ECHOES FROM THE FIELD,
* * When He giveth quietness, who
then can make trouble? and when He
hideth his face, who then can behold
Him,”
He “that walketh righteously and
speaketh uprightly” shall behold Him.
Isa. 33:13-24. "He shall dwell on high:
his place of defence shall be the muni-
tions of rocks; bread shall be given him;
his waters shall be sure. Thine eyes
shall see the King in His beauty: they
shall behold the land that is very far off.”
My brother, my sister, shall we behold
the King in His beauty and in His beau-
tious home? Some will; why not us?
“Evry one that shall be found written
in the book” “shall be delivered,” at that
solemn time. Shall you be delivered?
Shall I be delivered? Are our names
“in the book?” Will they be “in the
book’ when probation closes? If in the
book then, they will remain there for-
evermore. We need never worry over
the results to us in the time of trouble,
if our names are “in the book” when that
time commences, May we so daily trust
and serve the Master that we may, unto
the end, experience the meaning of His
words, “Rejoice, because your names-are
written in heaven.”

FIELD REPORTS.
Greeley.
A few weeks ago the Conference Com-
mittee asked me to visit Greeley and
hold Bible readings with those who be-
came interested in the trath, as the result
of the debate held there. ;
My work in Greeley was very pleasant,
and 1 trust will result in good to the
cause of truth. We are sure that several
will soon unite with this people. - Others
are interested and we believe these
~ should have the privilege of attending a
series of tent meetings this summer.
Sisters Dow and Barger have an inter-
ested class of readers, and they will
surely see good results from their work.
May the good work in Greeley continue.

The Temperance Work.
During the last month I have had the
opportunity to scatter over 300 copies
of our Temperance Number of the /zx-
strucfor. 1 had several left from last
year which I have given away with the
address of the meetings in our church on
11th and Kalamath street stamped on
the inside of cover page. I have visited
ministers of other denominations and
“time.
presented the papers,
bought a copy in English, also one in
Swedish; and he expressed himself sev-
eral times while looking through the
paper, as being pleased with its appear-
ance. At first he was a little surprised
that the Seventh-day Adventist people
took part in the temperance work, I
then had the privilege of telling him that
we as a denomination do all we can to
forward the blessed cause. Afterwards
we talked for two hours about the Sab-
bath, baptism and the state of the dead.
Several of the young people in that -
pastor's church are very interested in
the Truth, Last Sunday afternoon they
had for subject in the Young Peoples’
meeting, “The Third Commandment”—
in the Bible the fourth,
vited me to be present, so I did so. Talso
had the opportunity to give my testi-
mony that I was saved through Christ;
and that I kept the seventh day and not
the first,— the day that God rested upon
and blessed and sanctified,—and that we
should obey God rather than man, After
the meeting was over I had to go right
away as we had a meeting in the even-
ing, but there were six who came to our
meeting. Five of them we believe will
soon obey the Truth,
The enemy is working very hard to
hinder the Lord's work; but he can do
nothing if we use every opportunity to
stand up for the word of God, and work
with our good books, papers and tracts,
Now is the time to scatter the Temper-
ance Number of the Youth's Instructor.

With the Canvassers.
Brother Bailey sent in an order for
sixty-eight Bible Readings for his May
“delivery. We are glad to see these good
books being placed in the homes of the
people.
There are thousands of people who
~ reports, with the exception of one or two,
are ready to'buy our good books if they
only had a chance. Shall we who know
this truth be contented to stay at home
and not give them at least a chance?

During the month of March there was

that sold more books than East Colora-

people have in their homes, the easier it
is for the canvasser to sell them another

Missionary Volunteers,
We have received very encouraging
reports from those who have worked
with the special Temperance number of
the Youth's Instructor. So far there have
been ordered for this Conference 3,305
copies, and no doubt if all had done their
duty, a much higher number could have
been reached. However, any number
can be ordered yet from the office. Al-
though some have failed to avail them-
selves of this special opportunity, yet
encouraged over what has
been done and we know that the active
ones have experienced a great blessing.
We feel that when another opportunity
is given, even a ‘greater number will
respond.
Something should be said in regard to
both the society and individual reports.
Some of these have not been handed ‘in
as promptly as they should, and especial-
ly is this true of members belonging to
the state society. Nearly all the society
are in, while only three members belong-
ing to the state society have reported.
By considering the importance of this
reporting system, possibly you will be
