OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

By Editor

TWO CANDIDATES were baptized at Benton Harbor, Mich., December 3, by Brother R. C. Horton.

FOUR new Sabbath-keepers at Marion, Ill., are reported in the Herald by Brother C. L. Taggart.

IT has been decided to hold the next General Conference session in Washington, D. C., beginning May 11.

IT is now the summer season in Australia, and the New South Wales Conference, of which Brother S. M. Cobb is president, is employing four tent companies.

ON November 23, Brother W. D. Parkhurst baptized six candidates at Goodwell, Mich., the fruit of labor by Brethren A. L. Evans and James Thorpe. After the baptism a missionary society was organized.

IN connection with work at Upper Huon, Tasmania, Brother E. Hilliard reports to the Union Conference Record the baptism of five candidates, and that nine others had decided to "keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus."

IN the Wisconsin Reporter, Brother Wm. Covert tells of a little seven-year-old boy who recently sold enough of our papers to net him $3.60 in commissions, which he donated to the colored work in the South. Here is a good example for older people.

A SERIES of Religious Liberty leaflets is being written by Eld. W. A. Colcord, Secretary of the Religious Liberty Bureau, four of which will soon be ready for distribution. These can be secured from your tract society or from the Review and Herald, 222 N. Capitol St., Washington, D. C.

FROM the Nebraska Reporter we learn that Brother E. T. Russell, president of the Central Union Conference, recently organized three new churches in the Black Hills of South Dakota. This region was formerly a part of Nebraska Conference, but has been set apart as a mission field under the direct charge of the Union Conference.

THE little island of Norfolk, in the South Pacific Ocean, has a church of thirteen members, with ten other adult Sabbath-keepers who reckon themselves as of the company. The Sabbath-school numbers thirty-seven members. In dimensions the island is six miles long by four wide, and the population is given as 481. The brethren there say they are in need of a church-school.

"WHEN I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul." Eze. 33: 8, 9.

BROTHER T. H. PURDON writes that three persons began the observance of the Sabbath of the Lord in Montpelier, Vt., and vicinity during his recent labors there along religious liberty lines. He also speaks with high commendation of our four special tracts issued for the fall and winter campaign. His testimony in this respect is in harmony with the general response to this effort.

WRITING to the West Michigan Herald, Professor Wolcott, of the new industrial school at Palisades, Colo., says: "We have a large log house for our dormitory. It has a large parlor, sitting-room, dining-room, kitchen, and good-sized bedroom downstairs, and two large rooms upstairs. We have no girls in the dormitory. The boys occupy the upstairs, and the parlor is used as a study-room. We have a fine little schoolroom with primary and intermediate departments, and thirty-eight scholars. We are busy early and late, but enjoy the work, for it is the Lord's."
