OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

By Editor

FOUR candidates were baptized at Oakland, Ill., May 5, by Brother Chas. Thompson.

INDIANA CONFERENCE is to have four tent companies in the field the present season.

DURING the past quarter, says the Indicator, nine persons have taken their stand for the Sabbath of the Lord in Rochester, N. Y.

IN the Wisconsin Reporter Brethren F. Stebbeds and C. W. Olds mention the baptism of ten church-school children at Cassville, ranging in age from seven to sixteen years.

REPORTING to the Minnesota Worker, Brother A. J. Stone mentions the baptism of seven candidates in the Lake Street church, Minneapolis, on the 3d inst. Three of these were to unite with the Scandinavian church.

IN the Welcome Visitor, Brother D. E. Lindsey reports the baptism of five candidates at Cleveland, Ohio. He also noted his having addressed the Temperance League at Green Spring, and that the saloons had been voted out of town.

THE brethren at Rangoon, Burma, report that they have secured a very desirable place for meetings—a hall formerly occupied by the English Baptists. Brother H. H. Votaw says they secured the place while several other parties were applying for it; and they feel that the Lord overruled in behalf of His cause.

FROM the South African Missionary we learn of the organization of a church of nineteen members (natives) at East London, Cape Colony, under the supervision of Brother G. W. Shone. The same paper mentions the arrival of Brother W. H. Anderson and wife at Cape Town, on their return from America. After stopping a few days there, they started on their long journey northward to the new mission site in Barotseland. Brother Anderson's mother also accompanied him.

IN the assignment of laborers to foreign fields by the General Conference, we note the following recommendations: That Professor L. A. Hoopes, of College View, Neb., go to Australia; Brother J. J. Westrup and wife, of Oregon, to Inland China; D. C. Babcock and wife, transferred from British Guiana to Gold Coast, West Africa; Dr. Law Keem and wife, of California, to China; F. M. Burg, now president of Western Oregon Conference, to Great Britain; Amanda Van Scoy, of Nebraska, to China; A. J. Kennedy, of Ohio, to China; G. W. Casebeer and wife, of Idaho, to South America; J. A. Holbrook, of Montana, to Great Britain; Jacob Hofstra, of West Michigan, to Holland; Dr. Emma Perrine, of Iowa, to Japan. It was also recommended that Brother O. A. Olsen, of the British Union Conference, become president of Australasian Union Conference.
