OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

By Editor

A CAMP-MEETING will be held at Kingfisher, O. T., September 21 to October 2.

THERE is to be a camp-meeting at Columbus Junction, Iowa, September 26 to October 1.

As a result of tent work at Lewis, Cass County, Iowa, eight persons accepted the truth as presented by the laborers.

OHIO CONFERENCE has re-elected Brother R. R. Kennedy president. An additional German laborer has been placed in that field.

AT the recent Emerson, Kansas, camp-meeting five persons were baptized. A number of others deferred the ordinance until they should return to their homes. Elder J. W. Adams administered the baptism.

AT the recent State camp-meeting at Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, a collection was taken for the purpose of establishing a printing office and a broom factory at Mt. Vernon Academy, to give students opportunity to partially work their way in the school.

A NOTE from Brethren O. S. Ferren and C. H. Abbott, who labor in the Wyoming field, mentions a meeting on the banks of Green River. Their letter closes as follows: "August 23, standing close to the water's edge, we talked to those who were present, about baptism and a holy life, after which two candidates were buried with their Lord in baptism, in the beautiful river."

OUR brethren in Honolulu are encouraged in their Chinese school work by the action of the Chinese themselves in purchasing land and putting up a building. Prof. W. E. Howell recently arrived in California, to remain a short time, when he will return to the islands to further prosecute the work. Brother B. L. Howe, in a private letter to the editor, notes some encouraging features of the house-to-house work. He mentions the death of a native woman, which, it seems, might have been averted by a little knowledge of genuine health principles on the part of the doctor.

THE Mt. Vernon, Ohio, Visitor has this interesting item: "Brethren S. G. Haughey and Wm. Hutchinson recently closed a two weeks' meeting at Keady, Ireland. The people of the place had rented the largest hall there and invited them to come. They took up a collection the last evening of more than $50 and gave it to them, besides paying the rent for the hall, for the shipping of an organ, and had taken them out from the nearest railway station and back again; making an outlay of nearly $75. As there is much prejudice on the part of all denominations, so that anything out of the ordinary line is treated with contempt, it meant something for the leading business men of Keady to rent a hall and invite our workers there. But they saw that God had given them a message, and they desired to know more about it. As the farmers are very busy now, they requested the workers to return in the winter and spend several months with them, and they are planning to do so."
