OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

By Editor

FIVE new Sabbath-keepers at Senjen, Minn., are the fruit of labor by Brother George L. Budd.

BROTHER F. H. WESTPHAL, who recently went to Chile, reports having begun meetings in Spanish and German.

THE Southern Illinois Herald reports three new Sabbath-schools in that conference—at Tower Hill, Pontoosuc, and Carmi.

AT Detroit City, Minn., three persons have recently begun the observance of the Lord's Sabbath, as a result of the circulation of literature.

THE brethren at Ukiah, Cal., have erected a new house of worship, the first Seventh-day Adventist church building in Mendocino County.

EMMANUEL MISSIONARY COLLEGE, at Berrien Springs, Mich., was opened for the winter term on the 5th inst., under the supervision of Prof. N. W. Kauble.

THE missionary secretaryship of Southern Illinois Conference has fallen to the lot of Brother S. J. Quantock, formerly of Missouri. Miss Pearl L. Rees, who has held the position in the past, has been obliged to resign, on account of the ill health of her mother.

THE Mexican Field, organ of our Mexican Mission Field, reports six new members recently added to the church in Tacubaya, as a result of Bible-readings given by Brother F. C. Kelley. It may be worthy of note that Brother Kelley was formerly employed in the book department of this office, and took up the study of Spanish while thus engaged. He afterward went to South America as a self-supporting missionary, and has served the cause in various parts where the Spanish is the principal language. Our young people would do well to make a note of this.

FROM an interesting letter in the Wisconsin Reporter, written by Sister Minnie L. Westphal, from Mexico, December 10, we take this extract: "Five months ago to-day I arrived in Mexico—truly a stranger in a strange land, yet many have been the blessings which I have enjoyed from a kind Father's hand. My work as governess in a Spanish family, I have greatly enjoyed. Six girls, ranging from eight to eighteen years of age, are in my care, and, being with them constantly, I realize that my influence is unlimited, and that I need much heavenly wisdom in training these young minds in the right channel. Only a few years ago this family were staunch Catholics, but, through the instruction and influence of their former governess, Miss Winifred Peebles, who is at present teaching at College View, Neb., they gave up their Catholic ideas and began to study the Bible for themselves. They soon learned that Christ alone can forgive sins, and little by little caught new glimpses of light. They have much influence in their home town."

ONE of the institutions in the South that needs especial help just now, is the Nashville Sanitarium. On a small scale it is doing a good work, which started from the unaided efforts of two nurses—Brother L. A. Hansen and wife—a few years ago. An appeal from Brother Hansen for much-needed assistance to give the institution the facilities necessary for its important sphere of influence, says: "We are at present in rented buildings, that are partly equipped and furnished. We are in much need of some of the simplest sanitarium facilities. We have an excellent family of workers, physicians, and nurses. A good class of patrons are coming. We ought, of course, to be able to care for them. The institution is already self-supporting, but can not make advance moves in securing permanent buildings or equipment without assistance from others. We ask you now if you will help us in this good work. We realize there are many calls, both from your home field and elsewhere, but surely none will lose by giving heed to as many calls as possible. If the Lord presents openings for us, we must be glad and ready to fill them as far as possible. If you are not prepared to give as much as some one else, do something, even tho it be but a little. Drafts, money orders, or pledges, should be sent to Nashville Sanitarium, Church and Vine Streets, Nashville, Tennessee. If, for any reason, you send donations for this work to any other office, local or general, state plainly what it is for."
