OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

By Editor

IN connection with recent visits of Brother H. Nicola to the church at Glenwood, Mich., four candidates were baptized and added to the church.

The addition of six members to the church at Lafayette, Ind., is noted in the Reporter as a result of labor by Brother B. Hagle, who has been engaged in tent labor there.

BROTHER G. W. REASER reports to the Recorder that the chapel for the benefit of the colored people in a suburb of Los Angeles has been completed, and services are being held regularly.

THE Indiana Reporter notes the addition of two members to the church at Franklin, the result of labor by Sister Rothbaust. Also, that three persons have been added to our ranks at Seymour.

WRITING to the Workers' Bulletin from Lisbon, Portugal, Brother C. E. Rentfro announces the first baptism by our people in that country. Four candidates were baptized by Brother Schwantes. This brother was about to open work in Oporto, a city of 150,000 inhabitants.

AT the recent session of the Canadian Union Conference, Brother W. H. Thurston was re-elected president. Other officers are: Vice-president, Wm. Guthrie; secretary and treasurer, B. B. Noftsger. A formal request was sent to Ohio Conference to liberate Brother J. O. Miller, Academia, that he may accept the invitation to labor at St. Johns, N. F.

IN the Southwestern Union Record, Brother A. P. Heacock reports the baptism of three persons near Hot Springs, Ark., and three others at Little Rock. He also reports that the Sanitarium at Little Rock is enjoying much prosperity and blessing. A new building is now being erected in the suburb of the city, which will more than double the facilities of the institution.

FROM the Southwestern Illinois Herald we clip this testimonial: "The SIGNS OF THE TIMES should have a wider circulation than it has. A good work has been done with the Special number, but we should not wait for these special numbers. A club should be taken in every church and company for use in missionary purposes. Every member could use at least one copy and others could use from five to 100 copies every week. We need to arouse to the importance of the message we bear. The King's business requires haste and activity on the part of every believer."

IN the Canadian Union Messenger, Brother W. H. Thurston says: "The outlook for the work in the Canadian Union Conference was never brighter than at the present time, and we hope for still greater progress in the future. The annual meetings have all been held, and the attendance of the public and the interest manifest at all these gatherings is an evidence that the people in general desire to know the reasons of our faith. The passing of the Dominion Sunday Law is another step in the fulfilment of prophecy. Shall we slacken our efforts now because the Sunday law is passed? Not for an hour; but instead let us move on with more zeal and earnestness warning the people of the impending judgments. Four or five more ministers are being located in the Canadian Union Conference this fall, and they will join us in proclaiming the message by voice and pen, and as we all unite in the different lines of work we shall certainly see gratifying results for all faithful efforts."

THE framework of the Pacific Press Publishing Company's new building is nearly completed as we go to press, and the builders are making every effort to get it under cover before the rain sets in. The clearing away of the debris, gathering out the parts of machinery in the hope of saving some, and the collection of melted type metal from the soil, cleaning bricks for new foundations for the building, for machinery, and for a new vault, have combined to make a tedious job. But willing hearts and busy hands and a determined purpose, under favorable weather and the blessing of God, are showing encouraging results. The work before us beckons us onward, and there is neither time nor inclination to become discouraged when the obstacles loom up. The calls from our agents and missionary workers at large con-
