Our Work and Workers

By Editor

PASTOR D. ISAAK writes from Sebastopol, Crimea, of the progress of the work since its inception there years ago. At present they have a good Russian church of seventy-two members, and fifteen others have requested baptism. The work continues to grow, and he anticipates that soon they will have a hundred members.

WE learn that by a slight change in name and in the manner of carrying on its work, the tract society at Riga, Russia, may continue its work undisturbed. The former association was dissolved and a private firm formed, which arrangement is agreeable to the Russian authorities. This is another evidence of God's special care over the work in that difficult field.

L. O. MACHLAM, of South Lancaster Academy, Massachusetts, sailed from New York September 14 for the Bermuda Islands, where he will engage in educational work. On the 19th, Brother G. A. Hamilton and family, of California, sailed from New York for India. After attending the annual meeting of the India Mission in Calcutta, they will proceed to Burma, where they will work among the Karens. Mrs. A. Ruoff, also of California, sailed the 7th for Calcutta, India, whence she will go to Burma, to engage in self-supporting mission work. Another party, consisting of Pastor M. D. Wood and family and Brother and Sister V. E. Peugh, also sailed early in the month for India. Brother and Sister Wood have been in India before, and are now returning to their chosen field of labor. Brother and Sister Peugh go in response to an urgent call for help among the Tamils of South India. Prof. H. U. Stevens and wife, of College View, Nebraska, sailed the latter part of August for Argentina, South America, Professor Stevens answering a call for a principal for the River Plate Academy at Diamante, Entre Rios, the training school for South America. Brother and Sister B. P. Hoffman, of Kent, Washington, sailed from San Francisco early in August for Japan, to enter evangelistic work.
