IN connection with the Swedish work in Chicago, conducted by Brethren G. C. Johnson and S. Mortenson, the Recorder notes the accession of five to the faith.
FIFTEEN persons have been added to the church at Wellington, Kansas. A camp-meeting was held there last summer, and other meetings since that occasion.

A REPORT in the California Missionary notes that eight persons have accepted the faith at Bishop, Inyo County, under the labors of Brethren H. F. Courter and A. S. Kellogg.
THE Good Health Hotel, on State Street, Chicago, and the Workingmen's Home are putting in more beds, as their patronage is increasing. So says Brother L. D. Santee, in the Recorder.
FIFTY copies of our World's Outlook special sold in less than twenty-four hours, is the report of a sister in Waterloo, Iowa. An aged brother in Kansas reports a sale of twenty-five copies in about fifteen minutes.
"HOME AND CHURCH SCHOOL MANUAL" is a little pamphlet of 108 pages, published by Professor Cady, of Healdsburg College. It is designed to be, and we are sure it will prove, an aid to parents and teachers in the instruction of children. The little work contains some chapters packed full of precious information. All who desire it may obtain it by sending 20 cents to True Education, care Healdsburg College, Healdsburg, Cal.
A SABBATH-SCHOOL of nineteen members has been organized at Clifton, Ill., by Brother Lloyd, a layman who recently moved from Chicago. He did not wait for a minister to come and hold meetings before beginning work.
THE Workers' Bulletin says: "We receive many words of commendation for the Outlook SIGNS. One sister writes: 'I have read every article, and think each one is worth the price of the paper. Pray for us as we go forth to sell them.'"
THE baptism of one candidate at Nashville, Ohio, and two at Newark, is reported to the Visitor by Brother R. A. Boardman. Brother Boardman has been chosen a member of the Conference Committee, in place of Brother A. M. Mitchell, who has been appointed treasurer of the General Conference.
A SPECIAL edition of the Sentinel of Liberty, dated December 6, is devoted in a general way to the current agitation of the question of Sunday-closing of the Pan-American Exposition, to be held at Buffalo, N. Y., next summer. The paper is finely illustrated, and contains much important matter. Price, $1.00 per hundred copies. Address, 324 Dearborn Street, Chicago, Ill.
THOSE who are interested in the work of the Southern Missionary Society (and all Christians ought to be) would certainly have their interest materially increased by reading the October and November numbers of the Gospel Herald. These papers contain the evidence that the avenues of labor for the colored people are already being closed. The necessities of that work are fully set forth in a manner that can not be found anywhere else. Address, Southern Missionary Society, 1908 Grand Avenue, Nashville, Tenn. While sending for these two numbers, you might as well send 25 cents for a volume of twelve numbers.
"TEACHERS' CONFERENCE BULLETIN" is a pamphlet of 228 pages, containing the proceedings of the Conference of Missionary Teachers, held at Battle Creek, Mich., June 20 to July 12, 1900.

Magan, W. T. Bland, Edwin Barnes, and many others. It contains a large fund of valuable suggestion and an education of principles of interest and assistance to the teacher and student in Christian education. Price 25 cents. Address Review and Herald Publishing Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
THE brethren of Kansas City, Kansas, are engaged in the work of erecting a new house of worship. A call has been made for assistance from other churches in the conference, as that is a very important point and the church there is not able to build such a house as the necessities of the work demand. The Missouri Conference is aiding in the work of building a house in Kansas City, Mo. The two cities are practically one, though divided by the State line. On the Kansas side there are 60,000 inhabitants, and on the Missouri side about 150,000. On a recent visit of Brother J. W. Westphal, president of Kansas Conference, to the church on that side of the line, four candidates were baptized.
