OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

By Editor

As this paper goes to press a State camp-meeting is in progress at Des Moines, Iowa.
A report in The Advance mentions the baptism of five candidates at Ormondville, N. Z.
A Bible worker in Merrill, Wis., uses seventy-five copies of the SIGNS each week. She has sixty-five regular subscribers.
The Illinois Conference Committee are considering the matter of a church school, and have been looking for a location at Sheridan.
Three persons were recently added to the church at Missoula, Mont., having been baptized by Bro. W. B. White, president of the conference.
Brother D. A. Robinson is calling for additional help in India so that he can give more time to the study of the Hindu and Urdu languages, which he now reads quite readily. This seems necessary so that attention can be given to translating our tracts and books into these and other tongues.
Of the church in Napier, N. Z., Bro. E. W. Farnsworth says:
"Their rescue and Christian help work in connection with the Bethany Home has been blessed of God, and it has been a blessing to those who have engaged in it. Twenty-five women have here found a home for a longer or shorter time during the year. Some have found permanent situations where, through the blessing of God, they are leading an upward life."
Writing from Macon, Ga., Bro. D. M. Moore says:
"Our little tract and missionary society handled four hundred of the Resurrection number of the SIGNS. Sold them without any trouble, and could have sold a thousand if we had ordered them with the first lot. I was delighted with the special number, as were many others that I heard speak of it."
Several individuals and societies might have had better success with our "specials" if they had not been too timid about ordering early. Success in selling papers, as in everything else connected with the message, requires faith.
The Australian Union Conference will be held at Cooranbong, N. S. W., June 29 to July 17. This will be an occasion of special importance to our people in all Australasia, and of general interest to those of like faith in all the world.
