OUR people should beware of wolves in sheep's clothing. If any one comes to you assuming large proportions, and claiming to be a minister in good standing from Missouri or some other place, etc., etc., ask him to show his commission. An unknown worker has no right to travel without his credentials; and if he does not produce them, do not allow your sympathies to be aroused. Then, too, you ought always to send your donations through the tract society, and when a slick stranger comes along and puts up a smooth tale, you can inform him that his cause will be assisted, but that the money will have to go through the regular channel. Whatever you do, don't intrust a stranger with money—and many of our people have sincerely regretted having given or loaned money to men whom they thought they knew.—Workers' Bulletin.
A LETTER from Brother J. D. Baker, who, with his wife, has been connected with the sanitarium at Leicester, England, for some time, gives an encouraging word for the work on that side of the Atlantic. He says: ``All our people in Europe are becoming fired with the missionary spirit. The brethren of Germany are supporting three stations in German East Africa. We have one young man on the way to British East Africa, and a sister is soon to start for the same place. Scandinavia is sending Brother and Sister Jensen (Danish) to Abyssinia. This makes almost a complete chain of missions on the northeastern and southern coast of Africa.'' These results come of increased faithfulness in the systematic payment of tithes and offerings. Faithfulness in restoring to the Lord that which is due in tithes and offerings, are His conditions of pouring out blessing. See Mal. 3:7-12.
JULY 15, a church of fifteen members was organized at Wheelock, N. D.
RECENT labor at Richville, N. D., has resulted in the baptism of twelve converts to the faith.
THE name of the industrial school at Harvey, N. D., has been changed to Sheyenne River Academy.
AUGUST 6, three children were baptized in Muskoka Lake, Ont., by Brother A. O. Burrill, president of the provincial conference.
REPORTING to the Herald concerning the progress of tent-meetings at Niles, Mich., Brethren H. C. Pitton and W. E. Videto say that ``six are awaiting baptism.''
THE Union Conference Record says that Brother R. A. Caldwell, having completed his canvassing work in Hong Kong, China, has gone to Yokohama, Japan.
THE Sabbath-school donations of the Australasian Union Conference for the present quarter go to the support of the work in New Guinea. This note has an encouraging sound.
A SISTER who has labored in Australia, but who has removed to Berkshire, England, tells of her tract work near home. She says: ``Many thanked me for my trouble, as they called it. But to me it is not trouble, but pleasure, as it is the happiest time of my life when I am out with tracts. I praise the dear Lord for the strength He gives me for His work.'' When this sentiment becomes more general, the message will soon go to the world, and no Seventh-day Adventist press will have to run on common work in order to pay expenses.
