ECHOES FROM THE FIELD
FIELD REPORTS.
Farmington, N. M.
Our church has been strengthened by
the addition of four to its membership— -
one by letter and three by profession of
faith. Remember us in your prayers.

Idaho Springs.
There were twenty-five who took part
in the ordinance at our last quarteriy
meeting. We had a good spiritual meet-
ing. The Lord is blessing us. Seven
dear souls united with us last quarter,
for which we feel very thankful.

Capitol Hill.
The little company on Capitol Hill are
of good courage, and without one dis-
senting voice, can say that we earnestly
desire a deeper work of grace in our
hearts, not only to prepare us for the
things which we know are coming on us
in the near future, but that we may do
more efficient service now. We are glad
to report that there are four earnest
souls whom we expect soon to follow
their Lord in baptism. There are about
eight others who are deeply interested
in the message for this time. We desire
an interest in your prayers for the work
and the workers in Denver, in accord-
ance with Luke 10:2.

When Brother Trueman and-I begun
work in this county it was the day of the
big circus at Ft. Collins, so we went
north to Wellington, thinking, perhaps,
some would be away to the circus so
that we would be unable to see them.
Brother Trueman worked north, and
although he was among the Germans,
(and his book, Ladies’ Guide, is not pub-
lished in German,) yet he took nine
orders. I was working south of him and
took eleven orders for Controversy. I
have been thinking since of how tmuch
better that was than to have gone to the
show or even quit work. The next week
I had great success, although I was un-
able to work more than four days, yet 1
took thirty-one orders, the value of
which was 8102.50. These orders were
"all straight cash orders except two or
three, and they are to be paid at least
one-half in cash the rest in laundry or
board. \
I also canvassed the Germans where
Brother Trueman had been and took. #10
worth of orders one day.
I wish those at home would remem--
ber the workers and the ones being
worked for in their prayers. ‘We need
them, and God wants all to be saved.
The fields are white, already to harvest,
and unless the work is done now there
will be many lost who might have been
saved. . I ask God to pardon me for
having not used the time he has given
me to a better advantage, Pray for me.
The earth is full of sin and crime, and
many times while at work, although I
have had many good experiences, vet.
I so wish and long for the Lord to come,
and sin and sorrow be at an end.
When I read the last chapter in Great
Controversy, it puts new courage and
energy into my life.

Our Sanitarium Work. .
The work of the Sanitarium during the
last two weeks has been moving forward
very encouragingly. A number of our
old patients are returning for the sum-
mer, Others who have never been with
us are also coming in from day to day.
Several very critical operations have
been performed during the last two
weeks, and the patients are getting along
most encouragingly. Mrs. J. L. Shaw
is representing the Sanitarium at the
Chautauqua during the present season.
At the recent Educational Cenvention
held at College View, it was voted to
send Brother and ‘Sister R. R. Cook, two
of our old workers, to India with Brother
and Sister Shaw this coming autumn.
It is an encouragement to know that as
a result of our Sanitarivm work young
men and women can be trained to go out
and carry the last message to heathen
lands.
Brother and Sister Herboltzheimer,
who recently went to Japan, have arrived
safely at their destination, and are of
good courage in the work. Co
A new nurses’ class will startin the
Sanitarium January 1. A new nurses’
catalogue is now being printed and will
be sent out to any who. are thinking of
taking up this work. Applications for
catalogue, or any inquiries regarding
the nurses’ training course should he ad-
dressed to the Secretary of the Training
School, Miss Helen N. Rice, Boulder,

School Rooms Needed.
“The establishing of churches and the
erection of meeting houses and school
buildings was extended from city to
city.” This is the work to be done in
America, in Australia, ‘in Europe, and
wherever companies are brought into
the truth. The companies that are raised
up need a place of worship. Schools
are needed where Bible instruction may
be given to the children. The school
room is needed just as much as is the
church building.” Vol. VI. p. 100.

The Canvassing Work.
I am glad to report that the canvass-
ing work is still onward. “While it is
true that our force of convassers is
small, stlil the Lord is blessing those
who are in the work. Sickness has
caused some of our faithful workers - to
stop for a- short time, but we hope to
see them at their post of duty before
long. Two new canvassers have just
started, but we have not their reports
for this issue. I have letters from
several that are desirous of entering the
work, and some have promised to take
it up alter camp meeting. = Now are
there not others upon whom the Spirit
of the Lord is moving? If so 1 will be
glad to hear from you at any time, and
will do all that -I can to help you get
started i in the work.
