OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

By Editor

A CHURCH of nineteen members has been organized at Shattuck, Okla.

AT the camp-meeting held at Darby, Mont., last month, six persons were baptized. Seventeen subscriptions were taken for the SIGNS.

EIGHT persons were baptized at Flagstaff, A. T., October 6, by Brother J. E. Bond. As many more were expecting to be baptized soon afterward.

FROM Mabelvale, Ark., Brother H. Clay Griffin reports the baptism of four converts in connection with meetings in that place, and the interest was still encouraging.

IN the Pacific Union Recorder, Brother Marcial Serna reports the baptism of two candidates at Clifton, A. T., and one at Globe. The labors of Brother Serna are among Spanish-speaking people.

SOME of the sisters of our home church have forwarded a box of clothing, bedding, and table linen to the Oakwood Manual Training School, at Huntsville, Ala., whose main building was recently destroyed by fire.

A NOTE from Brother Warren Latham, of Lakeside, Wash., reports the baptism of ten persons on the 14th ult. In connection with his work there, he has secured the publication of fourteen Bible readings in the local paper.

BROTHER J. N. LOUGHBOROUGH arrived in Mountain View, October 26, from a visit to Battle Creek, Mich., where he had been called to some special labor for a few weeks. His brother, W. K. Loughborough, whose son is employed in this office, accompanied him.

WRITING to the Union Reaper from Thief River Falls, Minn., Brother J. F. Anderson reports that as a result of tent labors in that place, thirteen persons have been baptized. Several others have accepted the truths presented who have not been baptized as yet.

AT Arecibo, Porto Rico, a man and his wife were baptized September 29, by Brother J. C. Brower, who, with his wife, had arrived there two days before from Michigan. A meeting was held on the river bank. The following day a church of twelve members was organized, and the ordinances were celebrated.

OUR monthly journal, El Centinela de Verdad, published in Porto Rico, has a monthly circulation of between 4,000 and 5,000. The paper is edited by Brother B. E. Connerly, and a gentleman recently told him that these papers are passed around from one to another until they are read by 9,000 or 10,000 people.

FROM the Northern Union Reaper we learn that the brethren of the Minneapolis church have commenced an active campaign with the SIGNS and Liberty, our religious liberty periodical. October 14 they ordered 2,360 copies of Liberty and sixty yearly subscriptions to the SIGNS. This, however, was designed only as a beginning.

A NOTE from Brethren H. Shultz, C. M. Gardner, and — Taphouse, engaged in tent work at Mount Bullion, Cal., says they have had good attendance, and that so far ten had decided to "keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus." They were also holding some meetings at Snow Creek, where two persons had accepted the faith.

THE Missionary News Letter says: "On Sunday, October 14, eight persons were baptized in the First Baptist church, at Pleasantville, N. J., preparatory to uniting with the Atlantic City church. Elder Jayne officiated. The pastor of the church was very kind, attending himself and inviting his people to attend. Others in Atlantic City are now awaiting baptism."

IN the Nebraska Reporter, Brother L. Johnson notes the addition of five members to the churches in Omaha, Neb. One of them is a sister seventy-nine years of age. Two united with the English church, and three with the Scandinavian. In the same paper Brother C. Swenson reports the addition of two converts to the church at Gothenburg. Two others were to unite soon after.

WRITING to the Wisconsin Reporter from Amoy, China, under date of September 13, Brother B. L. Anderson says: "The message is onward in Fookin Province. Just recently five persons were baptized; three here in Amoy and two up at Chin Chew—a city of one hundred thousand inhabitants and about seventy miles from Amoy. From the reading of Brother Keh's tract on the Sabbath and other sources, eight or ten souls are now keeping all the commandments of God at Chin Chew. A mission will be opened there in a few days and the Third Angel's Message permanently established.

"Tobacco and the Sabbath have no more fellowship in China than in the States. Two old men of sixty-five and seventy-six years have thrown away their tobacco. We are looking forward to September 22 with a great deal of anticipation, for on that Sabbath day, the Lord willing, we shall organize a Chinese Seventh-day Adventist church here in Amoy. This will be our first church in Fookin Province."
