An Important Call for March 15 Loma Linda Hospital Day . - Sabbath; March 15, brings to us an op- portunity ' of unusual privilege, that of uniting as a people in establishing our denominational medical college hospital. It is the first time this matter has been presented to us in this way, and, the oc- casion deserves and demands our most hearty response. The object of this call for help is one that appeals to every in- dividual among us, and should move us to a united action in performing the thing required. The development of our medical mis- sionary work since its origin with us fifty years ago, has ever called for advance moves. It has made progress according as'we have kept paceavith its demands. Its growth has been constant and cer- tain, and untold good has been accom- plished in field and institutional work. We came to the place where it seemed absolutely necessary that we have our, own medical college, where an education could be given that'would in the highest sense meet the needs of. Seventh-day Adventist medical workers. After most careful investigation, and with evident leadings of God's providences, the Col- lege of Medical Evangelists was estab- lished at Loma Linda, California. After, three years' experience in conducting this school, the wiscloma- of-- its -establis ment is being fully, demonstrated. There are at present sixty-three stu- dents in attendance. A number of these are now' entering their fourth year. Their education thus far has been such as could be given with present facilities. They now come to the mole important part of their education and training, where they must have practical experi- ence in the care and treatment of the sick. They need to make application of the knowledge they have gained in right methods of treatment, such as we teach, and which they wish to follow in their future work. They should have oppor- ttinity•of seeing these methods employed and of studying their effects. They should, under the supervision of our own physicians, be permitted to diagnose and prescribe treatment. This need can not be met in outside medical schools or hospitals. Aside from the evident value of facili- ties for giving the most efficient training, there are the legal requirements, which demand certain standards of education before permitting students to pass ex- aminations for actual practice. A peo- ple occupying the prominent position we do in conducting health institutions and in the promulgation of health prin- ciples should certainly not be satisfied with anything below the highest standard recog6ized by the world. We must not only be prepared to meet this, but go as far beYond it as the special needs of our. work May demand. This we are aiming to do in the work of our medical college. Above all, there is the important mat- ter of holding our own medical Students and fhture missionaries under the in- fluence of our own instruttors, whete they may have the mostfavorable cOndi-' tionS,for maintaining in the highest de- gree their rov CIO r' a ticr hitt teif � e - cause of truth in which they' are called' to serve. Any one can readily see that this is essential to the right training of our workers. The establishment of a hospital will do more than simply supply a means of ad- vanced education. It will open a way whereby many of our own people can re- ceive the best of attention and hospital care at most moderate cost It will also bring to us a large number of people from without, who could not enter sani, tariums where the rates are necessarily higher. 'The services rendered' will be of the highest efficiency, and the ,most kindly consideration will be shown all. This matter comes before us in the ap- pointment of a special Hospital Day, at which time we will make an offering to this work. It is thought that, if we aver- age fifty cents each in our gifts, it will meet the, needs. While some' may find it a little difficult to meet this amount, with the other calls that come, others can surely give much more, thus helping to make up the full sum. Lei the occa- sion be one of liberal response, and let us in this one effort establish this most worthy and needed enterprise, a hospital for our medical college at Loma Linda. A. G. DANIELLS. ECHOES FROM THE FIELD. Denver The work in Denver is 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 is a very oppor- tune time to put something along this fine in the hands Of the people, as all are watching Turkey to see what will hap- pen to this cruel power. Now is the time for us to tell them what the Lord says about it. Sabbath, February 8, three more good souls were, baptized in the- Capitol Hill church. Two 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:t. G. W. ANGLEBARGER. Longmont Missionary Volunteer Society We are glad' to say that our society here in Longmont is doing something for the Master. As we look about us and see where true missionary work is needed, we also see the need of divine power to guide us in our efforts to bring souls to Christ. We must have the Sa- viour with us, for without Him our labors will be fruitless. Our Society- ordered one hundred Temperance Instructors and a club of forty Signs of the Times monthly maga- zines. I think all have been used, 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 will 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" for your so kindly remembering them. Thus the way is opened to send more from time 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 In- 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 he rendered from week to week. In preparing these programs we should en- courage younger ones to help in speak- ing and singing. This helps to get those interested. Our Prayer Band meets every Friday evening at 7:30, and it is 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 from 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. MRS. F. N. MCKIBBEN, Leader. Why I Am a Seventh-day Adventist I am a Seventh-day Adventist, not be- cause anyone else on earth is one, but because the Bible teaches the doctrines held to be true by a people called by that name. I am a Seventh day Adventist because I, read my Bible and believed it, and when I found the Adventists I found that, our belief of the. Bible agreed. I con- tinue to he a Seventh-day Adventist be- cause of their general agreement with the teaching of the Word of God. Some people have gone away from this denomination, and they say it was be- cause they found had people among them. There was one bad man among the twelve members, of the first Chris- tian Church ever organized, but the eleven did not go away and denounce the movement because there was a bad man connected with it.' The eleven were not in the movement as followers of men, and they would not forsake it be- cause of men. Every great cause has had its false friends, and especially does a divine movement have its hypocritical follow- ers, for this is Satan's method of seeking obstruction or overthrow. Those who forsake a divine cause because it has false friends or bad men connected with it, have themselves never been the true friends of the cause; or if they haveever been true, they have in time joined the false, and do not find the society of the true any longer congenial. Sometimes their separation from a work is due to a violent disagreement with the rest of the bad element connected with it. None of this, however, has any bearing on the great divine principle underlying the movement. A good exhortation to all would be, keep your eyes on the great Leader and His truth, and not on the bad people. These must be lost- sight of either in 'time, or in eternity. The way is narrow, and if we stop to look at those who will plunge into the abyss, we are in danger of ourselves falling by the way. It is too dangerous to be indulged in. ALLEN MOON, In Lake Union Herald. "Hospital Day" We hope that all will give special at- tention to the article written by Elder A. G. Daniells, president of the General Conference, regarding the Loma Linda Medical Hospital. There is a 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 15. We sincerely hope that all of our brethren everywhere will bear this in mind and be prepared to assist to the utmost of their ability in this needed enterprise. �E. T. RUSSELL.

Do you know that many of the books sold by our Home Worker's during the holiday season sell right through the year? They do, and they sell readily, too. For several weeks last summer one brother in Canada sold 5o copies of Steps to Christ weekly. Every book listed in the prospectus is good for any season of the year. And people will buy them. If you do not have a Home Worker's pros- pectus send for one. It is good for ser- vice 52 weeks in the, year. At our chapel service thiS morning an Interesting letter was read from 'a 'sister in New Orleans, La., who, with several other members of her family;gave come into the truth through the sale of one Watchman on the' streets of NetvOHeatis to her brother; and they were every one of them Roman Catholics 'befdre `the message found them.—Southern Pub, Ass'n. One of our aged brethren who is iso- lated recently-sent-us an orderfor Mar- vel of Nations. This brother had sold a few copies of the book years ago, and he wished to try it again. In a few days after sending the book we received his order for 6 more copies, and he writes he may wish still more. In December he ordered 3 copies of Great Controversy, and last summer he used ,severat copies of Best Stories, and a club of Liberty. He is a subscriber to the Review and Herald.

You keep us so busy that we do not get much time to talk. BUt we are going to take a little tithe, and use a little space, to tell you a few things about our paper, this paper:—EcHoEs FROM THE FIELD. YOU are the judges of the value of the paper: ­ Many tell us that they appreci- ateit, a large number write that they feel they could not get along with out it.` And as a conference we all need it. The pa- per has a place. But do you know. we have been so tittsy that. we •have not given-the care to the circulation end of the paper we Should give. Renewals are coming in alright when we mention the need of them, and let the subscribers know they are due. This issue we are checking all the expirations up to and including March 15. We are not putting that blue cross on the outside, but right at the head of this article. If there is one on your copy speak to your church librarian abont.it, or if that is inconvenient' send us 25 cents in stamps, or better still add the price of this- paperto an order for the General Conference Bulletin, or some of our excellent periodicals or books. We believe that if our office were pro- vided with an addressing machine en- abling us to list the expiration date on each wraj.per the care of the list would become almost automatic here. But we have not such a machine, and so we are trying to accomplish the same thing with the least expense possible. As you co operate with us it will give us more time for something else, and there are a number of "somethings else" needing attention in the various branches of our work. If there is a church elder or a church treasurer for t913 who does not get the paper, we are going to place that name on the list ere long, even if we charge the price to our profit and loss account. You know the loss end of the financial statement of the ECHOES is the heaviest end. We expect to lose money. But still it pays in final results. The more subscribers we have the more it helps us keep going. After attending to your own renewal if it needs it, give someone else the opportunity of joining our. fam- ily. Perhaps they will thank you for the favor after becoming acquainted, even if they don't at the time. Elder M. A. Altman is in Colorado Springs assisting in the work there. Elder G. M. Alway leaves Denver to- day to spend a few days, with the Trini dad church. Miss Frances Brockman left Denver the first of the week to care for her moth- er in Oklahoma. Miss Edith Dorman underwent a se- rious operation at the Sanitarium last week. We are glad to report that she is getting along well. Elder G. F.

Reeder of Wyoming passed through Denver last week. He has just recovered from an operation performed at the Sanitarium in Boulder. Brother C. W. Carr of Yuma brought Brother. Wm. Mathieson to the Sani- tarium last week suffering severely from an acute attack of appendicitis. A suc- cessful operation was immediately per- formed. Elder C. G. Bellah, our Union Confer- ence Canvassing Agent, and Brother S. N. Curtiss, manager of the Pacific Press Branch at Kansas City, spent several days at Niwot in attendance at the Canvass- ers' Institute. They also spent one day at the Academy at Campion. At the recent session of the Central Union Conference Committee held at College View, delegates were chosen to represent the union conference at the coming General Conference.. Dr. H. A.

The city authorities of poulder, closed all the schools in the city, and also issued an order prohibiting all children from attending church and pub- lic gatherings. We trust this prompt re- lief measure may be effectual. t The first of February Elder Rouse held a few meetings in the vicinity of p itton, a town south of Pueblo. At this lace Brother and Sister Vance have lived for several years, and through their faithful efforts a number have become interested in the truth. Brother Rouse expects to return to Sitton to continue the work. Brother C. E. Eldridge reports an in- terest in the work at Colorado Springs.
