OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

By Editor

THE organization of a church (Scandinavian) of fourteen members at Detroit, Minn., is noted in the Worker by Brother H. Steen.

BROTHER W. C. WALES and wife, recently of Knoxville, Tenn., have gone to the Northwest Territory, Canada, to engage in labor.

THE organization of a church at Spring City, Utah, with eight members, is reported by Brother A. G. Christiansen. He is now laboring in Mount Pleasant, the largest town in San Pete County.

THE June issue of Life and Health, published at Washington, D. C., shows a rising subscription list. The edition for this month numbers 17,500 copies. This patronage is well deserved. Subscription price, only 50 cents a year, monthly. 222 N. Capitol Street, Washington, D. C.

WE learn from the College View (Neb.) Messenger that another of our ministering brethren has fallen at his post. Brother W. B. Hill died of consumption May 4. He was a pioneer minister in Minnesota, and since he was obliged to stop active labor he had published a pamphlet entitled "Bro. Hill's Bible Class," which is meeting a favorable reception.

IN the Minnesota Worker Brother A. Mead reports that at Senjen, May 21, seventeen candidates were baptized, a church of twenty-one members was organized, and others were to be baptized later. A new house of worship is being built, and the cause is prospering by the blessing of God upon the labors recently put forth by Brethren Geo. L. Budd and E. M. Chapman.

IT is encouraging to hear of country Sabbath-schools for the dissemination of the truth. The Sabbath-school is a good medium, especially when conducted by persons of experience. Brother C. M. Clark reports the organization of one such school somewhere in South Dakota, with twenty-three members. If the report in the Worker had given the locality, it would have been more satisfactory, but it is gratifying to hear of such work being done anywhere.

A BOY of twelve years—Arthur J. Pearson, Sebastopol, Cal.—writes that he is trying to be what the Lord would have him to be. In his effort to be such a boy, he very wisely sends 30 cents for tracts—"Is Sunday the Sabbath?" "The Identical Seventh-day," and "It Doesn't Pay." There are many twelve-year-old children who ought to be doing just such work. We have many tracts and some small books, besides papers, that they could work with. Remember that when Jesus was twelve years old, He knew that He must be about His Father's business, and knew how to go about it, too.

THE camp-meeting recently held by our South Dakota brethren at Woonsocket, received the following official welcome by Mayor S. A. Ramsey:

"The freedom of the city is extended to the Seventh-day Adventists during their annual encampment. Their meetings will be held in the city park, where, like the Israelites of old, they will pitch their tents."

"Our placid lake will afford them rest and recreation from their labor. The beautiful lawns, fine shade trees, water in abundance, clean streets, and the attractive surroundings in general will add a charm to these people while they tarry for a few days within the gates of our city."

"On behalf of the citizens of Woonsocket, a cordial welcome is extended to these people, and we will aim to give them every courtesy within our power to make their stay with us one long to be remembered."
