OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

By Editor

NEW YORK CONFERENCE is putting six tents in the field this season.

ELDER O. A. JOHNSON reports twenty-five converts at Green Bay, Wis.

JUNE 6 is set for the dedication of the new house of worship at Darien Center, N. Y.

BROTHER ABEL GREGORY reports the recent addition of six members to the church at Austin, Texas.

A CHURCH of twenty-five members was organized at Wautoma, Wis., May 2, by Elder Wm. Covert, president of the conference.

IT has been decided at Union College, College Place, Neb., to discard all text-books containing pagan or infidel sentiments, and to give the Bible the leading place in every line of study.

ELDER C. A. HALL reports to the Review the dedication of a new house of worship at Kingston, Jamaica, on the 11th of April. In connection with the meeting eleven persons were baptized, and sixteen united with the church.

FROM Blossburg, Ala., where Elder W. Woodford has been laboring, we learn that there is now a church of between thirty and forty members, and a Sabbath-school of forty-five members. A new house of worship is in process of construction.

ELDER S. THURSTON reports the result of ten weeks' labor in Orange County, Cal., as follows: "I baptized 35; 43 persons united with the churches: Garden Grove, 15; Centralia, 26; and Santa Ana, 2." As the result of a recent effort near Centralia, 11 accepted the truth.

ANOTHER case of a "union" meeting-house being denied to Adventist ministers when the people begin to be really interested recently occurred at Ottervale, Wis. But Elder W. S. Shreve and Brother M. N. Campbell were not to be outdone in that way. They pitched a tent, and the interest continues.

AT the camp-meeting held at Point Pleasant, W. Va., the following good resolution was adopted:—

Resolved, That we recommend that our Sabbath-schools and churches on convenient occasions assemble together in the woods, or by the lakes, or in some appropriate place where nature speaks most grandly of her Author, and that such times be devoted to rejoicing in the Lord and becoming better acquainted with each other.

ELDER WM. INGS, a long-tried and faithful laborer, died at St. Helena, Cal., May 19, at the age of sixty-two years. He embraced the Seventh-day Adventist faith twenty-seven years ago, and had been an active laborer in the cause most of the time since. He and his companion were twice sent on missions across the Atlantic, laboring in England (his native land) and on the continent. California has been his field since 1882, where every branch of the cause has had the benefit of his painstaking integrity. At the time of his death he was acting as business manager of Healdsburg College. "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth; Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them."
