OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

By Editor

THE young people's societies of Ohio contributed $480, the past conference year, to work in foreign fields.
FIVE candidates for baptism are reported by Brother C. J. Buhalts, in connection with his tent-meetings at Martinsville, Ind.
A LETTER from Prof. J. A. L. Derby, of Washington, D. C., notes the addition of twelve to our ranks in connection with meetings held in that city.
A CHURCH of eighteen members was organized at Viborg, S. D., August 13. This was the result of labor by Brethren J. W. Christian and W. A. Baker.
DR. EMMA A. PERRINE, and Miss Bessie Young, a graduate of Iowa Sanitarium Training-School, were booked to sail for Japan, from Vancouver, on the 18th inst.
IN the Atlantic Union Gleaner, Brother J. A. Traugh reports the accession of nineteen Sabbath-keepers, with a continued interest in meetings conducted at Lord, Md.
THE brethren at Woonsocket, S. D., have commenced the work of building a house of worship. The people not of our faith are materially encouraging the enterprise.
MEETINGS in progress at Royal Center, Ind., conducted by Brethren B. Hagle and J. C. Harris, had been blessed by the accession of ten converts, at the latest report. A church has been organized.
KEENE ACADEMY, at Keene, Texas, is singing the jubilee song of freedom from debt. The managers of the institution and the people who contributed to this happy condition are to be congratulated.
THE clerk of the church at Providence, R. I., reports to the Gleaner that within a few weeks nine members have been added to that company. August 19 six were baptized by Brother J. F. Archibald.
AN Indian doctor in Singapore has become much interested in the medical missionary work of Brother and Sister Davey. His wife is receiving treatment from Sister Davey, and, through Bible instruction by Brother G. F. Jones' wife, has renounced Catholicism.
A SABBATH-SCHOOL of thirty-eight members has been organized in connection with tent-meetings at Eaton, Ind., by Brethren U. S. Anderson and J. F. Steele. Five candidates were baptized August 19, and others were to follow in another week. In the Reporter they note an excellent interest.
ABOUT October 10 the International Publishing Association will issue special numbers of the German, Swedish, and Danish papers. The articles will be fully illustrated, and the cover will have a specially attractive design. It is hoped that the papers may have a wide circulation. A more definite announcement will be given later.
A NUMBER of clippings received from Brother L. Schmidt, show that the daily Express, of Albany, N. Y., is giving favorable consideration and liberal notices regarding his street talks and other labors in that city. And well might the public journals everywhere give more space to the messages of truth that are due to the world in these days; for they are live issues, and concern the eternal welfare of every individual.
BROTHER C. P. BOLLMAN, of Springville, Tenn., secretary of the Southern Missionary Society, was in Mountain View last week, and was a most welcome visitor at our office. He was a fellow-laborer with us for several years, and was connected with the American Sentinel in New York. Some time ago he was obliged to retire to his farm for the benefit of his health; but we are glad to see that he has improved healthwise, and is again actively at work in behalf of the great cause of present truth in the South.
OUR Spanish journal, El Mensajero de la Verdad (The Messenger of the Truth) is now receiving commendatory testimonials from Spain, Honduras, and South American States, and persons are brought to acknowledge the Sabbath truth solely by its ministrations. It is illustrated and has four departments, namely, General Articles, Editorial, Children's Department, and Health and Temperance. It is published monthly, at 35 cents (U. S. money) per year; in clubs of five or more to one address, 25 cents each. It is good missionary work to send the paper to Spanish readers. Address, Num. 1420, Ave. 20, Tacubaya, D. F., Mexico.
BROTHER WM. COVERT asks which of the churches in a certain conference would like to have special meetings held in their respective vicinities, and then adds this pertinent suggestion: "Where the church members have fulfilled John 13: 35, meetings can be held with good results. Churches may prepare the way for a revival by following the advice of 1 Cor. 1: 10. But studiously avoid the things outlined in the verse that follows. Learn to heed the exhortation of Phil. 4: 8, and then arrange for the meetings." On these conditions any church can safely call for ministerial help and confidently expect a gathering of souls.
BROTHER G. W. REASER, president of Southern California Conference, reports that just preceding the recent camp-meeting in Los Angeles, fifteen persons were united to that church by baptism. On the last day of the camp-meeting twenty-two more were baptized, and other candidates were referred to their various home churches for baptism and membership. During this meeting about $38,000 was secured for Loma Linda Sanitarium; nearly $2,000 for Fernando College, and $460 for camp expenses. Brother E. H. Adams was ordained to the Gospel ministry. Three of the brethren have promised to support four native missionaries in Africa for at least one year. August 26, five more candidates were baptized, and joined the Los Angeles Church. It was estimated that fully one thousand of our people attended the Los Angeles camp-meeting. Mrs. E. G. White went to Loma Linda after the meeting for a much-needed rest.
