Bern, Kansas, are desirous of opening a helping hand reading-room at Pawnee City, Neb., where literature pertaining to the truths we are giving to the world will be available to the public. They ask for donations or the loan of books and periodicals to enable them to carry out this purpose. Address O. S. Runyan, Bern, Nemaha County, Kansas; or, James C. Nichols, Pawnee City, Pawnee County, Neb.

IN our Oklahoma paper, The Gleaner, of the 4th inst., is a good report of the Bethel Mission, at Guthrie, from Brother A. W. Jenson. At the time of the report the mission was six weeks old, and there had been some interesting experiences. "During this time we have given free 76 meals, 36 lodgings, and 18 baths, besides other treatments. We have many interesting experiences. Three have been converted and quite a few convicted. One man whom we found paralyzed in limbs and left arm from sciatic rheumatism, has been with us four weeks, and we had to erect for his treatment a hot-air cabinet. He is improving steadily but slowly, and we will have to keep him until warm weather at least. He is penniless and friendless. We have gone before the police court and rescued men from the rock quarry. To-day we saw an officer leading a boy from Missouri, fifteen years old, to the lockup, and, finding him guilty only of vagrancy and beer-drinking, we requested him turned over to us. So, in place of being in the lockup, he is now asleep in our apartments while we are writing this."
