OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

By Editor

FROM Indianapolis, Ind., Brother O. S. Hadley writes that he and Brother A. W. Bartlett, with their wives, are holding tent-meetings in that city with fair success. They live in tents, and are laboring as self-supporting missionaries.

IN the Northern Illinois Recorder we note this item: "Elder Kauble reports that they have an application for entry as a student in the school at Berrien Springs from a young man in Thessalonica, Macedonia. He expects to arrive soon to take up his studies."

IN the Tennessee River Chronicle, Brother G. W. Berry reports the organization of a church of eight members at Eddyville, Ky. There were seven others who had accepted the Sabbath of the Lord, that were expected to unite with the church very soon. Brother Frank Mosebar and wife had labored there with Brother Berry.

IT has been decided that Brother E. W. Farnsworth will not take the position of Bible teacher at Union College, as previously announced. It is thought best not to tie him to any institution, but to leave him free to labor in the general field, wherever he may be most needed in the ministry. Prof. M. D. Mattson, who has filled that position at South Lancaster Academy for several years, will go to Union College.

OUR brethren often speak and write about giving the last message—the "Gospel of the kingdom"—to the world in this generation. If this is done by Seventh-day Adventists, they will have to do it through vigorous circulation of message literature. Moreover, they will all have to go to work. There are not, and there is no prospect that there will be, enough preachers and other conference workers to do it. But experience proves that, whoever the workers be, the product of the press is the more effectual instrumentality.

IN Chicago we have four tent companies at work: English, on Lincoln Avenue; Swedish, on Belmont Avenue; Danish, on Ohio Street; German, on the North Side. Besides these there are ten more services each week in the various churches and two sermons a week at the Brookline Mission. These are in addition to the work of Bible-readers and the training-school. Yet there is room in the midst of that variegated mass of humanity, hurrying on to destruction, for several times the number of laborers. Everywhere, "the harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few." And the apostle Paul says, "We walk by faith, and not by sight."
