OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

HEADQUARTERS of East Michigan Conference have been transferred from Lansing to Holly.
FIVE candidates were recently baptized in the lake near Jackson, Mich., by Brother O. F. Butcher.
THE annual session of Ohio Conference will be held in connection with the camp-meeting at Mansfield, August 10-21.
THE baptism of three persons at Bunker Hill, Mich., is noted in the Banner by Brother C. N. Sanders. Two others, who were not able to be baptized at that time, deferred action till later.
A CHURCH of twenty-two members was organized at Medaryville, Ind., June 17, by Brother W. J. Stone, president of the conference. Eleven of these had not before been members of the church.
IN reporting the baptism of four persons at Aledo, Ill., Brother L. D. Santee says in the Recorder: Aledo has had very little ministerial labor, and yet in my last three visits there I baptized sixteen.
"SAVE THE BOYS," a little journal published in the interest of boys, wishes all interested in having a good fountain pen to write them as to their offer, to Washburn Park, Minneapolis, Minn., inclosing stamp for reply.
IN May last, two churches were organized by Brother S. M. Cobb, president of New South Wales Conference. One of these is at Forbes, and had a membership of thirteen, the other being at Parkes, with a membership of twenty-two.
ON June 24, at a union meeting held at Trinway, Ohio, twelve candidates were baptized by Brother B. L. House. On returning to the place of meeting, a church of fourteen members was organized. Brother H. H. Burkholder, president of the conference, also officiated in the organization.

BROTHER A. G. DANIELLS, president of the General Conference, sailed from New York for Europe July 4. He was to attend the Latin Union Conference at Gland, Switzerland, July 11-16, and, immediately after this, the German Union Conference at Freidensau. He expects to sojourn in England during August. He was accompanied on his voyage by Sister E. N. Holser, widow of the late Elder H. P. Holser. She goes to take the position of matron in the sanitarium at Gland.
THE hot spell that came in with the month of July reminds us of the appropriate name given to the July issue of Life and Health, to-wit, "The Hot Weather Number." It contains practical information on "How to Keep Cool on a Hot Day," "Cooking without Fire," "Hints on Bathing," "Diet and Health," "Fruit Canning," etc. Among other valuable things, this issue begins a new department, "For the Mother," conducted by Mrs. M. C. Wilcox, who has given much consideration to questions and topics along this line. Life and Health is a progressive health journal. Fifty cents a year. Address, 222 N. Capitol Street, Washington, D. C.
FROM the Illinois Recorder we learn that since the Chicago camp-meeting, evening services have been continued in the large tent, and much interest is being manifested. Another feature of advance work is a school for the training of workers, which has been opened in the Keefe Mansion, Sixty-ninth Street and Anthony Avenue. The purpose is to fit workers for immediate service. No tuition is charged. All are welcome who desire to use what they learn. Mention is also made of the baptism of ten candidates at South Side Church. This progressive work is conducted by Brethren Luther Warren, L. D. Santee, and John J. Irwin.
FROM Brother C. Rentfro, who has been laboring in Portugal, we learn that his address has been changed from Lisbon to Carcavelos. He notes having written and translated four articles to be published in the Arauto da Verdade. He relates the following interesting incident: "On Sunday, June 4, some of the English residents had a cricket match. A few days afterward the Scotch Presbyterian preacher who comes out from Lisbon every two weeks, gave a talk on Sunday observance. He based the weekly holiday on the decree of Constantine, A. D. 321, and said there was no such holiday up to that time. It created quite a stir among the hearers, and some began to see the difference between Sunday and the Sabbath."
