OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

By Editor

THE World's Harvest double number, with illuminated cover, of date November 29, is well designed to give an unprecedented impetus not only to the "SIGNS work" itself, but to all lines of our work. The results of this effort will be in proportion to the active interest taken in its circulation. Our brethren should remember that it stands for the two issues of November 29 and December 6. There will be no paper printed for the latter date. Bear this in mind in ordering, and order for two weeks' work, even if it be not intended to do extra work with it.

WE have received volume 1, number 1, of The Helping Hand, a monthly magazine, published in connection with the Helping Hand and Medical Mission, 641-647 Commercial Street, San Francisco, Cal. This initial number shows very neat typography, and contains interesting matter pertinent to the work of the mission. The cover design shows a street scene in the vicinity of the mission itself. The price of the magazine (16 pages and cover) is only 25 cents a year. By subscribing you will get more than the worth of your money, besides helping the mission.

REFERRING to the new sanitarium at Des Moines, Iowa, the Bulletin says: "The sanitarium is now open for patients. Several are already availing themselves of the benefits to be obtained, and those who have been waiting for its completion need wait no longer. A consecrated corps of nurses have been selected to administer to the wants of the patients. It is hoped that this institution, which has been planted for the Lord's work, will indeed prove a blessing to suffering humanity."

FROM Brother S. B. Horton, Lake Charles, La., we have the encouraging report that "one of our canvassers, as well as our Bible worker, has been doing good work with the SIGNS. From Northeast Louisiana especially, encouraging words come to us concerning souls who are accepting present truth through the SIGNS work. . . . I am interested in seeing the circulation of the SIGNS increased, for it is a most excellent medium with which to work on missionary lines."

NEW YORK CONFERENCE at its recent annual session adopted the following resolution:—

"Resolved, That we give more attention to the question of religious liberty, seeking to enlighten the people by every means, and encouraging the Religious Liberty Association in its work of caring for the families of the persecuted, and publishing and circulating literature, also becoming members of the association, and otherwise giving it our support."

A CHURCH has been organized in the vicinity of the new Woodland Academy, Wis., and a church school is to be started as soon as a building can be secured.

SEVEN converts are reported at Clear Lake, Wis., by Brethren N. P. Neilsen and J. B. Locken.

THREE candidates were recently baptized at Poysippi, Wis., by Brother J. N. Anderson.
