OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

By Editor

TENT-MEETINGS were commenced at Prescott, A. T., on the 4th inst., by Elders Geo. O. States and W. L. Iles.

THE officers elected by Minnesota Conference at its recent session are: President, C. W. Flaiz; vice-president, Fred Johnson; secretary, D. P. Curtis; treasurer, C. M. Everest.

ELDER J. G. WOOD reports nine converts in connection with meetings held in Cincinnati. He also reports preaching by invitation in a Baptist Church at Springfield, O., and that the pastor and several of his flock are now keeping the Sabbath of the Lord.

THIRTY persons have covenanted to keep the commandments of God, as a result of meetings held at Levey, near Des Moines, Iowa, by Brethren F. A. Washburn and C. T. Adams.

SISTER FARNSWORTH reports to the Sabbath School Worker that in the Sabbath-school at Christchurch, N. Z., there are thirty children, most of whom are not children of Sabbath-keepers.

AFTER the camp-meeting proper, recently held in this city, the camp was not altogether broken up until one week after the advertised date for closing. The time was occupied in various ways,—by the conference committee in laying out the season's work; by instruction for canvassers, Bible workers, and other laborers; and by earnest seeking for a closer walk with God. There are many testimonies to the good results of these after-services and experiences.

A BROTHER on the island of Trinidad is undergoing a sentence of forty-two days' imprisonment because he declined to appear in a case in court on the Sabbath day. The judge offered him another trial, but the law fixes the holding of the court on the Sabbath day, and he told the judge that he would rather take the punishment, although unjust, than to disobey God. Through the influence of the truth upon the minds of legislators, under the labors of Elder E. W. Webster, efforts of leading churchmen to secure more stringent Sunday laws have been frustrated.

ELDER F. H. WESTPHAL, reporting to the Review from Argentina, S. America, notes the baptism of four candidates at San Cristobal; the organization of a church of twenty members at Felicia; the conversion of nine persons and the organization of a church of twelve members at Las Tunas; the addition of three members to the church at Crespo; organization of a church of seven members at Las Garzas. A mission school is also in progress at this place. In Buenos Ayres a Sabbath-school has been established in one part of the city and a Sunday-school in another part. Brother Westphal says of the Argentina field that there are now 7 churches, with a membership of 220. One of these churches was organized with 12 members, April 17, at Las Tunas.
