Our Work and Workers.

By Editor

Six young people were received into the church at Sioux Rapids, Iowa, April 13.

SIGNS and other denominational papers. Address H. G. Emmons, 765 Fraser Ave., Edmonton, Alta, Canada.

BROTHER A. W. KUEHL, assisted by Brother F. E. Rew, baptized five in the church at Minneapolis, Minn., Sabbath, May 4.

THE Pacific Union Recorder reports two baptized at San Diego, Cal., nine at Escondido, and five added to the church at Redlands.

TEN precious souls were baptized at Claremore, I. T., recently as a result of the labors of Brethren M. H. Gregory and Andrew Nelson.

UNDER the labors of Brother N. M. Jorgenson and wife, and Brother J. H. Schmidt at Lake Preston, S. Dak., four souls have been won to the truth.

THE church at Darbyville, Iowa, has been increased by twelve new members, all of whom were instructed in the way by Brother and Sister L. P. Syp.

IN the latter part of April, Brethren Ben Miller and E. A. Merrill organized a church at Versailles, Kan., of thirteen members, all of them new in the faith.

ONE of our most successful old-time canvassers, Brother Walter Harper, is now taking orders for "Great Controversy" in North Carolina, having gone there from the Pacific Coast.

WE expect to give definite information next week in regard to the location of our mission in the hill country of India.

SABBATH, APRIL 13, three were baptized at Bartley, Neb., and in the evening of the same day a church of ten members was organized by Brethren A. T. Robinson and Chas. Thompson.

TWENTY-ONE signed the covenant to keep all God's commandments, April 27, at Humboldt, Iowa, where Brethren R. E. Burke, J. W. McComas, and J. C. Clemens have formerly labored. On the day following twelve were baptized and a church organized.

THE work in Jamaica is encouraging. Last year 252 were baptized. Nearly one hundred received baptism in the month of February of this year, and nearly as many more are ready for the ordinance. Brother W. G. Kneeland writes that the earthquake served to stir the people up, and our own workers are making the most of it.

THE Gospel Herald is the organ of the Southern Missionary Society, the department of colored work for the Southern Union Conference. All our people ought to be intelligent concerning this feature of our denominational work, therefore all should read the Gospel Herald. It is a four-page monthly paper published at ten cents a year, payable in postage stamps. Please send your subscription to Southern Missionary Society, North Station, Nashville, Tennessee. By so doing you will help the work for the colored people.

THE teachers and students of the intermediate school at Leduc, Alberta, have a zeal for advancing the cause in that new country. On April 1 a company of seventeen of them went into the woods a distance of thirty miles and spent a week cutting sawlogs for lumber which is to be placed at the disposal of the conference for the erection of a school, sanitarium, conference headquarters, or whatever is deemed best. They cut about 1,100 logs in all, which will make 75,000 feet of lumber. To have the logs sawed into lumber will cost the conference only about $7.50 a thousand.

ANOTHER old standard-bearer, who has preached the third angel's message for fifty years, was laid to rest April 23, in his eightieth year. Elder T. M. Steward was born in Glenburn, Me., in 1827, and died at his home in Graysville, Tenn. He accepted present truth in 1852, and has preached it almost continuously ever since, besides serving in positions of trust in the denomination. Of those who embraced the truth thru his labors, and all who have been associated with him in labor and fellowship, many will learn of his death with sadness; yet he fell asleep with a bright hope of a soon-coming Saviour and a speedy restoration of the joys of the saints' inheritance, whose glories he has so faithfully set before the world.
