Work and Workers

By W. H. S.

SINCE the organization of a Servian church in St. Louis, Missouri, recently, we have Seventh-day Adventist churches in the United States with a membership composed of each of the various nationalities now at war.

AFTER "Billy" Sunday's recent revival effort in Pittsburgh, thirty-six Bible study classes were formed in different parts of the city. Something like nine of these sought to have one of our Bible workers take charge.

THE possibly incomplete reports that have been received, give the number of baptisms of believers in the United States from the end of June through the first part of September as about 1,600. Possibly half of these were children of believers. About 500 others were reported as newly observing the Sabbath, but either already baptized, or not yet prepared.

The corresponding figures for Canada and Newfoundland were about 130 and 40 respectively.

Reports received during the last two months from Australia and the islands are probably incomplete, but give the totals as being about 140 baptized and 30 new Sabbath keepers. W. H. S.
