OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

By Editor

AT the last quarterly-meeting of the church in Oklahoma, O. T., three members were added by baptism.

THE twelfth session of the Oklahoma Conference will be held in connection with the camp-meeting at Oklahoma City, August 24 to September 3.

BROTHER D. U. HALE reports nine new Sabbath-keepers at Nacogdoches, Texas. Also that some brethren at Douglas are planning to build a new schoolhouse.

OUR sympathies are extended to Brother C. B. Rule, one of our Virginia ministers, who has been bereaved of his wife, a faithful and devoted helper in the work of the Lord, who fell asleep July 13, 1905.

A CHURCH of seventeen members has been organized at Waco, Texas, by brethren W. M. Cubley and W. W. Eastman. These brethren recently dedicated a new church building at Levi, in McLennan County.

THE addition of fifty to the membership in the East Prussian Conference, and seventy in the West German Conference, during the past quarter, is reported. In the other fields in Europe there had been additions.

IN the Review we notice the following departures to foreign fields: Brother J. W. Westphal and Sister Carrie Segebert for Argentina, South America; Brother D. C. Babcock and wife for the Gold Coast, Africa; and Brother J. J. Westrup, wife, and child for Honan, China.

AT Logan, Kansas, where S. W. Gamble, the noted Sunday agitator, had been making a great noise, Prof. A. T. Jones, of Battle Creek, Mich., recently preached two strong sermons to large audiences in the opera house. This presentation of the truth was well received by the people.

A LETTER from Brother B. J. Cady, of Society Islands, tells of the baptism of a Scandinavian brother in Raiatea. This man attended our first meeting in that island about fourteen years ago. Last June his two children were baptized at the time of the Eastern Polynesian Conference session. The seed of truth sometimes does not bear fruit till after many days.

BROTHER H. F. COURTER, formerly of California, but more recently of Georgia, writes encouragingly of his self-supporting work. At the last quarterly-meeting of the church at Atlanta he baptized two sisters, the Baptist church being used for the occasion. He usually attends the Baptist Sunday-school, and either teaches a class or reviews the lesson. His address is Decatur, Ga., R. F. D. No. 3.

AT the recent session of the South Dakota Conference, it was decided to support a laborer in some foreign field designated by the General Conference, and to pay $12 a week toward the support of a laborer in Korea. It was also recommended that every church and isolated Sabbath-keeper assume the responsibility of supplying every family in their community with a complete set of the new "Signs of the Times Leaflets." All of which is worthy of emulation by all conferences that have not done likewise.

WRITING from St. Elmo, Chattanooga, Tenn., Dr. O. C. Godmark says: "I am now out with a tent, having a splendid interest among the better classes here in St. Elmo, just at the foot of old Lookout Mountain. I started in with the tent entirely alone, with no help of any kind—not even a tent-master or organist or cook—which of course went pretty hard with me. However, things have changed around so that I have a good helper in the speaking and a good company of Bible-workers to assist in the visiting." He tells us that the SIGNS is indispensable.

THE "Third Annual Announcement of Lornedale Academy" is at hand in the form of a neat pamphlet of twelve pages and cover. This institution is located at Lorne Park, Ontario, Canada, having a land attachment of fifty acres. In addition to some industrial training, the educational advantages comprise a primary, an intermediate, and a preparatory course, together with a special course, music, etc. The first term of the third year will begin September 20 and continue thirteen weeks. For further information, address the principal, Prof. Eugene Leland, Lorne Park, Ont.
