OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

By Editor

THE Lake Union Conference is to be held at Berrien Springs, Mich., May 17-27.

THE baptism of two candidates at Little Rock, Ark., by the local elder of the church, is noted in the Union Record.

THE Southern Illinois Herald says that the church at Decatur "numbers twenty-two in good standing, all women and youth."

ON the 26th ult., a church of nineteen members was organized at Farmington, Ill., by Brethren J. M. Rees and M. G. Huffman.

A church of sixteen members was organized at Peru, Ind., March 20, by Brother W. J. Stone, president of the conference.

THE labors of Brother E. Chase, near Langdon, N. D., have called out four more Sabbath keepers. The company now numbers about thirty.

A REPORT in the Minnesota Worker, from Brother L. H. Christian, notes the baptism of thirty-three persons in connection with his work in Denmark during the past winter.

FIFTY thousand prison cells in this country will be visited by copies of the April number of the Life Boat. These ought to make some impression for good, and no doubt they will.

BROTHER H. R. JOHNSON, of Wisconsin Conference, has been on a visit of several weeks to the Pacific Coast, and has been a caller at this office, where his son is engaged in labor.

A FORMER preacher among the free Lutherans of Norway has recently accepted the Adventist faith in Brooklyn, N. Y., and contemplates a preparation for carrying the truth to his former countrymen.

WRITING from Cripple Creek, Colo., Brother C. H. Bates says: "Five were baptized here February 14 and two on March 6. Others have accepted the Sabbath of the Lord who have not yet been baptized."

WRITING from Ivy, Idaho, Brother F. D. Starr says: "March 27 I had the privilege of baptizing three young people here about eighteen years of age. These, with three others, united with the Troy church."

THE Avondale School, Cooranbong, N. S. W., is designed for a missionary school, and Brother J. E. Fulton, in the Union Conference Record, notes that at a recent baptismal service, eleven candidates received the ordinance.

THE Review states that on Christmas night, by the light of a lantern, Brother B. G. Wilkinson baptized three candidates in a stream in eastern France. Three others were soon to follow in the ordinance as a result of the week of prayer meetings.

WE recently noted the call of Prof. W. A. Colcord, of College View, Neb., to Washington, D. C., to engage in religious liberty work. Later we learned that Brother Allen Moon, president of Northern Illinois Conference, has also been requested to engage in that line of work. Both these brethren are well fitted by long experience for such labor.

ONE of the recommendations of the late Central Union Conference was that Brother A. C. Anderson, of Nebraska, go to the new province of Alberta, Canada, to engage in labor among the Scandinavians. There are now between fifty and sixty thousand of this class of people in that province, and a continued heavy influx from Scandinavian countries.
