OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

By Editor

FROM March 15 to April 3 a canvassers' institute will be held at the Harvey (N. D.) Industrial School.

IN connection with the medical work of the Grand Rapids, Mich., treatment rooms, Dr. Patience S. Bourdeau reports that four persons have taken their stand for the truth.

AT the recent annual session of West Michigan Conference, fourteen laborers received ministerial credentials; six were granted ministerial licenses, and missionary licenses were given to sixteen others.

SIX churches in Missouri Conference report that every resident family has the Review and Herald, one of them being the large church in Kansas City. We hope that the ball will keep rolling until all the churches will be on the "roll of honor."

FROM Brother H. C. Balsbaugh, of Memphis, Tenn., we have this good word: "The work here is going on steadily. The colored people now worship in a rented hall, among them being ten new Sabbath-keepers. The colored work is indeed progressing well, being very definitely blessed of God. For this we praise Him with grateful hearts."

IN ordering the Signs for three months to four different addresses, Miss Ethel Prouty, of Everson, Wash., adds to her order these encouraging words: "My father and mother and myself are Sabbath-keepers through the help of the Signs and the tracts we have read. We have not joined the church yet, but we intend to do so as soon as we get an opportunity. We will do all we can to help along the good work that is so much needed at the present time. . . . Many thanks for what your paper has done for us."

FROM the Manitoba Worker we learn that Dr. Gamble, of Kansas, has been making a tour of that province in the interest of the Lord's Day Alliance. His method, of course, is the same that he uses in the States, namely, an Egyptian scheme of conjuring with the calendar to make out that Sunday is the seventh day of the week. But he was met in several places with a liberal distribution of tracts on the Sabbath question and articles in the papers, which considerably tempered the effect of his tirade against Adventists. Our brethren everywhere should keep on hand a stock of the tract, "The True Seventh Day," for use when a community becomes afflicted with "Gamble"ism. It is a brief, yet effective, expose of his farcical theories regarding the Sabbath. It is No. 78, Apples of Gold Library; 24 pp.; price, 1½ cents, or $1.00 per 100.

SOME months ago Brother J. B. Stuyvesant and wife, of Missouri Conference, went to Columbia, South America, to labor. Writing to the Workers' Record, from St. Andrews, Sister Stuyvesant says: "We like the place here very much. The island is nine miles long by three wide, and has a population of about 4,000. The people speak English. The island is one big coconut garden, and is a beautiful place. We have a nice little house by the side of the schoolhouse. The sea washes up at our back fence, and a hill covered with coconut palms is in front of us. The climate is warm all the time, but the sea-breeze is blowing all the time, too, so we do not feel the heat like we did in Missouri. We have a nice little company here, representing seven families. There are five young people in our school who will make good workers. We have started a class in Spanish. We find plenty to do. I have the school, and enjoy the work very much. I find the children are bright, quick, and respectful. Mr. Stuyvesant sells books, holds meetings, etc."
