OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

By Editor

THE addition of four members to the church at Grand Junction, Colo., and three at Glenwood Springs, is reported by Brother L. H. Proctor.

THE Review and Herald is now issuing a Library in both the Danish and Swedish languages. "Marshaling of the Nations" will be No. 2 of the Swedish and No. 3 of the Danish Library.

THE brethren at Anoka, Minn., have purchased the Baptist Church at that place. It is a good-sized building, with lecture-room and basement, and is well adapted for church-school purposes. So says the Worker.

As a result of meetings held at Pagosa Springs, Colo., Brother G. W. Anglebarger reports that eight adults have taken a firm stand for the truth. A Sabbath-school has been organized, and book sales have been encouraging in the community.

THE Religious Liberty Library, issue Vol. 1, No. 10, of September 17, is entitled "Religion as a Support of the State." It contains important matter for our time, in view of the general tendency toward a closer union of the church with the State. Illustrated. Price, 1 cent.

THE Colorado Sanitarium at Boulder is forming its fifth training class for nurses. It is becoming more and more recognized that in sickness much depends on good nursing, and that ability in that line is a very effective auxiliary qualification for missionary work.

AT the recent session of the Illinois Conference, officers were elected as follows: President, N. W. Kauble; vice-president, R. F. Andrews; secretary, C. H. Castle; treasurer, G. A. Wheeler; missionary agent, R. B. Craig. The Sabbath-school officers are: President, Mrs. Hattie E. Kauble; vice-president, Jean Phillips; secretary, Lou K. Curtis. Five new churches were added to the conference.

THE New York Conference recommends that "our churches and people put forth more earnest efforts in the circulation of the Signs, in selling it in our large cities and towns from house to house, in places of business, and saloons, in obtaining short-term subscriptions and delivering them in person, in encouraging agents to canvass for long-term subscriptions, in using the paper in Bible-reading work, and in taking the paper in clubs for vigilant missionary and deposit work." And all this is just as good for other conferences as for New York.

IF you want to give something to help along the urgent message, and have something to give, don't wait for a call; don't wait for a stated occasion; don't wait to see what some one else is going to do; don't say, "There is no use of my giving unless all the others do;" just give—if it be but a dollar—and give for Jesus' sake. The voluntary gift, and not the gift under pressure, is what God accredits. Giving because others do is giving "to be seen of men." Remember that the widow's two mites was "more than they all" who had "given of their abundance."

SOMETIMES old people think their days of usefulness are past, even while they are able to travel about. We are always glad to note exceptions. Brother George B. Thompson, in going the rounds of New York Conference, of which he is president, mentions in the Indicator that while in West Pierrepont he met Brother H. H. Wilcox and wife, "who, with horse and buggy, are going from place to place selling books and interesting the people in the truth." Brother Wilcox has passed his eightieth year, and, as might be expected, of course, "his faith in the message is growing brighter day by day."
