OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

By Editor

THE address of Pastor M. S. Babcock is 2200 Chestnut Ave., Newport News, Va.
DURING the week of prayer two members were added to the church at Mill Creek, Wis.
ONE of our laborers in Cleveland, Ohio, writes that two have accepted "present truth" recently from reading our periodicals.
THE nurses of our sanitarium in Buffalo, N. Y., are maintaining a Sabbath-school in what is called "the poor section of the city."
THE brethren at Marshfield, Wis., have started the new year with renewed courage, having purchased a commodious house of worship.
A SABBATH-SCHOOL with a present membership of eighteen has been organized at South Madison, Wis., besides the sanitarium Sabbath-school.
MEETINGS recently held at Cove Creek, N. C., by Brethren R. T. Nash and George Crawford, have resulted in the addition of eight to our ranks.
THE sad news comes from Nyassaland, Africa, that Brother Joseph Watson, who went to that country as a missionary last winter, has already been laid to rest.
THE regular attendance at the new Iowa Industrial School, located at Stewart, is reported at seventy-four, with an enrolment of eighty-five. The second term opened on the 27th ult.
A NOTE from Brother F. N. Conway reports the baptism of thirteen candidates on a recent Sabbath, at Perry, O. T., making twenty in all since their camp-meeting in the fall. He also reports success with the special SIGNS.
ONE boy, Daniel Gladden, who signs himself "Your SIGNS Boy," is determined to make a success selling the SIGNS OF THE TIMES. By faith, tact, perseverance, he will succeed. He surely has a glad, good name to start on.
WRITING to the Mission Board of a tent effort in Argentina, Brother J. W. Westphal reports the baptism of fifteen candidates during a four weeks' meeting. Another report from Brother N. Z. Town tells of the conversion of fifty persons in one place.
IN the Workers' Bulletin Brother G. H. Skinner reports that at Whittemore, Iowa, he was invited by the Methodist minister to occupy his pulpit on a Sunday morning, and also to preach for him in the afternoon at a country charge. He has secured the Baptist Church there for a series of meetings.
ATTENTION is called to the fact that on the first Sabbath in February, there will be a collection taken in all the churches to aid the work of the International Publishing Association. This collection was recommended by the General Conference Council, and is a worthy object. See notice by Brother E. T. Russell, chairman of the association.
A CANVASSER's institute, commencing March 1 and continuing four weeks, will be held at Trezevant, Tenn. Brother George W. Rich, field agent, expresses the hope that some of the brethren from the North may be impressed to come down and help along the work in that needy field. Any one desiring information is invited to correspond with the Southern Publishing Association, 1025 Jefferson Street, Nashville, Tenn.
THIS testimonial concerning our "Capital and Labor" issue is from Brother Wm. Covert, president of Wisconsin Conference: "Three days ago I saw a brother who said that four persons in their city in one hour sold 175 copies of the special SIGNS. Five brethren sold 250 copies in the city of Boston, the evening after the Sabbath, December 26. One brother in Wisconsin writes me that he received fifty copies, which he sold in half an hour, and wished that he had taken more. I am told by those who know, that the date on the SIGNS does not hinder very much in its sale. Why not sell many more copies in the State of Wisconsin? I am sure it could be done. This paper is doing an immense amount of good. I do not know of anything that could be done to accomplish so much good with so small an effort as to continue selling this number of the SIGNS OF THE TIMES during the next month or two.
