OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

At Seymour, Ind., a church of nineteen members was recently organized, all but four being newly converted.

THREE have accepted present truth at Columbia, Okla., under the labors of Brother and Sister T. J. Hickman.

OF the work in Indianapolis, Ind., the Reaper states: "Three adults who have received Bible-readings from our workers united with the church."

BROTHER C. L. BUTTERFIELD, writing from Tillamook, Ore., to the North Pacific Union Gleaner, says: "The Foley Sunday-school voted to discontinue the Sunday-school and meet on Sabbath. Accordingly, last Sabbath when the time arrived there were over twenty persons gathered for Sabbath-school and meeting. Of this number, there will be about fifteen that will be regular members."

THE company at Keokuk, Iowa, has been increased by seven members during the last three months thru the labors of Brother and Sister G. R. Hawkins.

A CHURCH of nine members was organized at Maynesburg, Ky., March 16, by Brethren Pogue and Sanford of the Cumberland Conference.

A GERMAN bark called at Pitcairn Island, Dec. 24, 1906. The commander was informed that there was no sickness on the island, and that everything was well with them.

THE total number of believers in the Australian Union Conference, which includes Australia, the Philippines, Singapore, and a number of other island groups, is reported to be 4,095.

O. H. MCCRILLIS, of Bethel, Wis., makes a plea that the Signs and Life Boat should be furnished for the people in insane asylums, not only for many of the patients who are rational,—cured or nearly so,—but also for the helpers and caretakers. His experience leads him to believe that such good reading would be greatly appreciated in these asylums throughout the United States.

A SMALL company of believers are holding forth the truth in Ketchikan, Alaska, where Brother A. M. Dart and wife are laboring. He writes: "At our Sunday night meeting we have a regular attendance of a score or more of Metlhakatla Indians. They are quite well educated, speak English well, and are better acquainted with their Bibles, on the whole, than many professed Christians wearing a fairer skin."

A LETTER from Prof. J. L. Shaw, of India, tells us that more special attention is being given to the work among the natives and the learning of native languages. Brother James has been sent to southern India to open up the work among the Tamil people. In the Tinnevelly district there are five hundred Sabbath-keepers. We hope soon to report the establishment of a home in the hill country for which funds have been raised. The matter is under consideration now, but the missionaries there wish to decide wisely and well.
