DENVER, COLO., WEDNESDAY, MAY 15, 1912. VOLUME XXII. NUMBER 10. o the morning sow thy sett a .vck the evening wtthho1d. not %me hand Eect: t:6: Our Paper Have you read the little paper called ECHOES FROM THE FIELD It comes to me quite often in an envelope un- sealed It brings a cheering message, with truth it al- ways rings: What could we do without it; without the nelp it brings. We are always glad to see you. We read you through and through; When blue and most discouraged, it's lots of good-you do. You speak of plans for labor, and tell of new plans laid, • You speak of all the progress this message true has made. If death has claimed a loved one that to our hearts was dear, You are sure to have a message,—through ECHOES we will hear; You are our friend, dear paper; you lead our thoughts to heaven, You lead our thoughts to Jesus—His love and mercy given. Dear Eastern Colorado, all you who do not read This paper called the ECHOES, I am sure you'll feel the need Of the uplift and comfort I know 'twill bring to you. And when you read its pages you'll find my statement true. Just send to Brother Emery, the editor-in-chief. A bright and shining quarter. 'twill bring his heart relief To have a lot of quarters come in without delay. But I think I hear some brother or worried sister say: "So many ways for money. Of course it would be nice; What shall I do about it? how can we raise the price? 0 well. I can mend the stockings and make them longer last: We really must have the ECHOES before this week is past." It truly must be splendid; we have heard of it before. I think I read one somewhere, and want to read some more. Here are some dimes and nickles,—I have saved them since last fall; I will not count them over, I'll just send them all. Brother Emery, take a quarter from out this little store, The rest I send to missions; how I wish it were ten times more; But He who is our Father our inmost soul cloth read And counts the love, the motive, the will, as well as deed. MRS. C. R. RITE. -flow Will You Observe It? DAY APPOINTED Sabbath, May, 25, has been appointed by the General Conference Committee as Young People's Day. All our churches and companies in the United States and Canada are asked to devote that day to a study of the organized work for the youth. This work for our young people is becoming more and more in- teresting. Already the organization has grown until its influence encircles the earth, gripping thousands of young peo- ple, drawing them into the church, and quickening their footsteps in service. WHAT IT DOES Recently a worker Wrote, "Our confer- ence is only six years old, but from churches where young people's societies have been organized several workers have gone forth. One young man has served as tent master, another is princi- pal in an intermediate school, another is lecturing in connection with his medical course, still another is assistant-secretary of a tract society, and many others are canvassers. Some of our young ladies E re church school teachers, nurses, Bible workers, and one is a matron in an inter- mediate school." This is one of the many evidences we have that with the blessing of God the organized work for the youth is helping to prepare mes- sengers to carry speedily the last mes- sage of hope to a dying world. DO NOT FORGET Friends, the salvation of our youth will depend largely upon their own efforts for others. What are we doing to co-operate with God in helping our young people prepare to do the work for which he has chosen them? Upon every church a divine hand lays the responsi- bility of doing her utmost to enlist and - train her young men and women for Christian service; so I trust that nothing will hinder any church, large or small, from observing May 25, as Young Peo- ple's Day. An excellent program ap- pears in the Review of May 9. Study the work for our youth. Pray for its success. It merits our support. God has marvelously blessed this work in the past, and we cannot doubt its future success; but he is counting on your church to co-operate with him in utiliz- ing to the best advantage the organiza- tion which he has called into existence to help save our youth from the world and train them for service in the Mace- donian fields at home and abroad. Do not forget May 25. It is a special op• portunity to study the Missionary Volun- teer work. Make the most of it. M AT I I., DA ERICKSON, Cor. Sec. of General Conference Mis- sionary Vol. Dept. Foreign Missions Investment Fund We are receiving some very interest- ing returns from the Investment Fund blanks which we sent out early in the spring. We believe the proceeds this year will be a large item. We hope they will swell our Missions Offering for ECHOES FROM THE FIELD., the year until we are well able to meet the General Conference ideal. There are yet many churches to be heard front. We take this opportunity to request that the matter of investments be finished up, and the stubs sent to this office as soon as possible. Just to give an idea of the interest that is being taken in the work we will note a few of the investment pledges which have been received to date. I acre of wheat, 2 acres of beans, 5 acres of corn, proceeds from � dozen chickens, one dozen young chickens, proceeds of two colonies of bees, one dozen young roosters, two hens with set- tings of eggs, one calf. We are glad to notice that so many of these pledges are liberal. There will he a good many chickens raised in Colo- rado this summer to help swell the Mission fund. We believe that if our people, both young and old, engage in this work, they will have a growing in- terest in the great mission enterprise which they are aiding. Now let us make this Investment Fund a definite thing. Make a definite pledge. If possible, make one that will increase in value, like most of those listed above. Then be sure to send in the stubs to the office so we may get the information and learn of your inter- est in the great mission field. More blanks will gladly be sent on request. R. T. EMERY. Among the Churches For a number of weeks I have been spending the greater portion of my time visiting churches and I am glad that I can say I have had some blessed ex- periences with our brethren and sisters. When I was at Hygiene I met with both the English and German churches. Brother F. G. Specht, who has been elder of the German church, has recent- ly moved to our school at Campion. So the brethren elected Brother Math Wen- cel, as their elder. Brother Herman Neumann was chosen treasurer. There had been some misunderstanding exist- ing between some of the brethren in the English church, but a meeting was held and matters were talked over, the sweet Spirit of God was present, and every- thing was cleared away. I ain sure that God will richly bless these brethren as they press forward with one purpose to do the work of God. When I visited the Peaceful Valley church at Nunn I found the brethren of good courage. Only a few of them were able to he present at the meetings as the day was a very stormy one. At the Fort Collins church we had a good attendance. We had the Spirit of the Lord with us in a rich measure and I believe better days are ahead of the church there. Brother H. B. McConnell who is located there is doing an excel- lent work. When I visited our church at Wray some of them drove in twenty miles to attend the meeting. The weather was stormy so the attendance was not so large as it would have been otherwise. But we had a gond meeting. I found the brethren of good courage, and they plan to take an active part in the For- eign Missions Investment Fund. Four of the young people of this church de- sire baptism. As I returned from Wray I stopped over one day at Brush. I visited a German family who have re- cently begun keeping the Sabbath. I enjoyed meeting this fainily very much. Returning to Denver, I was present with the West Side church at their quarterly meeting service. It was the largest attendance I think I have seen for a long time. I was especially pleased to see so many of the young people present and taking an active part in the service. I have also visited the brethren at La Salle, Loveland, and other places and found them of good courage in the work of God. The general prospects of the work over the Conference is encourag- ing. I find a good outlook for crops in both the dry farming and irrigated dis- tricts and shall we not pray that the Lord will bless us with financial pros- perity this year, that we may have an abundance to bring into His treasury in tithes and offerings. Thee of our Conference workers have recently taken up other lines of work temporarily for good reasons. Sis!er Sufficool, our Bible worker from the Capitol Hill churck, is assisting Brother and Sister Rice in their food store and treatment rooms in Colorado Springs. Brother P. P. Gaede is with his family on a farm at La Salle. He is working what he can with the church while on the farm, and is a help to the work there. Brother W. D. Emery's health, it will be remembered, failed him one year ago, and being threatened with a break down again this spring, has takeh up work on his father's farm near Boul- der for the summer. His going on the farm was also made necessary, owing to the fact that the man who was running the farm for his father suddenly failed in health. We sincerely trust that this change will prove a blessing to Brother Emery healthwise so that he can again be actively engaged in the work. Next week the Conference Committee plan to have a meeting to consider the work for the summer, at which time plans will he laid for the tent meetings and also the question as to where our annual camp-meeting and Conference will be held. We ask your prayers, brethren, that the Lord will guide us and give us wisdom that just the right plans may be laid. � C. R. KITE. Idaho Springs and Yoder Sabbath, April 13th, the writer met with the Idaho Springs church. The day was very windy and disagreeable, but for all this nearly all members of the church were present, and we had a good day together because the Lord was there. In the forenoon we spoke on; "The Father gave all, The Son gave all, and whosoever will be a disciple of Christ must leave all for His sake." See, John 3:16, Phil. 2:5.8, Luke 14:33. In the afternoon we celebrated the ordinances of the Lord's house. Thus we spent the day, and were together from 10 a. M. to 5 p. m. The evening hours were spent with a faMily who are interested and seeking fot the truth. On Monday April 15, we left. for Cal_ han to visit the company at Yoder, established last summer from the labors of Brother Cox and the writer. We found this company of good courage and pressing on the upward way. We spent two Sabbaths there, held several meetings with them, also the ordinance services, and re-elected Sabbath school office rs. Three dear souls there desire baptism at the first opportune time. We presented the great missionary cause, and how we can all have a part in this good work and lay up treasurers in heaven. This company is fully in harmony with the "Missions Investment Fund." Several pledges were made. Some of these pledges are as follows: Proceeds of � acre beans, � acre pota- • toes, one dozen chickens, 15 cents a week cash, one setting of eggs, etc. This willing spirit to help, after two years failure of crops, and the hard, cold, and long winter following the dry seasons, is a good manifestation of the love for the truth and the souls out of the great three-fold Message. May the Lord richly repay in this life, and eternal life to come. We could bring ECHOES FROM THE FIELD. with us from Yoder in cash and put in the storehouse of the Lord of tithe and offerings $94.85. The Lord will open the windows of heaven to all who are faith- ful in giving Him his own. H A. AUFDERHAR. Fort Collins About the first of the year the Confer- ence asked us to make Fort Collins our field of labor. � After attending the Ministerial Institute in College View we returned to Victor and closed up our work the best we could. We were sorry to leave the Cripple Creek District as we have learned to love the people very dearly, but our health is much bet- ter here. We arrived in Fort Collins about the middle of February. Many of our peo- ple here live several miles out in the country, and the weather and bad roads have prevented many from coming, so our attendance has been small. The church in Collins has passed through some very trying experiences, but the dear Lord has worked with us, and He is able to work and none can hinder. Sabbath, May 4, was a wonderful day for us. We began our meeting at t1:00 a. m and it closed after 4:oo p m. God came near by His Holy Spirit. Sins were confessed; wrongs made right,— some of long standing. Elders Kite and Aufderhar were with us. We trust there are brighter days ahead for the Fort Collins church. Sabbath, May it, was another good day when some definite work was done to set things right. Our hearts were ‘made glad, and to the dear Lord be all the praise. Surely God's remnant peo- ple, with all of their mistakes and fail- ures when they see their wrongs are willing to forgive and forget, and arise as one man to go forward and finish the work placed in their hands, so that Jesus may come and take us out of this vale of- tears. We have a company of about twenty- five or thirty at Bellvue, about eight miles out. They hold their meeting at 3:0o p. m , so we are able to meet with them on the Sabbath. • We ask the prayers of God's faithful children that He may have His way in all of our hearts. H. B. MCCONNELL. The Sabbath School We are sorry indeed that we cannot now give you an itemized statement of the amount of Sabbath school donations, including the 13th Sabbath offering, for last quarter, as we promised in the last issue of the ECHOES. This delay is due to-the fact that,the reports from several of the schools have not been received. The next issue will Contain the report. The reports which come to us show that our schools are ready to co-operate in giving the 13th Sabbath donations to a definite field. This is a splendid plan and what a privilege we have in helping to make this a success. Some of the schools gave almost as much on the Thirteenth Sabbath as was given on the twelve Sabbaths. We surely remem- bered India in a real material way. This gives us a deeper interest in the work in India. The work is almost done and if faithful, a little while from now we will meet many from the far away lands who will be saved as the re- sult of our liberal Sabbath school con- tributions. In all our efforts we must constantly keep before our minds the great needy mission fields. MRS. MAE WARFLE. Colorado Sanitarium Food Work I am sure that the people of our Con- ference are interested in the Colorado Sanitarium Food. Company located at Boulder, for we all like good things to eat. A short time ago when I was in Boulder I looked through our factory and saw the many good things which are manufactured there. In a letter just received from Brother Ward Cooper, the local manager, he states that a number of improvements have recently been made, and the out- look for the work is quite encouraging, just having received several large orders from wholesale houses. I trust that our people in the Conference will remember to get some of the good things made by our food factory. Send for a catalogue so that you will know what the good things are. The branch store of the factory located at 1515 Stout St.,Den ver, of which Brother J. G. Weller is manager, is doing a pros- perous business. When I was in the store a few days ago I found that they were planning to remove to a new location 613 15th St., which will no doubt he bet- ter than where they are at the present time. Brother Weller reports that many of the prominent people of Denver are using their health foods. I take it for granted that all of our people do. May the Lord add His rich blessing to this branch of the work. C. R. KITE. Our Efforts for Korea The ECHOES family will be glad to know that the young people of this Con- ference are responding nobly to the call which has come to us from Korea. We were asked to raise $200 to help Dr. Russell in his medical work in this needy field, and I am happy to tell you that a good beginning has already been made. One Missionary Volunteer leader writes, "Our young people's society voted to raise $to." Another says, "You can count on at least $25 from the young people, and the children are anxious to help too." One society has at least eighteen members who each have prom- ised to give $5. This is truly encourag- ing and we are sure that very soon we will have the $200 in hand to send to as- sist the workers in needy Korea. Let us not slacken our efforts until the goal is reached. MRS. MAE WARFLE. Does It Pay? Every Seventh day Adventist should secure a copy of the little pink circular "Does it pay" No. 4, recently issued by the Sins. All the incidents given in. the circular show that our good pioneer missionary paper is certainly accom plishing its work. The Signs surely does bring people • into the Truth. Its plan of covering the points of Truth in six months-series, going over the Mes- sage each time, is making it a most effec- tive preacher for this great three-fold Message. It most emphatically pays to circulate the Signs. Let us rally tto the new series soon to commence and see that all those in whom we feel an inter- est are supplied with these "Truth for Today" numbers-25 in all. The pub- lishers ask only 65c each in clubs of five or more, and they will mail them to separate addresses. Orders should go to the COLORADO TRACT SOCIETY. Notice I know where there is a good position with one of our brethren on a farm near Brush for a man and his wife,—the man to do the farm work, and the wife to do the work of a hired girl. The man must understand horses and farming. Good wages will he paid. I have a place also for just a man on a farm. Good wages. Anyone interested in either of these places please write me at once. � C. R. KITE. ECHOES FROM THE FIELD. Echoes from the field. Published every two weeks for the Colorado S. D. A.

There is an opportunity for a Seventh- day Adventist iron moulder to secure employment in Boulder. Anyone inter- ested correspond with Will Euler, Jr., 1025 Portland Ave„ Boulder. Elder J. S. Rouse has just spent sev- eral days at Alamosa, assisting Brother Roy Hay and Judge Holbrook with meetings now being held at that place. We learn that the attendance is exellent, some evenings running as high as 75. Brother W. H. Cox is able to be around again. Brother Cox has had a long severe sickness during the winter, spending about three months at the San- itarium in Boulder. He is planning, however, to get back in the work during the coming summer. Sabbath, May, 4, the West Denver church was glad to have Elder E. T. Russell meet with them. He also preached in the church Sunday night. Elder Russell spent several days in Colorado, becoming better acquainted with our work and workers here. In the past we have had several calls for Family Bible Teacher in broken packages. In order to be able to supply this demand we have placed a stock of each number on our shelves. Hereafter we will be able to send any amount of any number you may wish for � each, postpaid. The Commencement exercises of our Academy at Campion will be held May 18 and 19. Professor Wirth will preach the baccaleaureate sermon on Sabbath morning. Elder Kite will give the Com- mencement address Sunday evening, May 19. We expect a report of these exercises for our next issue. Dr. H. C. Menkel left Denver recently to engage in city work in the east during the coming summer. He also plans to take some post graduate work. Sister Menkel is still in Denver but expects to leave for Philadelphia the first of June. They plan to return to India in the fall. We also learn that Brother R. R. Cook, who has been spendnig the winter with his brother, Frank Friend, at Lamar is going to Washington, D. C., to assist in tent work there during the coming summer. Brother Cook and family are also planning to return to India next fall. The Commencement exercises of Union College commence Thursday, May 16. This is the 21st Anniversary of the founding of the school. The first president, Professor W. W. Prescott, will give the baccaleaureate sermon on Sabbath, May 18. They are also plan ping special exercises commemorative of the occasion. Brother G. B. Satterlee of Syracuse, N. Y., has just sent us a renewal to the ECHoES. He writes that although it has been some time since he moved away from Colorado, he does not know how it would feel to be deprived of the ECHOES. He has taken it ever since the autumn of 1893, and expects to continue his subscription as long as he lives. Number 3 of the Washington Foreign Mission Seminary Record has just been received at this office. It contains a re- port of the President of the institution, also the annual report of the Washing- ton, D. C., Sanitarium, besides many in- teresting articles telling of the work that is being done in connection with the Seminary. Some very practical visiting nurses work is being done in Washing- ton. This is a very interesting number, especially since the Seminary is such an important factor in the development and training of foreign missionaries. We be- lieve many of our people will be glad to have a copy of this report. They will be sent free. Mail your address to the Washington Foreign Mission Seminary, Takoma Park Station, Washington, D. C. Obituaries- DECKER—Mrs. Zelmer Decker, for- merly Miss Zelmer Clark, was born March 31, 1843, in Kentucky, and died May 4, 1912, at the home of her daugh- ter,. Mrs. A. A. Hagan, Comanche, Colorado, of cancer; aged 69 years one month and five da',s Deceased was a member of the Christian church for a number of years. About a year ago she came in contact with Present Truth, which she accepted, and at her death was a firm believer in the soon coming of the Lord and was keeping the Lord's Sabbath. She is survived by four chil- dren, two sons, T. W. and A. F. Jefferies, who reside at Enemclaw, Washington, and two daughters, Mrs. Stella Ortner of Missouri, and Mrs. A. A. Hagen, the only one of her children present at the funeral. Last summer, while on a visit to Washington, she lost her husband by death. Sister Decker was a great suf- ferer, which she bore with patience and resignation and fell asleep with the blessed assurance of a part in the first resurrection when Jesus comes. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer from Isaiah 40;6-8 G. M. ALWAY. WHITE—Mrs. Rebecca White was born in Arkansas, and died of cancer in Lamar, Colorado, May 2, 1912, aged forty-four years, four months, and seven- teen days. She formerly belonged to the Baptist church, but as a result of Bible studies held by Brother J. Z. Walker about five years ago, she was convinced of the truths of the Third Angel's Message and joined the Seventh- day Adventist church. Since then she has faithfully held to the truths so dear to her and tried to hold up the light among her people. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, using the scriptures pertaining to the sleep of the dead, the resurrection, and the second coming of Christ to a large gathering of neighbors and friends. She is survived by her husband and one daughter. � R. R. COOK.
