OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

By Editor

A CANVASSERS' institute will be held in Armstrong, Mo., January 22 to February 1.
A SABBATH-SCHOOL of sixteen members was organized at Ten Mile Creek, Wis.
THE brethren at Hampton, Iowa, are erecting a house of worship, with a school annex.
A THREE-MONTHS' school for canvassers is to be held in Minneapolis, Minn., commencing January 5.
A CHURCH of eighteen members has been organized at Broken Bow, Neb., by Brother L. E. Johnson.
THE brethren of Keene, Texas, have entered heartily upon the work of building a house of worship.
THE Minnesota Conference Committee have ordered the special SIGNS sent to the 525 editors of that State.
THE baptism of three candidates at Minneapolis, by Brother J. F. Pogue, is noted in the last issue of the Minnesota Worker.
A REPORT in the Kansas Worker, from Brother D. H. Oberholtzer, mentions the baptism of fifteen persons at Thayer, November 29.
IN the Canadian Union Messenger, Brother G. B. Thompson reports the organization of a church of twelve members at Lindsay, Ont.
THE annual session of West Michigan Conference will be held at Charlotte, commencing on the 8th inst., and continuing until the 13th.
THE dedication of a new house of worship near Pulaski, N. Y., is reported in the Indicator, by Brother S. H. Lane, president of the conference.
THE new house of worship erected by the church at Eau Claire, Wis., was dedicated December 6. Brethren Wm. Covert (president of the conference), T. B. Snow, and J. B. Scott were present.
THE Life Line Mission, located at 416 East Locust Street, Des Moines, Iowa, was formally dedicated on the 3d ult. An appreciation of the new enterprise was shown in a full house on this initial occasion.
AS BEFORE noted, a training school for workers will be conducted at College View, Neb., from the 7th inst. to March 3. The course this year will take the form of a Biblical institute for ministers, licentiates, Bible workers, city workers, canvassers, and church officers, with a corps of experienced instructors.
A COMPANY of Bible-working sisters in Leavenworth, Kansas, report that four of their readers have recently accepted the Sabbath of the Lord. Also that the church school recently established there is prospering. One mother had taken her daughter from the Catholic school to send her to the church school, and was well pleased with the change.
FROM letters received by Brother C. McReynolds, president of Kansas Conference, he notes in the Worker these recent accessions to the churches: Fort Scott, 7; Columbus, 4; Newton, 15; Great Bend, 7; German church at Herington, 4; Wichita, 3; Miltonvale, 5; Salina, 2; Ozawke, 2. He also notes "a great awakening as a result of the SIGNS work."
THE Central Advance says: "The Kansas Conference expects to open up a sanitarium at the Santa Fe hospital at Ottawa. Elder McReynolds, president of the Conference, has been assured by one of the managers that they can have the building free of rent for five or ten years, provided they will keep it in repair. The building at present is in excellent condition."
BROTHER R. D. QUINN, who recently went to Australia, writes to the Bivouac: "We came to Maryborough [Queensland], a city of about 11,600 people, several weeks ago and laid siege to it with all the workers we have in this conference. We secured from the government a fine location in the center of the city, erected a large eighty-foot tent, and begun work. The first evening there were about two hundred and fifty people out to hear us."
THE publishers of the Life Boat give notice that the price has been raised to 35 cents. Dr. Paulson says, "We are carrying on so many charitable enterprises with the paper that we deem this advisable." They are also making a valuable offer in connection with it; that is, a copy of J. Hudson Taylor's "Retrospect" for four new subscribers. This a book of experiences of the noted missionary in the interior of China, giving a glimpse of what God is willing to do for those who push into that benighted country with the light of "present truth." We are glad to learn that some workers for that paper found that they could also sell the special SIGNS without interfering with their regular Life Boat work. There is a field for both papers, and logically their fields cover the same ground. Many husbandmen have found a rotation of crops quite profitable, and it ought to work well in planting various phases of the truth.
