Our Work and Workers

By Editor

HAPPY NEW YEAR wishes come from the Boulder, Colorado, Sanitarium, with three beautiful views of the main building and its surroundings. We do not know as anything that we could say would exaggerate the beauty of the surroundings of Boulder for pure mountain air, clear, sweet, cold water. There is probably no resort in the country that is any better located. We wish it the abundant patronage which it deserves in the year to come.

WE have received a very neat card from Hinsdale Sanitarium, Hinsdale, Ill., conducted by Dr. David Paulson. The buildings are very neat; and tho the time was winter when the photograph was taken, there was no snow on the ground, tho the trees were bare. The place looks cheery and inviting, and must be a beautiful spot in summer.

ELDER BABCOCK, of the Gold Coast Mission, West Africa, reports the organization of a church of thirty-four at Kickam, in the interior, and in an entirely heathen community, and the only church in the village. A number of years ago the Roman Catholics went among this tribe, but their missionaries were driven out. The Catholics named the tribe the Apollonians, after Apollyon. See Revelation 9:11. But the natives are anxious to hear the message of the Gospel. At Axim there is a church organized of seventeen, and a company of twenty-five at another point, while at Kickam fifteen more are asking for baptism. He closes his letter by saying: "Who will come over and help us? We are in great need of men and means."

MR. W. H. WILD, of Hinsdale, Ill., has a new and instructive Bible picture entitled "Beautiful Zion," illustrating the golden city of Revelation 21. It is lithographed in the colors of the rainbow and varnished. Size, 16 by 20 inches. In addition to the city, it has on the margin several excellent and highly practical illustrations, poetry, and Scriptural references, revealing God's love and His promises, His invitations, and His warnings. It is full of present truth. Mr. Wild promises to send it to any address for only 25 cents; will refund the money if the receiver is not satisfied. Agents are wanted. The book and picture outfit is 75 cents.

BROTHER J. V. WILLSON, in the South African Missionary, gives an interesting account of the children's raising money for missionary purposes by starting with sixpence. One little girl's 12 cents had grown to 60 cents; another's to 50 cents; another's to $1.35; another's to 80 cents; and so on. The net proceeds from the children's work at Kimberley amounted to about $10.50. That would be good work for children everywhere.

BROTHER SNYDER, writing from Cuba, states that he was surprised to find a company of sixteen at Guanajay, near Havana, almost wholly the result of the circulation of the Senales by one sister. Altho she has a family of seven to care for, she has a burden for precious souls.

PROF. GEORGE McCREADY PRICE writes from Loma Linda that they have been having a wonderful spiritual refreshing there. God has come in in great blessing, and they have found that this blessing has not had its effect upon religious meetings alone, but has been mightily helpful in the regular routine work and in all the business of the institutions there. And this is just what ought to be among God's children everywhere.

ELDER C. W. OLDS died at Glendale, California, Nov. 11, 1909, at the age of 77. He had been a devoted minister for many years, mostly in Wisconsin.

NEWS from Turkey states that the country is in an uncertain condition. Now that the government receives soldiers from Christians, many of the young men who are conscientious against serving are leaving the country.
