OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

By Editor

THE baptism of three candidates at Grand Rapids, Mich., is noted in the Herald.

EIGHT new Sabbath-keepers at McHugh, Minn., are reported in the Worker by Brother H. Steen.

SEVEN converts are reported at Bowdle, S. D., where Brother V. Leer has been conducting meetings.

THE Congregational church at Battle Creek, Mich., was recently opened to a series of health lectures by physicians of the sanitarium.

A RECENT report from Brother George F. Enoch, Bridgetown, Barbados, mentions the baptism of sixteen candidates. He also reports large audiences at Sunday night meetings.

WRITING from Edinburg, Scotland, January 11, to the New York Indicator, Brother W. A. Westworth reports the admission of twenty-nine persons to church fellowship during the past quarter.

IN the South Dakota Worker, Brother L. D. Randall states that nine different papers in Sioux Falls gave favorable reports of meetings held in that city. Six of these journals are English, one Danish-Norwegian, and one German.

WRITING of the progress of the work in Great Britain, Brother O. A. Olsen notes the baptism of seventeen persons in West London, with others soon to follow, and a church to be organized; five baptized at Southampton, six at Newport, ten at Abertillary, Wales, and a church of twenty-four members to be organized at East Cowes, Isle of Wight.

WE have received from the Central New England Tract Society, South Lancaster, Mass., a pamphlet entitled, "The Marriage Supper of the Lamb." The subject is one of more than ordinary importance at this stage of the world's history, and is stated in a logical and instructive manner by the author, A. E. Place, president of Central New England Conference. 32 pp.; price 2 cents, or $1.50 per 100.

THE Seventh-day Adventist ministers connected with the work in Washington, D. C., recently issued "An Appeal to Clergy," being an open letter on the subject of Sunday observance. The matter was first published in the Washington Post, but has been issued in tract form in order that it may be circulated in unlimited quantity. 8 pages; price 40 cents per 100, or $3.75 per 1,000. Order of Review and Herald, 222 North Capitol Street, Washington, D. C.

OF the work in Mexico, Brother George M. Brown, superintendent of that mission field, says: "This country must be warned, and what is done must be done quickly. Already there is agitation for Sunday rest, closing of stores, etc., and the Roman Church is constantly increasing her hold on affairs. Already in some places the reform laws are practically a dead letter, and the civil power is dominated by the church, while priests and nuns go boldly forth in defiance of law."

OUR Washington health journal, Life and Health, is meeting with marked success. The Review says that five hundred new subscriptions were added to the list during January, and a large number of single copies were sold. This indicates that, as the Review says, "the public may recognize in this little health messenger a simplicity and a national application of the fundamental principles of health, and they want it." Monthly; 50 cents a year. Address, Review and Herald, 222 North Capitol Street, Washington, D. C.

IN the Review of the 9th inst. is a statement of the Washington Building Fund, showing that over $44,000 is yet lacking to make up the $100,000 required to be raised by May 11, when the General Conference is to convene in that city. This fact is a personal appeal to our people to lift in this matter; it is especially an appeal to those in America who have means that could be producing a blessing instead of lying dormant, or being invested in worldly projects. It is now too late to depend entirely on the small donations of the poorer classes who are always giving of their small incomes. Of course they will make it up in time, if the well-to-do are not disposed to donate proportionately; but it would be better for the latter class and for the cause if they would respond at once. The cause at Washington is a pressing one, and much is depending upon the completion of unfinished and contemplated buildings.

Religious Liberty Leaflets.

No. 1. "Principles Too Little Understood," 8 pp. No. 2. "Sunday Laws Their Origin, Nature, and Object," 8 pp. No. 3. "The Logic of Sabbath Legislation; What Sabbath Laws Mean," 8 pp. No. 4. "The Civil Sabbath; Nature of Sabbath Legislation," 12 pp.

These new tracts are written by W. A. Colcord, secretary of the Religious Liberty Bureau, of Washington, D. C., and contain matter that ought to be in the hands of the people everywhere. Each tract, envelope size, can be had from either of our publishing houses, at the rate of 40 cents per 100. Every lover of religious liberty ought to keep a stock on hand, to use in correspondence or to give away as occasion offers. Order of this office; of Review and Herald, 222 North Capitol Street, Washington, D. C.; or of Southern Watchman, Nashville, Tenn.

WE have received specimen copies of special editions of our German, Danish, and Swedish papers, published at College View, Neb. These contain, among other good things, the "Appeal to Clergy" recently issued by the Seventh-day Adventist ministers of Washington, D. C., and a telling article on "Spiritualism," by Brother R. C. Porter, president of Missouri Conference. The titles of these journals are: Christlicher Hausfreund (German), Sions Vaktare (Swedish), and Evangeliet Sendebud (Danish-Norwegian). The price of each is, five papers for 10 cents, or 100 papers for $1.50. Address International Publishing Association, College View, Neb.
