OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

By Editor

BROTHER GEORGE E. LANGDON has been transferred from California to the new North Pacific Union Conference, and Prof. E. D. Sharpe succeeds him as superintendent of young people's work in California Conference.

WRITING from Rome, Italy, Brother C. T. Everson notes the baptism of two candidates, "one a teacher in the public schools and the other a professor of music." He also says: "We are kept very busy here. I give three, and sometimes as many as five, Bible-readings a day."

OUR colaborer, the Watchman, published at Nashville, Tenn., has also moved out of the city, and into a new building in the suburbs. The new address is Twenty-fourth Avenue, Nashville, Tenn. The Watchman is published by the Southern Publishing Association, whose special field is the Southern Union Conference.

WRITING to the Wisconsin Reporter, Brother L. E. Sufficool says: "At the close of a short series of meetings, held by the writer at Bloomville, twenty-one made a start for the kingdom, the greater number of whom had never made any profession. To the Lord be all the praise. Truly we are living in the time of the latter rain."

FROM Kulangsu, Amoy, China, under date of January 22, Brother W. C. Hankins writes: "The work here is onward; last week three bright young native preachers took their stand for the truth. You may be sure our hearts rejoice, as it is a sign of God's working in this province. The circumstances of their taking their stand are quite remarkable, and show that it is not of man, but of God. Our courage is good, and we are glad to have a part in giving the good news of the soon-coming Saviour to the millions of China."

LAST week we noted the death of Brother D. A. Ball, a minister of New York conference. He died February 12, at Lockport, of cancer of the stomach. He was aged 56 years, having been a minister of the faith since 1879. All but two years of this time was spent in New York Conference. In 1890 he went to the West Indies, where he labored two years. He was faithful in all his labors, which were fruitful in souls. He was buried near Ellicottville, and funeral services were conducted by Brethren S. H. Lane and J. W. Raymond.

A NEW sanitarium has been started at Santa Cruz, Cal., by Brother W. G. Mills and wife, and Dr. Laura Thinius. Mrs. Mills is a graduate nurse, and Dr. Thinius is both a graduate nurse and a graduate physician. The Ocean View Sanitarium is located at 120 High Street, from which is a fine view of the city and the mountains. It is designed to dedicate the institution to the Lord's service, and carry on medical missionary work. They desire the prayers of the Lord's people. All the advantages of the country. Carriage at the depot every day.
