The. Week of Prayer 
Once again through the kindness of 
our Heavenly Father we are brought to 
the Week of Prayer season, fain stire 
that aS we look back over the months 
that are passed we can but see tokens of 
God's loving care all along the way. In 
the world on every hand there is strife 
and trouble, men's hearts failing them 
for feat of those things that are coming 
on the earth. But to us God has spoken 
a message of comfort. He calls us :His 
childri-n. He loves us. And how ap-
propriate it is that a week should be set 
apart at the close of the year to think of 
God; to pray and to study the needs of 
the great fields. 
It seems to, me that the. Readings this 
year are filled with meSsages that will 
stir all otir hearts and lead us to recon-
aecrate our services to God. L 
dear brethren and sisters, that we shall 
plan tolal aside-our daily work so far 
as possible and make it our business 
during the Week of Prayer to attend 
the meetings and that may plan for a 
daily seeking of God at home with our 
families. 
The Conference Committee have tried 
to arrange for the Conference workers to' 
visit as many churches as possible dur-
ing the Week of PraYer. And as the 
meetings are held from day to day and 
the *idles ta ken. up, - artd we see how 
God is leading his people, and hear the 
cries of the multitudes. in the dark re-
gions of the earth, I pray that'otirbearts 
secrate ourselves anew to the service- of 
God, and give liberally of-our means to 
advance the cause that is so dear to us 
all. �
• 
it is planned that the offering shall he 
taken-up Sabbath, December i6. We 
are hoping •that this year the offering 
will come up to $1,500. When we look 
upon the wide harvest fields, surely we 
can say that this help is greatly'needed. 
So may the LOrd help us, dear brethren 
and sisters, to do all we can at this time,. 
"Give of your best to the Master." 
C. R. KITE. 
"0 Lord, the great and dreadful God; 
keeping, the • covenant and mercy to 
them that loYe him, and to them that. 
keep his commandments: We have 
sinned and have committed iniquity, 
and have done wickedly, and have re-
belled even by departing from thy pre-
cepts and from thy judgments: Neither 
have we hearkened unto thy servants 
the prophets, which spake in thy name." 
—Dan. 9:4-6. 
This was Daniel's prayer in part just 
Wore the issuing of the decree granting 
Israel libei-ty -to return, back to Jeru-
salem, Weir home City. For seventy 
years the people of the Lord 'had. been 
Idoking forward to their deliverance. 
Should not we beengaged, in just _such 
earnest prayer confessing:our sins,. and 
asking for strength to carry 'forward the 
gt;eat work the Lord has entrustedtp us?

is great and millions await the last'great 
call. Never has•there been 'such-Open-
ings as • at the present time, and yet 
many opportunities have been passed 
by and calls unanswered that have 
meant lost opportunities. We saw this 
demonstrated many times during our 
work in Africa.. Calls were made for 
mission stations .by native chiefs which 
We were unable to answer. 
Our work calls not only for laborers, 
but for means to carry them to their 
fields of labor and for their support after 
their arrival, unless we require them to 
spend their•time in self-support, where 
often it would require all their time, and 
this in countries where their lives would 
be sacrificed in a short time from the 
exposure and ravages of tropical- di-
seases. 
Let us hear one another's burdtns and 
ECHOES FROM THE FIELD. 
consecrate our lives anew to the service 
of the Master and pray for reapers to 
enter the-great harv-est field that is ripe 
for the harvest. Today we need men 
and women who will stand firm under 
adverse cireumstances, who will. not 
waver or be blown about with every 
wind of doctrine, but who will put their 
dependence upon the sure Word of God 
and take Him for their guide, knowing-
that His promises are sure and that the 
things of this world will soon fade away, 
giving place to the eternal which the 
Lord has prepared for His people.—Dr. 
H. A. Green. 
How to Expect Great Things 
Another Week of Prayer has almost 
arrived. As we look back over the past 
year how much we have to be thankful 
for. The Lord has been so good to us, 
He has supplied all our wants. Al-
though some of us have had seasons of 
sorrow and grief during the past year, 
we have the assurance that our great 
High Priest is touched with our infirmi-
ties and sorrows, for He was "a man of 
sorrow and acquainted with grief" and 
has endured all these things in order 
that we -may have eternal life. And we 
Can console ourselves with the blessed 
thought that' the warfare Will scion be 
over, and if faithful we will soon have 
the inheritance which our dear Saviour 
has prorhised. 
"If faithful," I wonder ifi we under-
stand what this means. It does not 
mean doing our duty on, one or two lines, 
hut it means our whole duty. We are 
praying.that the Lord will quickly send 
the Gospel to all nations so that He will 
soon come. But sometimes we forget 
that the Lord wants us to answer our 
own, prayers by contributing liberally of 
our means to that end. The Lord has 
given us the privilege of hastening His 
coming. Shall we do it? 
Not only in matters pertaining to our 
foreign fields does the Lord expect us 
to be•faithfut,but also in matters perq-in-, 
ing to home work. "The field -is the 
world" and no matter what part of the 
"world" we may he in, that is our "field." 
So the home missionary's work is just as 
irnportant to the spread of the gospel as 
the missionary in the "fields beyond." 
We can receive a double blessing by 
doing home missionary work and giving 
of our means for the cause in foreign 
fields. 
Then there is the local church,—the 
base, we might call it,—from which- all 
missionary work has its origin. Do you 
think it would be pleasing in the sight 
of God to let it suffer for want of means 
to conduct it in a manner that would at-
tract people to it to receive the Truth? 
The Lord told the ancient Israelites 
that He wanted them to be the "head 
and not the tail." The Lord desires the 
same for His people today and it is not 
to the glory of God that His church 
which He says He purchased with His 
own blood be left to struggle with debt 
when a little effort on our.part can clear 
it up. The Lord has given us the privi-
lege of being "workers together with 
Him" and this is part of our work. 
And now, brethren, at this season of 
devotion, this week that has been set 
apart for seeking God more earnestly 
than we have in. the past, shall we not 
vow, that if we have been remiss in our 
duty on these lines in the past, we will 
not continue in this way any longer but 
that we will he faithful in all things, and 
then we can expect God to bless us 
more "abundantly above all that we ask 
or think according to the power that 
worketh in us." And to Him be all the 
glory both now and forever. Amen. 
G. M. ALWAY. 
A Request 
I would like to write a letter to each 
one who has made a pledge for the 
Foreign Missions Investment Fund, 
especially the dear youth and children, 
thanking them for the interest they have 
taken in this branch of missionary work. 
But at the present I will kindly ask each 
one to accept this as a letter from me. _- 
Some have already sent in. the pro-
ceeds of their investments and others 
are planning to- do so soon. Please 
don't forget the date- these were to be 
paid,—December 3t, 1911. Remember 
all the proceeds of these pledges and 
investments go to help raise our, share 
of that: much needed $300,000 Fund. 
We like to hear.. from those who have 
made investments this summer, giving 
your experience and the results. Don't 
hesitateto send inthe proceeds of your 
investment on -account of smallness of 
the amount,—the great ocean is made 
up of small drops. So send in your of-
fering, and with it a . prayer that God 
will bless it to the salvation or, the lost 
and perishing. �W. H. Cox. 
Hygiene 
On -Nov. 25 it was the writer's privilege 
to baptize two young. men, Mexicans, 
who through the efforts of the twd 
young men, also -Mexicans, baptized-one 
year -ago at Hygiene by Elder Robin-
son, and the efforts of Brother Whaley, 
for whom they worked in the beetti be-
came acquainted with present truth, art 
now keeping the Stshbatit, desired hi p-
tistn, and promise tsi support the cause 
with' tithe and offarings. Before hap-
tism we gave them a Bible study 
through an interpreier, and felt satisfied 
that these dear souls have a desire to be 
saved. They have secured -a. Bible in 
their mother tongue, (Spanish) and study 
and read it daily. They are filled with 
the missionary spiiit, desiring to give 
this truth to their fellow Mexican breth-
ren. We trust and believe that through 
their efforts the truth may he carried to 
others who speak the Spanish language, 
and that these will be overcomers and 
we meet them in God's everlasting king-
dom. 
The Lord is good and we thank Him 
for the many and varied experiences in 
the Proclaiming of the last message of 
mercy to a wicked and dying world. �
• 
We look forward with courage and 
faith to the soon' coming Week of ' 
Prayer,ancl- the 'ClOsing weeks of .this 
year.' May the good Lord abundantly 
bless his chosen people with a reconse-
cration and, fill all 'our hearts with the 
first love in the message and revive the 
missionary spirit, and the spirit of sacri-
fice for'the Masters cause. The home 
and foreign fields are greatly in need -of 
means to carry the- message to all the 
world for a witness, and then the end 
shall come. 
H. A. AUFDERHAR. 
Working With Canvassers 
I had the privilege of helping Brother 
Anderson make his .November delivery. 
We found the people of good courage 
and most all were ready to take their 
books. Brother Anderson took three 
orders in a little old stone house, and 
when we came to the ,place„ 1 thought 
thati we would do well if we left one out 
of the three; but the lady had a ten dol-
lar bill and paid for the three books. 
One lady failed to have the money, but 
she said she could give us a turkey. 
Canvassers are supposed to like turkey 
on delivering day when there is no 
money about the place, so we gladly 
took it...We had a number of pleasant 
experiences, but, these two show how 
the Lord goes ahead and prepares the 
way for the canvasser. 
After spending , a, few days with 
Brother Anderson, I went to. Walsen-
burg, where Brother and Sister Gann are 
ECHOES FROM •I'HF. FIELD. 
working. Brother. Gann had a small de-
livery, but left hooks in sotne nice 
homes. One minister bought a four 
dollar Bible Readings. He ,had lived 
near one of our brethren, and knew 
something about the truth, He was' not 
prejudiced and seemed to want to know 
the truth. One will never know the 
good the book may do in this home. 
We had, prayer with him before leaving, 
and believe the Lord will lead him on to 
know the truth. 
1 stopped, at Pueblo on my way back, 
and found Brother North of good cour-
age. He had just finished a delivery in 
the country near Pueblo, and delivered 
all but two books. These parties he 
failed to find at home. 
May the Lord continue to bless these 
self-supporting workers, and send more 
into the field, is my prayer.

The following named persons were

In harmony with the action of the 
Central Union Conference it was recom-
mended that all our Conference workers 
attend the Central Union Conference 
and Ministerial Institute; 
Careful consideration of the mission-
ary financial problem resulted in the 
following recommendation: 
"That as the churches in this confer-
ence are far behind on the ten-cent-a-
week plan, we devote the month of 
December to an effort to bring this fund 
up, and that all the churches he asked 
to devote the offerings taken Sabbath, 
the 16th, which is the day for our annual 
offering, Sabbath, the 23rd, and Sabbath, 
the 30th to this fund, and that our 
workers everywhere encourage our peo-
ple to make a liberal offering.'.' 
C. R. KtTE, President. 
G. M. ALWAY, Secretary. 
Notes from the Ingathering Campaign 
Professor Salisbury writes as follows 
regarding the Harvest Ingathering Cam-
paign at the Academy: 
"When the subject of ordering was 
taken up at the church the students 
were advised not to order more than 
they would really distribute. Four hun-
'ffrecl-were-6r-derea:'171Filde-s-,-thei-e were 
about three hundred old Reviews left 
over from last year. 
We took up the study of the paper as 
a regular class, so that those who plan-
ned to go out with them might be ac-
quainted with the contents. Professor 
Wirth, Miss Miles and myself conducted 
the classes. Thursday, November 9, 
was the day we se.ected for the work. 
The team and automobile took the stu-
dents to Loveland and Berthoud. We 
confined our efforts only to these towns 
and worked from 8:oo to 12:00 o'clock. 
We took in a little more than $48.00. 
No papers were, brought back." 
Sister Oldham writes from La Junta 
that those who are able to take hold of 
the work there are enjoying God's bless-
ing as they go out with the papers. 
They have ordered too more to use in 
La Junta and surrounding territory. At 
the time Sister Oldham wrote us they 
had collected $35.00 
In harmony with the recommendations 
of the Central Union Conference com-
mittee we sent to copies of the papers 
to each of our isolated people, who had 
not ordered previously. .We have re-
ceived some .most encouraging letters 
and responses from these papers. Some 
of the isolated ones ate members of 
different churches in the Conference, so 
the credit will go to their church. 
One brother writes that he was not 
very successful in securing funds, but 
he found many •people interested in 
reading. He wished ten more papers 
which we were pleased to send him. 
Another brother in the eastern part of 
the state sent us $1.00 as a result of his 
work with the ten papers which we sent 
him. He also sent us an order for fifty 
more copies. That soundsgood,doesn't it?

Elder Andrew Nelson and Wife, for-
merly Dr. Ida Herr, spent a few hours 
Sunday, Novernber 19, visiting her 
brother in Denver. They are on their 
way to California to, connect .with the 
Saint Helena Sanitarium. Elder'Nelson 
will take up work in Connection with 
the Sanitarium, and California Confer-
ence, while Dr. Nelson becomes head 
lady, physician. 
Our latest word regarding "Acts of the. 
Apostles" is that it will he ready: for 
shipment as specified,that is. Decem-
ber t. The advance orders which have 
reached this office have been sent along 
to-the Pacific Press. We will be glad:to 
send other orders to them also. We do 
not expect to have a freight shipment 
here much before Christmas.. _But orders 
to be sent direct will receive our prompt 
attention. 
The great regret of many some day 
will be that they have spent too much 
time with men and not enough with 
God. Let not this regret be yours. 
Learn to visit alone with God. You cab 
not be a Christian Without praying, for 
prayer is the breath of spiritual life. 
The little Morning, Watch Calendar has 
helped others to form the habit of per-
sonal devotion. Will you not try it? 
Get one of these booklets from the Tract 
Society. Price, five cents. 
This copy of the ECHOES is No. 23 of 
Volume 21. We have in the office 'a 
great many of the hack numbers of the 
paper, but our file is not complete. The 
oldest number is Volume 4, No. 16,bear-
ing date of November. 23, 1893. After 
that the file is more or less broken.• 
If any of our readers have broken or 
complete files of the paper we would 
like to correspond with you as we are 
very anxious to have a complete file in 
the office. Such a file will form a valu-
able historical rec,ord in regard to the 
early days of the Colorado Conference. 
We expect to have these papers bound 
soon, but are very anxious to have just 
as many as possible so that the record 
may be complete. 
Those of our people who receive the 
Review and Herald no doubt • noticed 
the advertisement for "Easy Steps in the 
Bible Story" which is just coming from 
the Review and Herald press. This 
excellent book has had careful prepara-
tion and will prove a valuable addition 
to Seventh-day Adventist literature. It 
supplies us for a long-felt want, that of 
a complete Bible story without such 
erroneous doctrines as the immortality 
of the, soul mixed in. We can safely 
give this book to our children knowing 
that it will be profitable and interesting 
to them. An advance copy has not yet 
reached this office, but we expect one 
any day. . We, will be glad to show this 
copy when it does come to our brethren 
and sisters who-may be able to visit us. 
We will also'be pleased to place orders 
for the book to be. sent to any address 
which you may wish. It is a subscrip-
tion book, selling at $3, $4 and $5. Write 
us for special prices. 
Pledges 
We trust that all who made pledges 
at our recent camp meeting are plan-
ning to pay the same when they become 
due. It is proper to pay these to your 
church treasurer. But when doing so, 
be sure to tell . the treasurer definitely 
what the money is for, and request him 
to inform us when remitting to -us. If 
this is not done, we will still carry your 
pledge as unpaid. 
We notice that a large number of 
pledges for the $300,000 Fund and for 
foreign missions are payable on January 
r, 1912. We hope that so far as possible 
these pledges may be paid before, that 
date so that they may be included in 
their respective funds for the present 
year. �

HEATH—Margive S. Heath was horn 
May 2, 1860, and died at his home in 
DenVer, Colo., Nov. 5, 1911. For years 
Brother •Heath had not enjoyed gcod 
health, and when taken with pneumonia, 
after a few days of intense but patient 
suffering, he was given rest. He with 
bis family accepted the truths of the 
Third Angel's Message when presented 
by the writer about eighteen years ago. 
He leaves a wife and three children who 
are comforted with the assurance that 
the blessing is his that was ,spoken .for 
those who die in the Lord. He was a 
most earnest christian and his expe-
rience as such revealed his knowledge 
of the Savior even before his acceptance 
of present truth. 
Comforting words were spoken by the 
Writer from John 11:23. Brethren 
Anglebarger, Richards and Alway as-
sisted in the service, also Brother Rose 
of the Congregational church.
