OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

By Editor

A LOCAL camp-meeting is announced for Oxford, Neb., August 28 to September 2.
NINE adult converts are reported in connection with the work at Readstown, Wis.
SIX persons have accepted the truth as presented by Brother J. J. Hughes, at Ponca, Neb.
AT Trinidad, Colo., three young persons were recently baptized by Brother H. L. Hoover.
A COLPORTER wagon has been started on its mission in Idaho, under the management of Brother Fee.
MEETINGS held at Greeley, Colo., by Brother W. Zeigler, have resulted in twelve adherents to the faith.
THE fall term of Walla Walla College will open September 12. Prof. T. H. Starbuck reports a good prospect for a large attendance.
THE opening of the next term of Union College, at College View, Neb., has been set for September 19. Send to Prof. W. T. Bland for the College Year Book.
THREE more members were added to the church at Syracuse, N. Y., on the 4th inst., by baptism. Brother A. O. Burrill has been laboring in that city, and a good interest has been manifested for some time, with good results. Two additional elders, two deacons, and two deaconesses have been necessary in order to properly look after the increased interest of the growing church and its work.
AT the recent camp-meeting held at Hot Springs, South Dakota, twenty-three persons were baptized.
THE California Tract Society includes seventy-four local societies. They take in clubs 5,000 copies of the SIGNS OF THE TIMES weekly. The number of other periodicals taken regularly aggregates 7,000. This does not include the various tract libraries taken and circulated.
IN the Indicator of the 8th inst. Brother G. B. Thompson, president of New York Conference, notes the baptism of twelve candidates at Gorham, and the organization of a church of seventeen members. These results had been largely due to the labors of Brother and Sister Wightman.
AT Mission, B. C., a church of twelve members was recently organized by Brethren J. L. Wilson and George Squire. A half dozen others are keeping the Sabbath of the Lord who have not yet united with the church. The laborers here mentioned are now working in the suburbs of Vancouver.
WITH rare exception, our brethren have approved our plan to raise the subscription price of the SIGNS, because of the increased cost of production, and because it is deemed very cheap even at the advanced rate. At the last session of California Conference, the following resolution received hearty support:—
WHEREAS, Our pioneer missionary paper, the SIGNS OF THE TIMES, has been published at great loss to the office of publication, on account of the great increase in the price of paper, and the improvements that have been made; therefore,
Resolved, That we approve of the action of the publishers in increasing the regular subscription price from $1.00 to $1.50 per year, and also the proposed increase in club rates.
Even at the advanced rates there are few religious papers carrying so much reading matter and so little advertising, that are furnished at the price of the SIGNS.
ONE hundred young men and women can be admitted to the Chicago Medical Missionary Training School between now and the 1st of November. The opportunities that are afforded in this school for an all-around missionary training are unsurpassed. The hours from 8 to 10 each forenoon are selected for thoroughgoing class work. The remainder of the day is used in various ways to put into actual practice what has been learned. Thoroughly consecrated men and women can begin their missionary experience upon the day of their arrival. The expenses for board and room are $1.75 per week. Willing and aggressive workers can, in most instances, secure opportunities to earn their way. Such incidental expenses as will be necessary for books, clothing, etc., must be assumed by the student. Write for application blanks and further information, also mention the names of several leading workers in the cause to whom we can write for recommendations. Address all communications to Chicago Medical Missionary Training School, 1926 Wabash Avenue, Chicago, Ill.
