OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

By Editor

THE Chicago South Side church school has commenced another term.
A CANVASSERS' school is to be held at College View, Neb., the coming winter, beginning January 1.
THE Medford, Minn., church held a school session last winter, and will hold another term the coming winter.
FOUR converts are reported by Brother Covyeou, at South Bethel, Me., where a Sabbath-school of fifteen members was recently organized.
THREE have taken their stand at Brunswick, Me., to "keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus."
THREE converts are reported at Blue Lake, Cal., under the labors of Brother H. F. Courter and company.
A CHURCH school is now in operation at Joplin, Mo. Other schools are soon to begin, at Tarsney, Carthage, and Rockville.
SIXTEEN converts are reported at Mokane, Mo., where Brethren H. M. Stewart and R. C. Porter have been holding a series of meetings.
AT the last quarterly meeting at Hetherell, Minn., three names were added to the church roll. A house of worship is being erected by the brethren at this place.
A CHURCH of nine members was organized at Revere, Minn., October 15, by Brethren A. Mead and M. B. Van Kirk. Six others subsequently united by letter.
AT Deadwood, S. D., where Brother J. H. Wheeler has been laboring, five have recently accepted the faith, and the company are arranging to build a house of worship.
AT the Mount Vernon, Ill., camp-meeting, held September 14-22, fourteen candidates were baptized. The meeting was not large, but deeply interesting and profitable, in various ways.
THE addition of six members to the church at Oakdale, Neb., is reported by Brother George H. Smith. He also notes a good interest at Plainview, where it is expected soon to organize a church.
SEPTEMBER 30, thirteen members of the Brooklyn, N. Y., English Church were granted letters to form a new organization in another part of the city; and Sabbath, October 7, this organization was perfected.
THE use of the Mill Creek Baptist Church, near Mill Springs, Mo., was recently granted to Brother W. S. Cruzan, for a series of meetings, the pastor giving up the time of his own regular appointment.
A CHURCH was organized at Wheeling, W. Va., September 30, by Brother S. M. Cobb, president of the conference. There were nine members at the organization, but five others, unable to be present, waited another opportunity to unite with the church.
AT Lathrop, Cal., a Sabbath-school of twenty-six members has been organized in connection with the work of Brother J. H. Watson and wife and Brother C. N. Miller. They also have children's and young people's meetings Sunday afternoon, with good attendance.
OF the Scandinavian work at Battle Lake, Minn., Brother L. H. Christian writes to the Worker: "The English Methodists have given me the free use of their church building for a series of Scandinavian meetings, with the understanding that an English service shall be interspersed now and then."
OUR State conference papers, as also the Review and Herald, Youth's Instructor, and American Sentinel, are doing nobly in the way of bringing our World's Harvest special edition to the notice of the people. We very much appreciate their help and wish them all the blessing their liberality deserves.
A LUNCH-ROOM and free reading-room, where lunches will be served at one cent a dish, will be opened after November 2, at 609 Lake Street, between East Clinton and Fourth Streets, Elmira, N. Y. It is called the Home Mission. We hope it may be the means of pointing many to the higher, better home.
BROTHER ROBERT T. NASH, writing of his experience at Columbus, Miss., says: "I have had two trials for Sunday labor. At the time of my first trial there was not an Adventist in the community. Now we have there a neat little house of worship, with a good church membership and a church school, and are in need of a self-sacrificing teacher, who has been with Jesus and learned of Him." Tho others may not envy him, or court his experience, he certainly has no reason to regret it.
THE recent camp-meeting at Kingfisher, Oklahoma, was a signal success. Among other good results was the baptism of forty-five candidates, still others deferring the ordinance until arriving at their homes. The Gleaner notes that "there were nearly nine hundred people camped on the ground. Over four hundred dollars was given to foreign missions. Four hundred and sixty dollars was taken in cash and pledges for the Conference building now being put up in Oklahoma City. Nearly three hundred dollars was given to Keene Academy, and we understand that nearly two hundred was pledged to the Keene Sanitarium."
