OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

By Editor

AFTER some meetings held in Smithland, Iowa, by Brethren J. C. Clemens and O. M. Kittle, ten members were added to the church.

MEETINGS recently held at Plainview, province of Saskatchewan, Canada, by Brother John Peters, resulted in eight new Sabbath-keepers.

TWENTY-THREE candidates were recently baptized at Prattville, Mich., by Brother P. C. Hayward. The use of the Baptist church was kindly granted for the occasion.

CORRESPONDENTS of the General Conference office, or any of those who are connected with it, are requested to take notice that the address is now Takoma Park Station, Washington, D. C.

MEETINGS held at Mount Zion, Ind., by Brother F. M. Roberts brought out five converts, who united with the church in that place. Many others are said to be deeply interested in the study of the Word.

IN the North Dakota Gleaner, Brother Martin Olson mentions having sold twenty-six special SIGNS in about three hours. He found a number of people who were deeply interested in the truths presented.

ON account of the ill health of himself and wife, Brother J. M. Rees has been compelled to resign the presidency of Southern Illinois Conference. Brother W. D. Parkhurst, of Grand Rapids, Mich., has been called to fill the vacancy.

DURING the months of December and January, under the labors of Brother H. W. Reed, twenty-eight members were added to the church at Fish Creek, Wis. At the time of this report five others had covenanted to keep "the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus," who had not united with the church.

IN the Manitoba Worker, Brother E. R. Patter says: "With the Lord's help and blessing I was able to finish delivering 'Object Lessons' just before Christmas, in all 200. On Christmas day I started for the Icelandic settle

ment south of Morden, and by January 12 had sold and delivered eighty 'Prophecies of Jesus' in the Icelandic language."

JANUARY 13, five persons were baptized at the Chicago South Side church, three of them under fourteen years of age. Brother Wm. Covert, president of the conference, administered the ordinance. On the same day, eight members were added to the Englewood church of Chicago. This church has recently changed the meeting-place to 830 Sixty-third Street.

AT the late session of the North Dakota Conference, the following officers were chosen: President, John G. Walker; vice-president, Chas. Leer; secretary, A. E. Doering; treasurer, Alice H. Robinson; business agent, Richard Graham; executive committee, J. G. Walker, Chas. Leer, Lars Neilson, A. E. Doering, E. M. Strong, C. L. Kendall, Henry Humann.

THE second biennial session of the Northern Union Conference will convene at Lake Street church, corner Fourth Avenue S., Minneapolis, Minn., March 1-11. In addition to the usual business of the conference, important Bible studies and institute work will be conducted during the entire time. Brethren A. G. Daniells and G. A. Irwin will be in attendance.

IN the matter of securing petitions against the proposed Sunday law in Canada, we see it noted in the Messenger that one brother secured 300 in five days. Brother A. O. Burrill says: "I find that the average man does not want stricter Sunday laws." But such laws are not made now-a-days to suit the "average man"—that is, the ordinary people; they are made to please those who are supposed to wield political influence.

A BROTHER reporting to the Indiana Reporter says: "We are sorry that it seems necessary for our people to move so much." Well, if "our people," in moving so much, will do as the disciples of Jerusalem did when they were obliged to move, the more they move the better. When they became satisfied with colonizing in Jerusalem, the spirit of persecution was allowed to come in and scatter them abroad. "Therefore they that were scattered abroad went everywhere preaching the Word."

OUR faithful brother, W. L. Chrispin, writes as follows from Baltimore, Md., under date of January 20: "I am an old ex-Confederate soldier, nearly sixty-four years of age, badly ruptured on my right side and nearly blind. I do not say this to complain, but that you may know my status physically. The Lord has signally blessed me in disposing of the SIGNS from door to door. My heart has been made glad many times as I would go from house to house with the paper, praising the Lord continually for the success attained. This is truly a consecrated work, and the Lord will go before and direct those who engage in it with consecrated hearts. They will not only be blessed themselves, but, like faithful Abraham, will be a blessing to others. It will ever be a source of comfort to me that I improved the opportunity of working with the SIGNS; and I hope to meet in the New Jerusalem many who will have been brought in by such humble instrumentality."
