OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

By Editor

Two young men were recently baptized at Clear Lake, Wis., by Brother J. B. Locken.

The Wisconsin Reporter says that Brother Gellert has been holding meetings about three weeks in Milwaukee, and ten persons have united with the church.

Reporting work at Senjen, Minn., to the Worker, Brother George L. Budd notes the accession of three new Sabbath-keepers, one of whom was baptized.

Sabbath, November 29, at the close of the morning service in Lake Street Church, Minneapolis, three candidates were baptized by Brother A. W. Kuehl. In the afternoon another one was baptized by Brother F. A. Detamore.

The Workers' Bulletin of November 28 says: "Stuart Academy suffered a fire a few days since, which, had it not been held in check by unseen agencies, would have proved very serious. As it is, the damage is not great, and it has been fully settled for by the insurance adjuster, who was especially grateful for the prompt action and remarkable deliverance from total loss."

Brother A. M. Dart reports very interesting meetings at Parkfield, Monterey County, Cal. He reports regular attendants coming eight and nine miles. The people have furnished a house for his family, and stable and feed for his horse, free of charge. To add to the interest of the situation, Brother Dart is now preaching in a hall where, in his younger days, he used to spend whole nights in dancing.

The students of Walla Walla College recently went out on a missionary campaign in and around that city. Reporting to the Recorder, Prof. M. E. Cady gives this result: Sets of Special SIGNS sold, 152; single SIGNS sold, 99; sets of Watchman sold, 18; single Watchman sold, 18; Life and Health sold, 43; books sold, 33; pages of tracts distributed, 4,366. The students are regularly organized in divisions for systematic work.

The Columbia, S. C., State, of November 22, contains a lengthy article on the subject of "Sabbath Observance," by Brother E. W. Webster. The article is in reply to a sermon that had been preached in that city. Brother Webster's reply is a terse and logical presentation of true principle, and its publication is an illustration of what might and ought to be done in many other places, in the way of utilizing the press for the promulgation of truth.

From Brother George M. Brown, of Tacubaya, D. F., Mexico, we have received a twelve-page tract in the Spanish language, entitled, "La Imagen Historica" (The Historical Image). As the title indicates, the tract is a treatise on the second chapter of Daniel. Price, 3 cents, or $1.00 United States money, per 100, post-paid. Address, "La Verdad," Num. 4020, Avenida 20, Tacubaya, D. F., Mexico. It would be well for people who have Spanish friends or acquaintances to order some of these little messengers of truth.

Concerning the canvassing work in Iowa, Brother R. J. Bryant says: "While canvassing in Des Moines a few days ago, one of our canvassers met a man who manifested no interest until the SIGNS OF THE TIMES was mentioned, when he said, 'That is the very paper I have been wanting to subscribe for for some time. I received a barrel of apples from California some time ago that had a few copies of the paper in it, and I think it is the best paper I ever read.' This man gave the canvasser a year's subscription. Our canvassers all over the state are having just such experiences."
