OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

By Editor

FIVE candidates were recently baptized at Burnt Lake, Alberta, by Brother C. A. Anderson.

IN the Northern Union Reaper, Brother F. A. Detamore reports the baptism of seven persons at St. Paul, Minn., August 25.

ON the 1st inst., eight members were received into the church at Otsego, Mich., four by baptism. The brethren are preparing a room for a church-school.

A SERIES of tent-meetings, conducted by Brother O. O. Bernstein at St. Cloud, Minn., closed on the 2d inst., with seven converts to the faith. Two of the number are teachers.

UNION COLLEGE, at College View, Neb., opened on the 12th inst., with an enrolment of 204 students. Two days before the church school at College View opened with over ninety pupils.

BROTHER H. H. BURKHOLDER, president of Ohio Conference, reports to the Visitor that a church of twenty members was organized at Charloe on the 4th inst. Fifteen candidates were baptized by Brother W. E. Bidwell.

NEW treatment rooms have been opened in Fort Worth, Texas, under the supervision of Dr. D. C. Ross. The place is fitted for any treatment given at any of our sanitariums. Address, 1008½ Houston Street, between Ninth and Tenth.

A NEW church building at Eaton, Ind., was dedicated on the 2d inst. The services were conducted by Brother W. J. Stone, president of the conference, and Brother U. S. Anderson, who has had charge of the work at Eaton for a year past.

AT the recent camp-meeting at Troy, Ohio, the following brethren were ordained to the Gospel ministry: W. E. Bidwell, C. A. Pedicord, C. T. Redfield, and J. E. Shultz. The charge was delivered by Brother R. A. Underwood, and prayer was offered by Brother I. H. Evans, both of the General Conference.

At the recent camp-meeting of Ontario Conference, held at Paris, nineteen persons were baptized. In addition to this good result, the Messenger says, "The spirit of sacrifice on the part of the brethren in helping forward every branch of the work, is an indication that the latter rain is about to be poured out upon the people of God, and that the coming of the Lord is near."

AT the last session of the Wisconsin Conference, it was recommended that each church, as far as practicable, elect a local religious liberty secretary, who shall look after local interests, and improve every opportunity for disseminating appropriate literature. He is also to keep in touch with the state secretary. The recommendation is a good one for all conferences not so provided.

THE Southwestern Union Record says: "Prof. H. E. Giddings is now at Keene preparing matter in the form of petition blanks and small leaflets to be used in Oklahoma and Indian Territory during the agitation upon the formation of the constitution of the new state of Oklahoma. It will be ready soon, and our people in that field should be ready to assist in getting the matter before the people."

ALL the work done in the Signs office now, is done within a few rods of the ruins of our once splendid establishment; but there is always something to encourage us in the struggle with difficulties. Last week a telegram from the C. B. Cottrell house informed us that all the parts necessary for the repair of our large rotary Signs press had been shipped by express. It will mean much to our convenience to have this machine once more doing its accustomed work.

SURELY the new Sheyenne River Academy in North Dakota, starts out with an excellent material prospect. Prof. N. W. Lawrence, so well known in connection with the Mount Vernon (Ohio) Academy, is now in charge. Writing to the Reaper of the favorable outlook, he says: "We are pleased with what we find at the academy. Controlling this year about six hundred acres of land, with nearly five hundred acres of crops, and practically owning four hundred acres with but little liability, the school has a pretty sure foundation upon which to build. When we add to this, two substantial school buildings and a good supply of stock and tools with which to operate the farm, we are led to congratulate our brethren in this conference for their faithful efforts which show such results in so short a time."
