OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

By Editor

AT Humboldt, Iowa, where Brother J. C. Clemens has been laboring, six converts to the truth are reported.

THE donations of our Sabbath-schools to foreign mission work now aggregate about a thousand dollars a week.

THE fifth annual session of the New Jersey Conference of Seventh-day Adventists will be held in Trenton, October 17-21.

BROTHER D. E. LINDSEY, a minister of long experience in Ohio Conference, has been called to the presidency of Quebec Conference.

A LITTLE Baltimore girl, fourteen years of age, working to pay her way in South Lancaster (Mass.) College, made $60 during the month of July selling Life and Health.

IN reporting progress of meetings held at Mount Carroll, Ill., in the Recorder, Brethren J. C. and F. J. Harris note that two have begun to observe the Sabbath of the Lord.

AT a recent camp-meeting at Kingfisher, O. T., twenty-four candidates were baptized, and some others were to be baptized later. Services were conducted in both German and English.

ON Sabbath, the 1st inst., two members were added to the church in Newark, N. J. Brother E. E. Franke has been laboring there, and these two are in addition to others recently received into the church.

FOX RIVER ACADEMY, at Sheridan, Ill., was opened on the 12th inst. The Recorder says: "Perhaps never have our young people been so interested in securing an education and training for Christian work as at the present time, . . . and we are looking for marked results during the coming year." A new dormitory has been added to the premises, which affords a comfortable home for the young men.

BROTHER F. C. GILBERT, in noting that the Hebrews in various places are beginning to study the New Testament, mentions one company of about three hundred in Boston who meet regularly to study with regard to Christ and His mission. The Jews are more easily reached by Seventh-day Adventists than by any other body of Christians, being already in harmony on two prominent points—the seventh-day Sabbath and the discarding of swine's flesh as food.

THE fall term of Union College, at College View, Neb., began on the 12th inst. President C. C. Lewis writes that good crops and general prosperity, together with other favorable conditions, indicate a large attendance. In setting forth the advantages of the institution, he adds: "Thousands regret their neglect to obtain a good education. Nobody is sorry for a single month spent in school." The school offers preparatory, academic, and college courses; also ministerial, normal, commercial, medical preparatory, and stenographic courses. There are German, Danish, and Swedish departments, and a conservatory of music. Address the president for information in detail.
