Our Work and Workers

FIVE new believers have been baptized at Princeton, Illinois.

ELEVEN persons were baptized recently at Newark, New Jersey.

AT Rayville, Louisiana, six persons have accepted the truths of the message.

FOUR received baptism and have enrolled with the church at Enyart, Missouri.

SEVEN persons at Shields, British Columbia, have united to keep the commandments.

AT Jackson, Mississippi, four adults, two of whom are teachers, are awaiting baptism.

SEVEN names were added to the membership of the church at Lexington, Kentucky.

AT Fort Worth, Texas, six have cast their lot on the Lord's side. Two have been baptized at New Hope.

SIXTEEN students of the Keene Industrial Academy at Keene, Texas, were converted and baptized recently.

FIVE new Sabbath-keepers are reported at Indian Spring, Maryland. Others are "in the valley of decision."

FIVE more are numbered with the believers in Auburn, Maine, and two young persons are awaiting baptism.

TWO have decided to obey the truth at Wakefield, California. At Smith River five others have taken their stand.

A COMPANY of thirteen have identified themselves with the Lord's remnant people at Leesburg, Florida. At Jacksonville nine have been baptized.

AT Szechuen, China, Brother Allum, with his charge of eight native canvassers, sold in one month over 10,000 papers. Five persons took their stand for the truth.

PASTOR GEO. F. ENOCH writes encouragingly of the work at Panwel, India, where he is now located. There is little mission work done there, so he is not interfering with other established missions.

DURING the last year at least seventy-seven workers, not counting the children, have entered the mission fields. Many of these are self-supporting, but will work with the interest already established. This number includes those who have gone from Europe and the British colonies to mission fields.

BROTHER R. B. COBERLY reports that during his evangelistic visits in Oklahoma, five united with the company at Claremore, five were converted at Vinita, and sixteen additions were made to the church at Ketchum, all but one being baptized. Illness in his family prevented his visiting Bartlesville, where some are awaiting baptism.

THROUGH the efforts of two alumni of the Loma Linda School of Evangelists, Brethren J. N. H. Tindale and C. E. Garnsey, twenty-six persons have united with the church in Hartford City, Indiana, where they have been laboring. Of this number twenty-four were baptized, the youngest thirteen years of age, and the oldest eighty-eight years. Five of the new members have renounced Catholicism.

THE religious liberty number of the German magazine Zeichen der Zeit, surpasses any number of the paper hitherto published, both in appearance and in contents. Besides articles on religious liberty, there are articles on health and temperance and home. The magazine is well illustrated. The beautiful cover design is the Bartholdi liberty statue, printed in green and black. The price of the magazine is 10 cents.

THE following we glean from an interesting article by R. C. Porter in the South African Missionary regarding work in that field: "Our workers report from one thousand to three thousand magazines sold a week, and this record kept up month after month. The Claremont Union College is filled to the limit of its capacity with a company of young people, most of whom are preparing for work in Africa. Church schools are pressed for teachers. The sanitarium work has prospered the past year as it has not for years. The conferences are pressing an aggressive campaign of evangelistic city mission work which is bringing a harvest of souls into the truth, thirty names being added to the Johannesburg church alone. At Graham's Town the daily papers opened their columns for full reports of the sermons preached, until the entire message was proclaimed from pulpit and press, and the people greatly stirred. In a little over a year the Solusi Mission School has increased from thirty-five students to one hundred and three, and still they knock for admission. The Nyasaland schools, with their one thousand students, are greatly taxing the strength of the workers. Hundreds are turned away, and the calls there for the extension of the work are pitiful. A new magazine has been started with a circulation of from ten to fourteen thousand."
