ECHOES FROM THE FIELD.
Denver
“The work in Denveris onward. Many
are interested in the truth, We are all
busy with our Bible work. The readings
in the homes of the people are well at-
tended. New ones are taking hold with
us. We are also conducting a Bible
school which meets twice a week. Many
of our members are taking a great inter-
est in this and are preparing to do ag-
gressive work in the city by holding
readings and visiting the people in their
homes with our literature.
We have prepared a small tract on the
Eastern Question, We will have this
tract printed at a very reasonable rate, so
we will be able to place a copy in every
home in the city, Now isa very oppor-
tune time to put something along this
line in the hands of the people, as all are
watching Turkey to seé what will hap-
pen to this cruel power. Now i is the time
for us to elt them what the Lord says
about it. :
Sabbath, February 8, three more good
souls. were, baptized. in the Capitol Hill
church. Twe of these are young ladies
who are preparing to enter the work of
the Lord at-once. . We are all of good
courage, and we want our dear people
everywhere to remember the. work when
they pray —2 Thess, 3:1.

“We are glad to say that our society
here in Longmont is doing something
for the Master. As we look ahout us
and see where true inissionary work is
needed, we'also see the need of ‘divine
power 10 guide us in our efforts to bring
souls to Christ. We must have the Sa-
vionr with us, for without Him our labors
will be fruitless.
-Qur - Society’ ordered - one hundred
Temperance - Instructors and a club’ of
forty Signs of the Times monthly maga-
zines, I think all have. been ased, and
we pray that many good seeds have
been sown as a result of this distribution,
Many other periodicals are being loaned,
mailed, and given away. We should
use the printed page as never before.
We must work while yet ‘tis day,
Soon’ comes setting sun;
No chance to speak for Jesus then
For man's work wiil be done.”
I heartily recommend the correspond-
ence plan. A good cheery letter with
one or two good and fitting scripture
references referred to, accompanied by
a tract or paper, usually will bring a re-
ply, and a “Thank you” lor your so
kindly remembering them,
to time,
I also recommend reporting in your .
‘society.
Some personal experience re-
lated during the service adds greatly to
the interest of other members, in fact,
serves as seasoning to the meal.
We are having good attendance, and
as we use the program given in the /z-
structor, we find each week several can
have a part. These outlines are surely
fine, and with the abundant supply of
material we have, splendid programs
can be rendered from week to week. In
‘preparing t these pro grams we should en-
courage younger ones to help in speak-
ing and singing. This helps to get those
interested.
Qur Prayer Band meets every Friday
evening at 7:30, and itis well attended.
The services are conducted from time to
time By different members of the Band.
As I see these younger ones growing up
my prayer is that a whole army of young
people may go forth {rom Longmont to
labor in the Master's field till the last
sheaf is bound for the harvest. The
time is short and the laborers are few.
Let us encourage the youth.

“Hospital Day”
We hope that all will give special at-
tention to the article written by Elder A.
G. Daniells, president of the General
Conférence, regarding the Loma Linda
Medical Hospital.
There isa pressing need: for a good
clinical hospital for our medical students.
The erection of a building was authorized
about a year ago and the work was be-
gun, but on account of insufficient funds
the work was stopped.
"A most earnest effort should be put
forth by all conference laborers and
church officers to secure as large a col-
lection as possible on the date fixed,
namely, March 13. Co
We sincerely hope that all of our
brethren everywhere will bear this in
mind and be prepared to assist to the
ntmeost of their ability in this needed
enterprise. -E. T, RUSSELL.
