OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

By Editor

ON July 8, eight members were added to the church in Wyandotte, Kan., making seventeen since April last.

A REPORT of Brother J. B. Ashcraft notes the baptism of three candidates at Sawyer, Kansas, and two at Medicine Lodge.

FROM Ironton, Ohio, Brother C. P. Haskell writes, under date of July 23, that twenty-eight persons began the observance of the Lord's Sabbath.

A SWEDISH Sabbath-school of twelve members was organized at Wahoo, Neb., July 29, by Brother W. O. Johnson, who is laboring exclusively among the Swedish people.

MEETINGS held in Argentine, Kansas, by Brethren R. W. Parmele and D. E. Huffman, had to be closed on account of sickness, after six had accepted the truths presented.

MINNESOTA Conference reports 122 Sabbath-schools, with a membership of 3,112. The City Bank, of Minneapolis, which failed a few years ago, has liquidated its entire indebtedness to the Minnesota Conference by payment in full, and interest amounting to about $400.

THE New York Press notes the erection of one of our tents in that city, with seating accommodation for 1,200 people, and the attendance was so great that hundreds more had to stand during the service. The latest report we had from the work was that about fifty had accepted the truths presented.

A COLPORTOR, writing to the Review from Oklahoma, says: "In 30 days' time I have taken 154 orders for 'Desire of Ages,' being 5 orders a day; besides $64 worth of helps, the orders amounting in all to $536, or $17.80 per day besides the helps. The 'Desire of Ages' is the most wonderful book I ever saw."

A REPORT from Brother W. Woodford notes the addition of six to the ranks of those who adhere to the "commandments of God and the faith of Jesus," at Fort Payne, Fla. A like number had been added to the church at Citronelle. Also that the State camp-meeting was well attended, and the Lord visited His people.

FROM Brother C. E. Knight, who has been laboring at Red Bluff, Cal., we have this brief testimonial: "Our papers are most valuable aids in introducing our work and in gaining attention; especially is this so of the Signs." This is true in every feature of our work, at least such is the testimony of all who have faithfully tried it.

REFERRING to a late camp-meeting in Texas, the Dallas News says: "The Adventists have left behind them an excellent record. All who visited the camp say there was more discipline, closer attention to religious matters, and less unnecessary talk than was ever observed before in a camp of like size. It was a well-regulated family, founded in love."
