OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

By Editor

IT has been decided by the Ontario Conference Committee to man two tents the present season.

IN the Southwestern Union Record, Brother D. U. Hale reports the baptism of five candidates at Nocona, Texas.

AS a result of a young people's convention at St. Charles, Mich., a young people's society of thirty-seven members has been organized.

WHILE the Seventh-day Adventists are comparatively few in number, no denomination of Christians is more in touch with all the world. Eighteen new foreign doors were opened during the year 1905.

THE Southern Illinois Herald notes the organization of a church at Urbana, Ill. Twenty-four members united. The services were conducted by Brother W. D. Parkhurst, president of the conference.

Brother Wm. O. Perry, of 1601 Grand Avenue, Tampa, Fla., desires to thank those who so liberally responded to his call for papers for missionary work. He acknowledges receipt of Signs, Review, and Watchman.

IN Eastern Tidings we notice this item: "We have just received word that Dr. Marsh and a nurse will soon arrive in Bombay. This is cheering news, as we are in need of just such help to open the medical work in that city."

AT an annual gathering of the W. C. T. U., held in Mountain View, the home of the Signs, on March 28, the evening program was given over to the Seventh-day Adventists. The exercises were highly commended. The Methodist minister, Rev. Mr. Orr, was also called upon for remarks, and responded briefly.

WRITING from Cove Creek, N. C., to the Wisconsin Reporter, Brother George Crawford says: "A man who publicly abused me two years ago for teaching as I did, now openly acknowledges the Sabbath and says he will keep it." The great "apostle to the Gentiles" was a man who had previously abused the disciples of Christ, publicly and in every way. The conversion of such men is a manifestation of the power of the Holy Spirit. The final conversion of enemies of the truth depends largely upon patient endurance of abuse by those disciples who are subjected to it.

THE Life Boat for April is a Special Prisoners' Number. It is filled with excellent matter, including articles from a number of leading workers in the cause of Christian benevolence. The price of the journal is now 50 cents a year, monthly; single copy, 5 cents; in lots of 100 or more, 2 cents per copy; in lots less than 100, 2½ cents. Address, Life Boat, Hinsdale, Ill. A prisoner converted through the Life Boat mission work writes to the editor that he is now working for a firm in Colorado at a good salary, with the privilege of keeping the Sabbath of the Lord.
