Our Work and Workers.

A CHURCH of eleven members has been organized at Longdale, Okla.

FOUR adults were baptized recently at Kelleyville, Okla., by Brother W. T. Ramsey.

THE brethren at Caldwell, Idaho, recently dedicated a new church building free of debt.

SISTER MARGARET E. YOUNG reports the baptism of one of her readers, with two others, at Council Bluffs, Iowa.

EIGHT new converts were baptized at the close of a recent Central American Conference, held at Caxen Hole, Ruatan, Bay Islands.

EIGHT children and youth gave their hearts to God at Fargo, N. D., in a meeting recently held by Brethren C. L. Benson and J. F. Simon.

AT the late council of the General Conference Committee at Washington, D. C., arrangements were made for sending about twenty workers from the United States to foreign fields, some to take the places of those returning on account of failing health, and others to swell the army of workers in distant fields.

"LAST Sabbath it was our privilege to accept into the Cleveland (Ohio) church twenty-four members,—nineteen on profession of faith and five by letter. A number of others are deeply interested, and some have this week made request for baptism."

—R. G. Patterson.

BROTHER C. H. PARKER, Buresala, Fiji, writes: "The work in this part of the Master's vineyard continues to advance, and we see persons coming into the light of the glorious message for this time. Lately five half-castes have taken their stand for the truth at Suva."

THE first tent-meeting ever held in Brazil began February 12. The brethren themselves made the tents, and one of the brethren furnished money for an organ. A successful meeting was conducted, and the brethren report good progress. Those attending the meeting were Germans and Brazilians, about equally divided.

WRITING of a meeting held at Goldsberry, Mo., May 2, Brother H. B. Steele tells of a sermon preached by Brother Meade MacGuire: "The Spirit of God witnessed to the message borne, and thirteen precious souls responded to the call to surrender all. Baptism took place Sunday afternoon, when twelve dear souls followed their Saviour in this solemn ordinance. Two others were ready, but on account of rain were not present."

"SABBATH, April 25, baptism was administered by the writer to nine willing souls, eight of whom united with the Trenton (N. J.) church. Six of the candidates were members of one family. Another was a pronounced atheist. He borrowed "Thoughts on Daniel and Revelation" for the purpose of combating its teachings; but the prophetic truths burned their way into his soul, and, needless to say, he is now engaged in pushing the sale of the book that brought him to the truth."

—B. F. Kneeland.
