OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

By Editor

A CAMP-MEETING is to be held at Woonsocket, S. D., June 8-18.

IN the Wisconsin Reporter Brother F. F. Petersen notes the baptism of two candidates at La Grange.

THE baptism of two candidates at Kinderhook, Mich., by Brother Hebner, is reported in the Herald.

DR. M. A. MORTENSEN, of Dekalb, Ill., has accepted a call to the sanitarium at Skodsborg, Denmark.

A NOTE in the Kansas Worker says that a Sabbath-school of seventeen members was recently organized at Wa Keeney.

FROM Memphis, Tenn., Brother H. C. Balsbaugh writes that eleven members had been added to the church there within two Sabbaths. Six were new in the truth, and five had been members before. He adds that "work with the colored people is also progressing well, through God's blessing."

FROM the Record, of Cooranbong, N. S. W., we take this item: "Our workers in Fiji report a recent baptism at the Ra Coast of fifteen precious souls. This included three husbands and wives, one mother and son, a mother and daughter, and five young men. At another village not far distant, several others were awaiting baptism. May the Lord continue to bless the efforts of our workers in the islands of the sea. 'The isles shall wait for His law.'"

IN the New York Indicator we see a notice that the editor of the SIGNS and his brother, F. M. Wilcox, of Boulder, Colo., were to hold services at West Pierrepont, St. Lawrence County, N. Y., on the 3d inst., and at South Russell (their home town) on the 4th. Of all the editor-in-chief's tour to the East, the privilege of again visiting the home of his boyhood is the part that his helpers in the office are most inclined to envy. It seems next to being a boy again—if there are not too many changes.

IN sending the cash for twenty subscriptions to the SIGNS, Brother W. J. Boynton, of Seattle, Wash., writes: "They are paid for by Brother J. M. Estes, a member of Seattle church, who is now at Nome, Alaska. He writes that he has been giving the Third Angel's Message through an interpreter to the Eskimos, seven of whom have begun to keep the Sabbath, and are very much interested in the study of the Bible. One of them wishes to attend one of our training schools, to learn how to carry the truth to his people."

IN noticing a camp-meeting to be held on the new school grounds at Tunesassa, Cataraugus County, N. Y., Brother S. H. Lane says, in the Indicator: "This meeting will be a workers' meeting, as well as a local camp-meeting. The school farm is a new unimproved one. We desire to clear and sow to buckwheat five acres during the meeting. We expect that all who attend and are able so to do, will work several hours each day, therefore bring a working suit of clothes as well as your hymn-books and Bibles. All who attend should come prepared to care for themselves as far as possible. Bring provisions for yourself and some to spare. Plan now to attend. There will be two preaching services each day and frequent social and other meetings." This is a new feature in camp-meetings, but it is practical, and the brethren who enter into it heartily will have good reason to expect more fruit than a crop of buckwheat. The date of the meeting is not given, but we suppose the people immediately concerned know that item.
