OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

By Editor

A SESSION of the Southwestern Union Conference will be held at Keene, Texas, Feb. 9-11, 1906.

THE baptism of three persons at Mill Creek, Wis., is noted in the Reporter by Brother F. F. Petersen.

THE Wisconsin Conference Committee has decided to erect a school building at Clearwater Lake.

A CHURCH of eight members was recently organized at Estella, I. T. Brethren A. Nelson and E. L. Maxwell conducted the organization services.

THE office of the Georgia Conference, and Tract and Missionary Department, is located at 613 E. Fair Street, Atlanta. M. L. Woodall, secretary and treasurer.

REPORTING to the Recorder, Brother Wm. W. Simpson tells of very successful meetings in San Diego, Cal., and notes that at a recent meeting there were sixty new Sabbath-keepers.

OWING to continued ill health, Brother W. B. White, president of Pacific Union Conference, has removed to Southern California, where he will engage in outdoor labor for a time.

THE Minnesota Worker notes an awakening in the matter of home canvassing for our 40 per cent. books. It is a good work, and an excellent way to gain an experience in carrying the truth to the people. Get a catalog of these books and try it.

AT the recent meeting of the Central New England Conference, the following officers were chosen: President, A. E. Place; secretary and treasurer, H. B. Tucker; secretary Sabbath-school Department, Mrs. L. S. Wheeler; missionary secretary, and general canvassing agent, H. C. Wilcox; executive committee, A. E. Place, L. S. Wheeler, F. Griggs, D. M. Hull, P. P. Lane. Brother H. C. Hartwell was ordained to the Gospel ministry.

AT Salamanca, N. Y., where Dr. W. F. Crafts, of the Church-and-State Bureau, Washington, D. C., was recently lecturing, the audience was well supplied with the tract, "The Seal of God and the Mark of the Beast." Such is the proper way to meet this class of so-called "reformers." Nothing so effectively offsets error as the silent truth. Mr. Crafts was boasting of the great political power of his bureau; and, as a covert auxiliary to Rome's growing influence in the government, it is apparently second to none.

A LETTER from Brother Delmar Baker, son of Brother G. A. Baker, long connected with the SIGNS office, gives an encouraging account of the work in Great Britain. He and his wife are graduate nurses, and are at present connected at the sanitarium at Leicester. He notes that the work is very encouraging in North England Conference, of which Brother E. E. Andross is president. The conference has become self-supporting. Of former Californians now laboring in the Britain, mention is made that A. S. Marchus is at Nottingham, J. H. Parsons at Newcastle, J. S. McCord at Hastings, on the south coast, and Brother Gautereau at Southampton. The last-named brother had been canvassing in North Scotland for about two years, and had been very successful, but returns to the work of the ministry. Brother and Sister Baker are about to take a further educational course, preparatory for some more distant foreign work.
