OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

By Editor

THE Wisconsin Reporter notes the addition of two more to the company at Birnamwood.
A NEW church-school building at Battle Creek, Mich., was dedicated on the 16th inst.
IN the West Michigan Herald, Brother R. C. Horton reports the baptism of six candidates at Casco.
THE Indiana Reporter notes that thirteen new Sabbath-keepers have been added to the ranks at West Lebanon.
A CANVASSER' institute will be held at Du Quoin, Ill., March 8-21, under the auspices of the Southern Illinois Conference.
THE brethren at Lindsay, Ont., have purchased a lot on which there is a building which they are converting into a meeting-house.
IN connection with meetings held at Killbuck, Ohio, by Brother B. L. House, six have accepted the Sabbath "according to the commandment."
A NEW Sabbath-school of twenty members at Chicago Heights is reported in the Recorder by Brother Victor Thompson. He adds, "We have commenced to teach a few Chinamen here to speak and read English by the use of 'Gospel Primer.'"
A LACK of faith is sure to bring its regrets. We notice a report from a certain city, in which the writer says: "We had no trouble in selling the 150 SIGNS of the special number at ten cents each. We only regret that we did not order 500 or 1,000."
A LETTER from Brother C. H. Castle, secretary of North England Conference, notes the organization of three churches in that conference thus early in the present year,—in Manchester, Birkenhead, and Leicester. Mrs. Castle began a church school at Kettering—the first in England—January 4.
A ROOM at our industrial school building at Minetto, N. Y., has been dedicated to the purposes of a reading-room, as there was no such place in the town. As the town is near the city of Oswego, the editors of that city gave some good volumes and maps for the room. Other outside friends contributed to the work of finishing and furnishing. Of course our own literature is conspicuous, and the room is open to the public Sunday afternoons, and Tuesday and Thursday evenings. The room can also be used for advanced classes. Brother S. H. Lane delivered an address at the dedication, which was well attended by residents of the town.
THE following extract from a letter from Brother John Hoffman, of Abo, Finland, is published in the Workers' Bulletin: "In Helsingfors, Elder Anderson has a good interest. Here at Abo a few are interested, but they are so slow to take their stand. But God is working on some hearts, and we hope that some may take their stand for Him and His truth. Generally, all the free churches, as they call them here, do not have very many in attendance. But the Lutheran State church is packed all the time. There are many priests here, and they have meetings in nearly all the halls besides their church. They hold their people in very strong bands, so it is hard for any one to break away."
THE school at Sheridan, Ill., has added a small printing plant, making one more feature to its industrial character.
Our "Index" describes all lamps and their proper chimneys. With it you can always order the right size and shape of chimney for any lamp. FREE. Macbeth, Pittsburg, Pa.
