OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

By Editor

THE brethren at Everett, Wash., are erecting a new house of worship.
BROTHER C. NELSON mentions the baptism of two candidates at Lamberton, Minn.
THE baptism of nine candidates at Smith River, Cal., is reported by Brethren F. M. Burg and C. T. Everson.
THREE converts are reported at Redfield, S. D., where Brother W. G. Kneeland and others are laboring.
AUGUST 19 thirteen candidates were baptized at Omaha, Neb., making seventy-three who have united with that church within a few months.
FROM the Missionary Visitor we learn that fifteen persons have taken a stand for the truth at Pe Ell, Wash., where meetings have been held by Brethren S. W. Nellis and J. H. Hanson.
FOLLOWING the tent-meetings at Boulder Creek, Santa Cruz Co., Cal., ten persons were baptized, and at last report ten others had begun the observance of the Sabbath of the Lord.
A REPORT from St. Paul, Minn., by Brethren A. J. Stone and J. F. Anderson, notes the baptism of three persons, with four others who have decided to obey the truth. Still another who had been previously baptized had united with the church.
IT may seem insignificant to note that attendance at meetings held in a certain place was hindered by the mosquito pest. But mosquitoes are an agency of the enemy. They are bred from stagnation, and stagnation is a result of sin, which is the "transgression of the law" of God.
SEVERAL years ago an attempt was made to stamp out the Sabbath of the Lord in the vicinity of Springdale, Ark., by means of Sunday-law persecution. However, the effort signally failed, and we learn from the Reporter of August 29 that "the church school will begin Monday, October 1. The building is nearing completion, and will soon be ready for occupation."
THOSE who desire to attend, or ought to patronize, Graysville (Tenn.) Industrial School should know that the institution has natural advantages of climate and scenery, in a quiet, fertile valley, that are wanting in many college locations. Students who attend school surrounded by such influences will come out purer and better than if educated under the contaminating influences of city life.
AT the recent meeting of the Arkansas Conference officers were elected as follows: President, A. E. Field; vice-president, E. B. Hopkins; secretary and treasurer, Etta Hardesty. The president and secretary were each chosen to like positions in the tract society. Several new canvassers have been added to the list of workers. Four new churches were added to the conference, and marked prosperity was shown by the annual reports.
THE following note is a specimen of such as are frequently received at this office: "Some one has been kind enough to send me the SIGNS OF THE TIMES till November 1, and, becoming interested in keeping the seventh day, I send you $1.00 to pay for one year's subscription, which I see you offer it for if sent before October 1. Please send two pamphlets on 'Marshaling of the Nations,' one 'The Seven Trumpets,' two 'An Astronomer's View of our Father's House,' and one 'The Great Day of the Lord.'"
CONCERNING the Missouri Conference and camp-meeting Brother R. M. Kilgore, superintendent of General Conference District No. 5, writes: "About five hundred persons were camped in Burge Park, Kansas City. During the meeting eighty persons went forward for prayers. Nineteen were baptized. The laborers present were Prof. B. G. Wilkinson, Brethren S. H. Lane, J. E. Jayne, J. M. Rees, H. Shultz, and Prof. P. T. Magan. The plan for the relief of our schools was presented by Professor Magan. Brethren D. T. Jones, R. C. Porter, and J. O. Beard were also present, and S. C. Osborne, district canvassing agent, labored in the interest of his line of work. About twenty-five canvassers engaged to enter the field. Brother J. M. Rees was elected president of the conference and also of the tract society. Brother R. C. Porter was elected to a place on the executive committee and president of the Sabbath-school association. Five tents will enter new fields immediately, each manned with a good corps of workers."
