Entered at Denver Post Office as Seeddd.tlass Mail Matter. GENERAL ARtICLES. Liberty. I am in receipt of a letter from Wash- ington regarding the circulation of the magazine, Liberty. Brother Colcord states that this journal is to be. increased in size and retail price, but the Review and Herald Publishing Association have decided not to raise the subscrip- tion price, nor the price when supplied by Conferences or local Missionary Societies to legislators or other import- ant classes of individuals. While it will be a forty-eight-page magazine, and will sell at ten cents per copy; the sub- scription price will remain at 25 cents a year, and when furnished to legis- lators, only 15 cents per annum will be changed. At our camp meeting in Denver we voted to send the magazine to legisla- tors and district judges, and I am in- formed that it is now going to those individuals. In some conferences, how- ever, •the churches have taken the mat- ter up and are sending the journat to. all the influential men in their territory. It seems to be, brethren, that it is one splendid way in which to meet the is- sue before us. � Think of it. Any church can select one hundred of the most prominent ,men in the neighbor hood, and send them the truth on this great question of religious liberty for the paltry sum of $15. Any person who has studied the struggle of liberty in Europe during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries cannot fail to realize that but a very small per cent of the reformers themselves understood the, meaning of the term "religious liberty." Otherwise we would not read of such men as Bishop Crammer urging the king of England to put a woman to death because or her opinion regarding the incarnation of Christ. Calvin Cranmer, Melanathon, Bruce and others believed in liberty for themselves. Even so today the Ameri- can people believe in liberty. This is evidenced in the struggle between the rich and poor for civil liberty, as also in the attempt of the Sunday Christians to make every one keep quiet on that day so that they may have liberty. Now, brethren, we have been called of God to enlighten the world on this great question ; for no man can pleach the "Third Angel's MesLge" without ex- plaining where. Caesar's authority ends and where God's begins. Furthermore. beloved, the more diligent we are in this matter now, the less we shall suffer in the conflict that is closing in upon us. Because many who learn to understand these principles today will undoubt- edly be used of God to assist us- then. Then let us rally round the blood- stained banner of Immanuel, and show by our actions that we appreciate the liberty so dearly bought for us. Again, brethren, there are many scores among us, old and young, that can take a forty-eight page magazine on liberty and sell them readily at ten cents per copy; thus spreading the truth and mak- ing good wages at the same time. Many who cannot successfully handle our large books can take up this work and make a grand success. This is pre-eminently a magazine age, and when so many are looking for something new the simple title of the journal will sell it, especial- ly noW that the National Reformers are spreading their literature and the strife between the classes is the topic ever- where. Permit the to mention briefly one outer pan tor closing this letter, namely, the taking of subscriptions. Who could not take a copy of the jour- nal and get subscriptions for it at the rate of 25 cents per annum? Who could not get twenty-five subscriptions between row and Christmas? Think of it, brethren, fifty thousand readers of Liberty in Colorado not simply a possibility—but easy. Who will send in the first list of names? Address all orders to the Colorado Tract Society, Tr t2 Kalamath street, Denver, Colo. Yours for Liberty, M. Macintosh.. . The Missionary Volunteer Convention. Many inquiries have come in as to whether there would be a young people's convention this winter. We are glad to announce, that it has been decided to hold a convention at Palisades during the holidays, December 26-3o. We would be glad if we could hold another on the Eastern Slope, but as this is im- possible, we hope each church will make an effort to send .at least one delegate, even though it is a long distance. These meetings have been demonstrated ECHOES FROM THE FIELD. to be a very great blessing to those who attend and to the work in general. It is hoped that every church on the Western Slope will send a full delega- tion. The brethren at Palisades have promised to entertain the delegation as. the Boulder church did last winter. All who expect to attend, please write me at once, so that arrangements may be made for the program. Where there is a will, there is a way, and those who really desire to attend, and who will work and pray earnestly to that end, will find that the Lord will open the way for them. � Meade MacGuire. FIELD REPORTS. Niwot. Elder Aufderhar was present with us at our last quarterly meeting and preached a very interesting sermon on the subject of prayer and the kingdom of grace in the heart, closing with an earnest appeal to the unconverted. The Spirit of God came in with its melt- ing influence and five of our young people gave their hearts to God, each desiring baptism. This brought rejoic- ing to all present. The ordinances of the Lord's house were celebrated. Every member of this little church was present and answered to the roll call in encouraging testimonies of thanks- giving. Each renewed their consecra- tion to God, expressing the desire to be more faithful in the future. Death had visited th4 little company only a few days before, and . removed from our midst a faithful member in the person of Sister Miller, who died after two days of suffering with la grippe and heart failure. We laid her to rest until the Life Giver comes to call forth the righteous. Laura Lippincott. Denver. Our hearts are filled with gladness and praise to God for his rich blessings which we are enjoying in his work in Denver. Calls are coming from inter- ested ones in all parts of the city for us to visit them, and study the Bible with them. Souls are continually em- bracing the truth. Sabbath, November 9, eight more were buried with Christ in baptism. � G. W. Anglebarger. From Nebtaska to Colorado. October 31 I left College View to make Colorado my field of labor. With- out previous knowledge on my part, a ittle army of forty-eight, mostly young people, left that same day and on the same train, under the leadership of El- der Luther Warren, for Loma Linda, Calif., where they intend to be fitted in one years' time for usefulness in some branch of the Lord's work. Elder War- ren invited me to be with them in a special car, which invitation I accepted, gratefully, so we traveled together as far as Denver. They intended' to go as far as Colorado Springs on Friday, where they planned to stop over Sab- bath and a part of Sunday. There was some talk of several of the party climbing Pike's Peak during the night after Sabbath, in order to see the sun rise from there on Sunday morning. If that plan has been execut- ed, I think some will have learned on that trip that there are no roses with. out thorns, no victories without bat- tles ; and that we cannot reach any high aim in life without most earnest effort on our part. Every soul will ex- perience that in the school of life, and these bright and noble young souls will find it out in the school in Loma Linda also, but, my dear brethren and sisters, a glorious prize; the richest reward imaginable is promised by him whose promises are all yea and amen in Christ Jesus ; a beautiful victor's crown ; eter- nal life with joy everlasting awaits us if true and faithful to the end of the journey. It is well worth the most ear- nest efforts and all the discomforts, want, trouble and tribulation that we may be called to experience. "Heaven is cheap enough !" The sufferings of this time are not worthy to be compared to the glory which will be revealed to us. May God help thee young people, and may he' help us all to leave the past, and press forward to the heavenly call- ing in Christ Jesus, and reach it through the grace and the power of our God. We believe that God leads and guides in all things. In the greater things of life that is often so clearly seen that almost all can se it. In the smaller mat- ters it is often not so clearly seen, and yet we read in the scriptures that God has counted even the hairs of our head; and that not a sparrow falls to the ground without our father's notice; that he knows all our grief ; and our tears are counted by him: and all our ways are known to him, and that he is ac- quainted with the smallest details of our life and work. 0 that we might in the hour of sadness cling to this fact and 'find comfort in it, that our way is not hidden to him, and that he, when we ask for his gujdan&• and his lead- ing, will surely l6.'d and guide us in all things. Sabbath November 2, I began meet- ings here in the. little church seven 'miles from La Salle. The enemy has done 'some of his scattering work here, and seems to have worked discouragement among the brethren. But I hope that God will work mightily' on hearts and that some souls will soon stand united- ly on the platform of truth. Remember us here, dear brethren and sisters, when you lift your hearts and voice to the mercy seat. Theo. E. M. Valentiner. A Triple Blessing for Young People. A little girl was heard to say, at the close of her evening prayer, "And I saw a poor little girl on the street to- day, cold and hungry, but it's none of our business, is it, God?" None of us would pray like that, but many people act that way. Surely our Missionary Volunteers will not withhold God's saving truth for this time from the world which is soon to perish. Paul said: "Woe is me, I preach not the gospel." Our young people can do much in the great campaign with our periodicals. The great' Missionary Number of the Signs, just out, and the Bible Reading Series to follow, will do a mighty work if taken to the people. "Our Truth" number of the Instructor will soon fol- low filled with present truth, written especially for our young people. This furnishes an extraordinary opportunity for our young people to work. We are living in strenuous times, which demand strenuous work. If we appreciated the enxiety of Jesus to fin- ish the work, we would do more with these papers than most of us have had any idea of doing. Dear young people, if you do not carry the truth to the thousands of young people in your town, county, and state, who will? "Who of our youth will give themselves to God for the pur- pose of laboring for the salvation of other youth ?" These papers ought to be put into the hands of the leaders and members of other Young Peaple's Societies, in all libraries, Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C.

Owing to certain conditions, it is nec- essary to make some changes in regard to ordering the books for our Reading Course. Note carefully the following directions: The books will be studied in the or- der named; "Early Writings," 75 cents. "Into All the World." cloth, 5o cents; paper, 35 cents. "Outline of Mission Fields," free to all who order "Into All the World ;" will be sent at the same time such order is filled. World Map, showing prevailing re- ligions, 50 cents. "Pastor Hsi," cloth, $1; paper, 65 cents. It may be possible to secure this book bound with another, giving the story of Hsi's life to the time of his conversion. Watch the Review and In- structor for announcements. Remember, young people. that "wise men lay up knowledge." (Prov. 1o:14.) The greatest theme we can consider in the plan of salvation, and the greatest work in the world today, is the giving of the Gospel to a lost world. M. E. Kern. Notice to the- Churches. The Conference Committee asked me to visit the different churches in the interest of the book work. Now I in- vite all those interested in this branch of the Lord's work to write me at .1112 Kalamath street, Denver, Colo., and I will visit you early as possible, giving you all the instructions and encourage- ment ,,I can whereby every one who will, may help us finish the work of God in the earth. The Lord is abund- antly blessing this work, we want to tell you more about it, believing it will enlist your sympathy and help. We can assure you we have no other object in view than to tell you more of the good news of the Kingdom of God, and how you can help to hasten it. If the forty-nine churches in our confer- ence would furnish us two or three can- vassers each, we would have an army of workers and God could finish this work in a- short time. "Who, 'then, is willing to consecrate his. service- this day unto the Lord ?" .Please write to me. J. J. Jobe- Died, in Denver, October 28, 19o7, of cancer of the liver, Arthur Barnes. one of the early members of the Den- ver church. Brother Barnes was born in London. England. in t85o.
