GENERAL ARTICLES. -Our Ceming -Camp —Meeting.-- I have read with much interest every word contained in the last ECHOES about our coming camp meeting. To my mind this meeting is of greater importance than any meeting ever held in this con- ference, and shall I not have a part in it? Shall the weakness of the flesh keep me from having at least a small part with the dear people who may come together at this time? The faith given to me of God says, no; so, dear people, I hope to be'there in comparative good health. I want to say to every minister, Bible worker, christian nurse, and canvasser, with as many of our doctors as possible, you should be at this meeting. Mighty things of God await us, let us get ready to receive them. •I will urge all our laborers who are paid by the conference, to be on the ground August 15, without fail, unless some unavoidable thing should hinder. Plan your work, dear fellow workers, so you will not fail in this or be behind one day. Some in the past have felt that they could do as they pleased about coming on time, but, dear brother, it is.wrong. The conference calls you to answer in person on the camp ground August 15. If you are not there then, nothing pre- venting, why should you come at all? It is for your good and the good of the conference' that you should be on the ground in time, and the time is August 15. I hope none of our workers will feel that this is too exacting, it is only just. Some of our workers who have never failed us in the past have said to Me, "I feel like staying away until the 'amp is pitched." To all such, let me kily, be on time in everything, and you will be ready when the dear S-aviour comes. � G. F. Watson. Permanent Workers for God. The outlook for the book work through- out the entire Central Union Conference is indeed encouraging. The sales for June were almost double those of May, and we feel sure that July will be even better. Victory is sounding all along the line. Letters are coming in from all parts of the field that are an inspiration. About 15o are now working in the Union, of which about one-half are stu- dents working.on scholarships. We are grateful, indeed, for this student work. Almost to a man, they are having ex- cellent success financially, some having earned their scholarships twice over in a very few weeks. Thus they constitute a valuable factor indeed, in the promulga- tion of the third angel's message, as well as securing good practical education along missionary lines, and getting an inspiration that will carry them with rapid pace through the coming school year. Now these students will :soon be in school again, and in order to keep the ranks from being depleted, we earnestly appeal to you, one and all, to respond to the earnest calls from heaven to enter the harvest field. It is a much more easy matter to keep an engine going when it: is already at full speed, than it is to get it started out of the yards on to the main line. Hence, we appeal to you, fathers and mothers in Israel, and all whom God is calling, to enlist with us as permanent workers upon whom we can depend the year round. We need men and women to dedicate their lives to the book work. Men and women who are not afraid to cut loose from all earthly ties, and plan to remain in this work until Jesus comes. In Vol. 6, page 478, we find, "As long as probation continues, there will be oppor- tunity for the canvasser to work until in Heaven is spoken the word, 'It is finished,' there will always be places for labor, and hearts to receive the message, 'Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest that he would send forth laboreres into the harvest.' Pray earnestly that God will lay the burden of service upon you and your children. Then we shall hear the response ascend in clear notes to heaven, `Here am I; send me.' The work is fast closing up. Unless we respond quickly our services vvill not be needed. 0, step in as permanent workers while the waters are troubled." Write your state agent for any infor- mation in regard to books or territory. Chas. G. Bellah, Union Agent. Some Things to Remember. Camp meeting will be held August 22 to September 2, preceeded by a worker's meeting beginning August 15.

Arrangements have been made for a store and for a dining hall, but it is desired that all who possibly can shall come prepared to board themselves. Meade MacGuire. FIELD REPORTS. Grand Junction. We began a series of meetings: in this place June 4, and continued for six weeks. The attendance was not as large as we had hoped to see it, but there were a faith- ful few who were in regular attendance. On July the 13th, we buried eight dear souls with their Lord in baptism.. For many reasons I do not think I ever en- joyed a baptismal service more than this one. The church people are highly pleased over the recent meetings held there and are hoping and praying that another effort may be made in the west side of town next tent season. This cer- tainly is a needy place. Sister Jessie Glasgow has been very busy doing Bible work this summer in the absence of Sister Moore. We will do district work until camp meeting, visiting the Hotch- kiss, Delta, Telluride, Glenwood Springs, and Aspen churches. Pray for the work on the 'western slope. W. F. Kennedy. E. H. Curtis. Palisades. Dear brethren and sisters of the Colo- rado Conference: — I take thi,p way to answer the many inquiries made in re- gard to my condition of health. I am pleased to say that I am climbing the hill where health is found, and in a few months I hope to be a strong man again. I have much to be thankful for, and to the dear Lord. and his servants in the Colorado sanitarium be all the praise. I hope to meet many of you at the soon com- ing conference meeting. G. F. Watson. Alamogordo, New Mexico. Our quarterly meeting was held July 13th with the largest attendance we have had yet. Some fifteen participated in the celebration of the ordinances ob- served on such occasions. Through Elder J. A. Leland's efforts, a considerable interest has been awak- ened among our Spanish speaking neighbors. Three joined the church while he -was with. us. Two Americans joined at the same time. The 13th, three more Mexican people signified their de- termination to convenant with us as a church as also did another American. The candidates are awaiting an ex- pected early return to us of Elder Leland, he having been instrumental in bringing them into the truth. Much yet remains to be done in this place, and we would that we could have some regular Confernce worker stationed here for some time. Brother C. W. Scott came here with a view to canvassing, but just at that time there were a few cases of scarlet fever in town and it was thought advisable for him not to canvass. We read the good reports from differ- ent points in the conference and would that we here could have as good. We were rejoiced for the action of our conference in sending Elder Richards to this section to spy out the land and send in a report of the same. We are rather inclined to believe that more at- tention will be given this section. The Lord bless the work in all places. Herbert Crippen.

There seems to be very little prejudice to break down, but a great deal of indifference to overcome. Our usual audience at the tent varies from 150 to 25o and as far as we can see they are coming to learn. We are sowing the precious seed at every opportunity and trusting the Lord that we shall "doubtless rejoice when the sheaves are gathered." We are holding Sabbath school in the tent every Sabbath and are having some outside attendance, principally interested ones. B. H.

Now, we see that $1,202.00 worth of orders were taken in 1,176 hours, or an average of over one dollar per hour. Possibly a part of this time was spent in de- livering books. For 3o canvassers, 1,176 hours in two weeks is an average of less than twenty-hours per week for- � each agent. N-ow-,---i-f-we -can take $1,202 worth of orders, and deliver over $260 worth of books by putting in less than twenty hours per week, we can, by putting in only eight hours per day, or forty hours each week, take twenty-five hundred dollars worth of orders in two weeks. That is about the amount of work we did for the whole month of June; but according to the above fig- ures it can be done in two weeks. In 2,053 exhibitions we took 516 orders, or an average of one order to every four exhibitions. Still further, in eleven hundred and seventy-six hours, we took twelve hundred dollars worth of orders, or over one dollar per hour, thus making fifty cents per hour per agent. Can you make that much at any other work? The Lord is a good pay-master, is he not? Thank you all for such good work. You see we are watching these figures with great interest. Who will join us in the work of the Lord? � J. J. Jobe. The Boulder-Colorado Sanitarium is a well-equipped and well-regulatea institution for the treatment of all chronic disorders.

Two more have just been added to the Alamogordo church, making seven mem- bers received since the recent effort there. We will have a good supply of "How Esther Read Her Bible" at camp meet- ing and hope to sell at least 66,000 at that time. Be sure and order a copy of the report of the General Conference Sabbath school and Young People's Convention, held in Mount Vernon, Ohio. Price Inc. Elder Leland is holding meetings in Raton, New Mexico. He writes, 'About fifty are attending the meetings regular- ly, and we hope for a harvest of souls." Sister Alway met with a serious acci- dent while in Rocky Ford attending the funeral, of Sister France. A team was frightened, and ran into the carriage where Sister Alway was sitting, breaking her hip. Elder Alway and his wife have our sincere sympathy in this time of affliction. The Importance of Advertising Our Camp Meeting. The Conference Committee have de- cided to put forth special efforts to thorouhgly advertise our coming camp meeting which will be held in Denver, August 22 to Septemder 2. We wish to prepare a good supply of appropriate advertising matter, not only to circulate in Denver, but we want to send to our churches and scattered members through- out the conference a sufficient amount of this matter that you may post these bills in proper places and put some in depots, etc. We have secured rates for all who will come to this meeting over all the railroads in Colorado and New Mexi- co. We hope to make this the best camp meeting in every way of any ever yet held in this conference. We believe that all of our good people in the Col- orado Conference desire the same thing. Now we have thought every Seventh-day Adventist who is interested in the suc- cess of this annual gathering of God's people and the salvation of souls will feel it a privilege to contribute of your means to assist in properly advertising this meeting. Send your offerings for this purpose to Sister M. MacGuire, 1112 Kalamath St., Denver, Colo. Let all of our churches take a collection for this good object Sabbath, August 3. G. W. Anglebarger. From The General Conference Young People's Convention. As I have attended the intensely teresting meetings of this convention from day to day, I have wished many times that all the young people of our conference might he here, to hear and discuss the important plans that are be- ing developed, and to catch the spirit and inspiration that characterizes this great movement. This is undoubtedly the beginning of a mighty onward march of a well trained and victorious army of youth, such as the Lord has called for. In order that all the people, both old and young, may become acquainted with all that is being done in thiS convention, the General Conference will publish, as soon as possible, a report of the meet-, ing. Every Seventh-day Adventist should secure a copy and become intelli- gent in regard to the new organization and plans for the young people of this denomination. Send orders to the office at once. The price is ten cents per copy. Meade MacGuire. West Loveland. We pitched our tent in West Loveland. We should have started at least one week earlier, but the tent maker made a mis- take in manufacturing the ends of our tent top, so it had to be sent back to the factory to be refitted. This caused one week's delay. We had already waited about two weeks for the tent to be made, so in all we were about three weeks late in commencing. Since beginning the meetings we have had an attendance of from 35 to 75 each night. There are several interested people and while it is too soon this week to report results, we feel sure of some additions to the true faith. One is al- ready keeping the Sabbath and others are seriously considering a like step of obedience. Miss C. B. Watts is rendering valuable assistance in the Bible work and the members of the little church here are doing what they can to bring their neigh- bors to hear the truth. We give a temperance lecture each Monday night. This feature appears to do good and draw many to hear. Mon- day night, July 22nd, Dr. C. A. Hansen, of Denver, came by invitation and gave a most excellent temperance talk. Remember us in your prayers. H. M. J. Richards, E. E. Farnsworth. Obituaries. Died, at Rocky Ford, Colo., July 14th, in the 29th year of her age, of tuberculosis, Sister Lois Chloe France. Sister France accepted present truth under the teach- ings of the writer and was baptized at the dedication of the church here Apri i6th, 1905, and died in the full assurance of being called forth from her dusty bed at the coming of the Lord. A few hours previous to her death she called all her relatives to the bedside and bade them an affectionate farewell, desiring them to so live that site could meet them in the earth made new. _ Her funeral took place the following day, Rev. 14:13 being used as the basis of the remarks made. Geo. M. Alway. Warner—Sister Regena Warner fell asleep in Jesus on July 22, 1907, at the age of 70 years. She died of cancer and dropsy. Since 1889 she cast her lot with God's commandment keeping people and remained until her death a firm believer in the third angel's message. Site leaves four children to mourn, yet not as those which have no hope. Funeral services conducted by the writer in the Loveland church. � H. A. Aufderhar.
