OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

By Editor

At the late annual session of the Montana Conference, all the officers were re-elected.

THERE will be a young people's convention at Healdsburg, Cal., July 9-14, and one at Hanford, July 16-21.

THE baptism of four candidates at Panther Creek, I. T., is reported by Brother M. H. Gregory, in the Southwestern Union Recorder.

THE addition of ten to the membership of the church at Jacksonville, Oregon, is reported in the Pacific Union Recorder, by Brother C. J. Cole.

A CANVASSERS' institute is in progress at Healdsburg (Cal.) College, with Brother S. C. Osborne, general agent for Pacific Union Conference, in charge.

As a result of the late institute held at College Place, Wash., thirty-five persons are expected to enter the canvassing work in the Northwestern Conferences.

FIVE new Sabbath-keepers are reported by Brother C. D. M. Williams, at Williams, A. T. To this he adds: "The Lord is filling His people with zeal for the work of the Master."

REPORTING for the Arkansas Tract Society to the Southwestern Union Recorder, Brother V. B. Watts says: "We have replied to at least a dozen letters in the past few weeks from those not of our faith, who wish to canvass for our books."

At the meeting of the Upper Columbia Conference held at Pendleton, Oregon, last month, the following officers were elected: President, A. J. Breed; treasurer and secretary, J. L. Kay; executive committee—A. J. Breed, J. A. Holbrook, Adam Schlotthauer, J. M. Willoughby, C. C. Lewis, S. Yarnell, and T. L. Ragsdale.

BROTHER A. D. GILBERT, special agent of the Pacific Press Publishing Company, has been invited by the Indiana Conference to visit that State in behalf of the SIGNS OF THE TIMES. The brethren there appreciate the importance of giving this paper a more distinctive recognition as a pioneer in the Gospel work.

A REPORT from Brother B. R. Nordyke, manager of our Kansas City branch, gives an encouraging prospect for the canvassing work in the Southwest. Forty agents in Kansas, thirty in Oklahoma, and twenty more going out from the school at Keene, Texas, will give a decided impetus to the work of disseminating the truth through our literature. During one week, ending May 8, says another report in the Review, nine agents in Texas sold books to the value of $833. About three-fourths of this amount was for "Desire of Ages."

WANTED.—God is advertising all over the land for laborers. He wants men and women, boys and girls, to labor in His vineyard. He wants them right away. No one need hold back because of the lateness of the hour. Tho it be the eleventh hour, He says, "Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive." He is saying to those who know the truth, "Why stand ye here all the day idle?" These are times of disaster and calamity, forerunners of the great day of judgment upon all the world. God wants messengers to carry the warning, and to carry offers of refuge to all who will seek it in Him before it is too late. Why will you seek employment and investment in the world's enterprises, when the all-wise Employer is calling for talent and muscle and means, and is offering work and safe investment to all who will heed His choicest of offers?
