OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

By Editor

THE church at Fresno, Cal., has a flourishing church school of thirty-five members.
AT St. Clair, Nev., twenty-two persons were recently baptized by Brother S. Thurston.
THE Reaper reports the baptism of three candidates at Lennville, Idaho, by Brother W. F. Martin.
A LETTER from Brother Edwin Kirkconnell, Bonacco Island, says: "We were visited by a severe northwest gale on the 12th ult., lasting twenty-four hours. Eleven lives and three boats were lost. Half of the lives were those of Seventh-day Adventists, members of our church—all drowned."
It has been recommended by the General Conference that Brother N. W. Kauble, late superintendent of General Conference district No. 4, and president of Union College, take the presidency of Illinois Conference.
THE General Conference has made some important calls on California—Brother N. C. McClure to take charge of Arizona mission field, and Brother E. E. Andross to go to England. But the number is made up by sending Brother C. N. Martin, of Montana, and C. M. Gardner, of Utah, to California.
A CORRESPONDENT in Fresno, Cal., writes: "A little girl went out the other day to sell the SIGNS. Rather timidly she knocked at a door, and when a gentleman opened it she asked, 'Would you like to buy a SIGNS, sir?' No, he didn't wish one; but, thinking to please her, he asked, 'What does your paper tell about?' 'About Jesus,' she answered sweetly. The gentleman's manner quickly changed, and in a different tone he said, 'O, if it tells about Jesus, I'll take one!' This little girl was doing what the children did in the temple at Jerusalem on the day when Christ rode into that city in triumph—she was sounding the praise of Jesus. And He says, 'I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto Me.' John 12:32. Our work is to lift up the name of Jesus."
