Colorado Conference and Camp-Meeting 
Rocky Mountain Lake Park, Denver, August 15 to 25, 1912 
ECHOES FROM THE FIELD. 
The Last Call 
What I mean is this: That this is the 
last time you will hear the call through 
the columns of the ECHOES inviting you 
to our Annual Conference and camp-
meeting for the year 1912. It hardly 
seems possible that we are so near the 
time for another camp-meeting and Con-
ference. How swiftly the days and 
weeks pass by! But here we are just a 
few days before we shall be coming up 
from all over our Conference to meet 
each other in this annual gathering, and 
the best part of it all is, to meet the dear 
Lord and the good angels. 
WHERE WE ARE STANDING. 
"The great day of the Lord is near. It 
is near and hasteth greatly, even the 
voice of the day of the Lord." "We are 
near the close of time. I have been 
shown that the judgments of God are 
already in the land. The Lord has 
given us warning of the events to take 
place." 
"Many are in great peril. Unless they 
change their course they will be severed 
from the true vine as useless branches. 
I have been shown that we are standing 
on the threshold of the eternal world." 
Surely these are solemn words, and we 
cannot but see that we stand face to face 
with the realities of eternity. 
WHO SHOULD COME. 
We answer, the fathers and mothers, 
the sons and daughters, the young and 
old. Those who are acquainted with 
Jesus, and know Him as a precious 
Saviour, and those who do not yet know 
Him. Those who are reaching up daily 
step by step nearer the ideal of the 
beautiful Christ life. Those whose feet 
may be slipping. Those whose Chris-
tian experience may be clouded and 
they find they are resting under the 
shadows of doubt and uncertainty. We 
all need to be there for the mighty God 
will be present to give us all just what 
we most need. Now it is not too late to 
pray. We may yet confess our sins and 
put them away. Some day it will he too 
late. 
PREPARATION. 
"I have been shown that some' of our 
camp-meetings are far from being what 
the Lord designed they should he. The 
people come unprepared for the visita-
tion of God's Holy Spirit." 
I have been thinking very seriously 
the past few days of the importance of 
our camp meeting and Conference this 
year. I am sure that as ministers and 
people we all feel greatly our need of a 
new hold upon God, and of a greater 
fullness of the Holy Spirit, and of a new 
power in our lives. Shall we not, as in-
dividuals and families, yes, and churches, 
seek God especially for the outpouring 
of His Holy Spirit upon this occasion? 
Then as we come up to this gathering 
we will be prepared for the King to 
have His way in our lives. • 
CAMP-MEETING HELP. 
I am sure all will he glad to know that 
we are promised good General and 
Union Conference help. From the 
General Conference we expect Elder G. 
B. Thompson, and an effort is being 
made to secure Elder W. A. Spicer. 
For the German work we expect Elders 
J. H. Schilling, and G. F. Haffner. From 
the Union Conference we expect our 
president, Elder E. T. Russell, Professor 
F. Griggs, Professor M. B. Van Kirk, 
and Brother C. G. Bellah. We feel that 
we will be especially favored in having 
this good help with us on this occasion. 
But, dear brethren and sisters, we are 
not to forget that we need the good 
angels and the dear Lord. 
There will be special meetings held 
each day in the interest of the mothers' 
work, the young people, and the chil-
dren. In addition to the English meet-
ings there will he German and Scandina-
vian services. 
We are especially favored with a 
beautiful place for the camp-meeting. 
The Conference workers will be on the 
grounds now in a few days preparing 
the camp so that everything will be in 
readiness when our brethren arrive on 
the grounds. Shall we not all unite in 
seeking God for the preparation of 
heart and outpouring of His Holy Spirit 
that the gathering this year will mark a 
new era not only in the work of ourton-
ference here, but also in each individual 
life, that at last when the work is finished 
we shall have a place around the great 
white throne of God. 
C. R. KITE. 
Why Come to Camp-meeting? 
There is but one answer to he given to 
the question, "Who should come to 
camp meeting." Everyone needs the 
help. We will give a few reasons why. 
First. The camp meetings are a help 
to the converted one. He who hungers 
and thirsts after righteousness obtains 
spiritual food for his soul. His faith 
grows stronger. He says, "It is good to 
be here." And ton, he is needed on the 
grounds to assist in the work of the 
meeting. "Each one should feel that in 
a measure the success of the meeting 
depends upon him."—Yol. VI, fi. 
Second. The unconverted should 
come because he cannot afford to lose 
the opportunities which the camp-meet-
ing affords. Spiritual help will be given 
there for all,—the old, middle aged, the 
youth, and the children. So let all come. 
But I hear you say, "We cannot all 
go." True. But do you want to go? Do 
you want to go bad enough to make an 
effort to get there? Have you ever gone 
any place without an effort on your part, 
or on the part of some one else in your 
behalf? 
To illustrate He who places great 
esteem and honor on our national birth-
day, Fourth of July, makes preparation 
for the celebration. He spends time 
and money getting ready. His enthu-
siasm is revealed by the interest he 
takes. So it is with our annual spiritual 
meetings. He who feels that a great 
blessing may be obtained at these meet-
ings will he prepared for them. He will 
spend time and money in this prepara-
tion. He will show his interest and en-
thusiasm in the work. He will do all he 
can to help make the Conference, the 
local church, the family, and the indivi-
dual all that God desires them to be. 
Only a few days are left for us to get 
ready for camp-meeting. In a little 
while we will meet on the same grounds,* 
—Rocky Mountain Lake Park,—where 
we met last year and had a feast of good 
things. We met some there last year 
who cannot be there this year because of 
death, sickness, and poverty, or other 
good reasons. We hope, however, no 
one will stay away because of the feel-
ing, "They don't want to attend." "The 
Spirit and the Bride say come; and 
whosoever will may come." 
H. A. AUFDERHAR. 
To the Young People 
How swiftly the months come and go! 
It seems but a very short time since we 
last assembled on the camp ground at 
Rocky Mountain Lake Park, and yet 
twelve months have gone by and we 
have reached the time for another 
annual gathering. 
How glad we are that we can meet to-
gether and receive the strength and en-
couragement which comes as the result 
of our associating with our dear brethren 
and sisters. 
We feel especially anxious that at our 
camp-meeting this year we will have the 
privilege of seeing all of our young peo-
ple presenf. Young people, come to the 
ECHOES FROM THE FIELD. 
camp-meeting, and come determined to 
receive the special blessing that is in 
store for you. The meetings which will 
be held for the youth will be instructive 
and will be designed to show you the 
part you may act in this great closing 
message. 
Again I want to earnestly invite each 
young person in this Conference to come 
to the camp-meeting this year. We 
need your presence and the help you 
may be able to give. Personally, I feel 
anxious to meet all of the young people 
who are on the grounds so I wish to in-
vite you to visit frequently the Young 
People's Reception tent. Come and let 
us get acquainted that we may do better 
work the coming year than we have be- 
fore. �
MRS. MAE WARFLE. 
Selections from the Testimonies 
"Our camp-meetings should be so con-
ducted as to accomplish the greatest 
possible amount of good. Let the truth 
he properly presented and represented 
by those who believe it. It is light, the 
light of heaven, that the world needs, 
and whatever manifests the Lord Jesus 
Christ is light." 
"Every camp-meeting should be an 
object-lesson of neatness, order, And 
good taste. We must give careful re-
gard to economy, and must avoid dis-
play; but everything connected with the 
grounds should he neat and tidy. Taste 
and tact do much to attract. And in all 
our work we should present the disci-
pline of organization and order." 
"We should feel that we are represen-
tatives of truth of heavenly origin. We 
are to show forth the praises of Him who 
has called us out of darkness into His 
marvelous light. We should ever bear 
in mind that angels of God are walking 
through the encampment, beholding the 
order and arrangement in every tent. 
To the large numbers of people who 
come to the ground, all the arrange-
ments are an illustration of the belief 
and principles of the people conducting 
the meeting. It should be the very best 
illustration possible. All the surround-
ings should be a lesson. Especially 
should the family tents, in their neatness 
• and order, giving a glimpse of home life, 
be a constant sermon as to the habits, 
customs, and practices of Seventh-day 
Adventists." 
"It is important that the members of 
our churches should attend our camp-
meetings. The enemies of truth are 
many; and because our numbers are 
few, we should present as strong a front

"Some will say, 'It is expensive to 
travel, and it would be better for us to 
save the money, and give it for the ad-
vancement of the work where it is so 
much needed.' Do not reason in this 
way; God calls upon you to take your

people. Strengthen the meeting all you

"Brethren and sisters, it would be far 
better for you to let your business suffer 
than to neglect the opportunity of hear-
ing the message God has for you. Make 
no excuse that will keep you from gain-
ing every spiritual advantage possible. 
You need every ray of light. You need 
to become qualified to give a reason of 
the hope that is in you with meekness 
and fear You cannot afford to lose one 
such privily ge."

Brother French has secured a good 
pasture for horses during the camp-
meeting. It is located about two miles 
north of the grounds, is well fenced, and 
contains good grass and water. The 
rate is 7 cents per day for each animal. 
As stated last week, reduced rates on 
the certificate plan have been secured 
on the railroads for those who attend 
camp-meeting. Certificates procured 
with tickets purchased to Denver on 
August 14,15,16, to, and 21 will secure 
to the purchaser the privilege of buying 
a ticket home from Denver for one-third 
the regular fare, after the certificate is 
properly endorsed. 
Miss Darling Nesty of Union College 
recently made a trip from College View 
to Loma Linda. Miss Nesty is a colored 
girl from the West Indies, who has spent 
several years in the college, and is now 
going to Loma Linda to take the medical 
course. She arranged to sell magazines 
along the way. Her record through 
Colorado was so good that we are giving 
it here for the encouragement of those 
who may he interested in this line of 
work. She sold at Colorado Springs 175, 
Pueblo 20o, Florence too, Canon City 
125, Salida too, and Leadville too. She 
also sold a few at Wray and Fort Mor-
gan. She sold go in one day at Salida, 
and too at Leadville in six hours. We 
are glad to publish this good report and 
hope for more like it. 
splendid interest from the first and a 
fine class of people deeply interested in 
the truth of the Third Angel's Message. 
Already ten have promised to keep the 
commandments of God. Many others 
are considering seriously the question of 
obeying God. We want your prayers 
for our work to the end that these who 
have started may become strong in the 
Lord, and that those who are yet undecid-
ed may decide while God is calling them. 
There were two families of Sabbath-
keepers there before we pitched the 
tent, Brother and Sister Nesmith, and 
Brother and Sister Buck, also two or 
three other individuals. So with the 
new ones a church can be organized. 
But we do not feel that we should organ-
ize before camp-meeting, for it has al-
ways been our policy to get new Sab-
bath-keepers fully established on all 
points of the the truth before baptizing 
them. We are sore the brethren and 
sisters throughout the conference will 
approve of our course in this matter. 
We could organize now but we prefer to 
do a work that will stand. 
We are glad to say also that the breth-
ren have bought the lots on which the 
tent stands, and made a good payment 
down on them, for the purpose of build-
ing a church. This is without exception, 
we believe, the best and most central lo-
cation in the city. There is no other 
church there that has so central a loca-
tion and so beautiful. 
We cannot take the tent down for 
camp-meeting, our interest is so great. 
But we will take turns in attending the 
camp-meeting. Pray for us. 
Your brother in the work, 
H. M. J. RICHARDS. 
To the Chorus 
All those who have written, and others 
who may desire to take part in our 
camp-meeting chorus, will please meet 
at the youths' tent, Friday evening, Aug. 
16, at 6:3o, for organization. Also those 
who will bring various instruments will 
meet at the same time and place. As in 
the last two years, the chorus will be on 
duty only in the evening, except Sab-
baths and Sundays; this, in order that 
all will remain bright and fresh to the 
end. 
Be sure to get your own hymn book 
and "Christ in Song." 
Come with a spirit of prayer and 
praise, that God's blessing may rest up-
on the music of the camp-meeting.

Colorado Canvassing Report for two weeks ending August 2, 1912. 
With the assistance of Brethren W. 
H. Cox, E. E. Dunham, and my son 
Harold we have been holding a tent 
meeting at Fort Lupton since the latter 
part of June, besides looking after our 
work on Capitol Hill, Denver, nearly 
every Friday and Sabbath. Brother 
Dunham was compelled to leave us in 
July, going to his family in College View,
