OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

By Editor

ON the 20th inst. three members were added to the church in Indianapolis, Ind., by baptism.
A REPORT of Brother C. H. Bates notes the baptism of five candidates at Cripple Creek and Victor, Col.
DURING a general meeting at Muscatine, Iowa, five persons gave themselves to the service of the Lord.
THE church building owned and occupied by our brethren in Pueblo, Col., was destroyed by fire February 23.
IN the Minnesota Worker Brother S. E. Jackson reports the addition of six converts to the truth in Fergus Falls.
AT Calhan, Col., where Brother J. F. Jenson has been laboring, four new Sabbath-keepers were recently added to the list.
IN the church in this city, on the 5th inst., eight candidates were baptized by Brother Andrew Brorsen. These were all from Vallejo, where he has been laboring.
IN Echoes from the Field, Brother C. A. Frederick notes that the minister of the Christian Church at Paonia, Col., has begun the observance of the Sabbath of the Lord.
MEETINGS held at Kilbuck, Ohio, by Brother B. L. House, have resulted in the addition of eight persons to the Lord’s cause, five of them being heads of families.
THE brethren in New York Conference are raising means to purchase a small printing plant for Brother B. E. Connerly, a missionary of that conference to the island of Porto Rico.
THE brethren of the church recently organized at Rocky Ford, Col., are planning for the erection of a new house of worship. Three members were recently added to the church by baptism.
AT the recent session of the Natal-Transvaal Conference, Brother H. J. Edmed was re-elected president. A department for the circulation of our literature was organized, with Brother J. H. Camp as secretary.
FROM the Indiana Reporter we learn that Brother R. S. Donnell has accepted the invitation of the presidents of the Southern Union Conference and the Tennessee River Conference to labor in Nashville, Tenn., and he has moved his family to that place.
BROTHER J. H. KRAFT reports to the Workers’ Bulletin that a Presbyterian minister and his family, in Davenport, Iowa, some time ago began to observe the Lord’s Sabbath—the seventh day—from home study of the Bible, not knowing that there were any others of that belief in the city. Now one of the daughters is giving Bible readings to several persons.
AT a recent meeting of the Atlantic Union Conference Committee, it was recommended that there be inaugurated a vigorous health and temperance educational campaign throughout the conference. Amongst other means to this end, there were proposed the circulation of efficient, up-to-date health and temperance literature, and conducting schools of health as opportunities may make it advisable. Also the starting of small treatment rooms in different centers, and the sale of health foods.
AFTER a year’s labor in what is now the Republic of Panama, Brother I. G. Wright and wife report that there has been an increase in church membership from twenty to ninety-seven, besides a company in Costa Rica ready for organization. This will make four churches in that field, with three church buildings. They have now a new launch, in which to visit the different islands, of which there are about four hundred. In response to a call for help, the mission board is sending Brother Lee Wellman from the East Caribbean Conference.
THE General Conference Board of Management at Washington, D. C., is now ready to receive donations to carry out the plan of establishing the work in that city. Aside from the publishing plant, there is to be a General Conference building, a sanitarium, and a school. The publishing house is to be established by the Review and Herald Publishing Company, and for the other three enterprises a call is made for $100,000. The president of the General Conference says: “Those who have had experience in establishing school and sanitarium enterprises will say at once that the amounts named for these are not enough. It is not all that will eventually be required if the blessing of God attends the work. But it is all that has been voted, and it is sufficient to start with. We shall thank God for this much.” A strong public proclamation of the truth for the last days is to be made in Washington, and the training of workers for all parts of the great harvest-field is to be a prominent feature of the work there. The first pressing need, however, is money. Brother J. S. Washburn has been appointed soliciting agent, but he does not receive the funds. These go direct to the General Conference treasurer, Brother I. H. Evans, 222 North Capitol Street, Washington, D. C.
