"Take Heart." 
Take heart, 0 weary, burdened one, bowed down 
Beneath thy cross; 
Remember that the greatest gain may come 
Through greatest loss. 
Thy life is nobler for a sacrifice, 
And more divine. 
Acres of bloom are crushed to make a drop 
Of perfume fine. 
Because of storms that lash the ocean waves, 
The waters there 
Keep purer than if the heavens o'erhead 
Were always fair. 
The brightest banner of the skies float not 
At noonday warm; 
The rainbow traileth after thunder-clouds, 
And after storm. 
Thy faults are needed, lest thy weakness be 
Too soon forgot. 
God never gives his tenderest care to those 
Who need it not; 
Nor canst thou rest till thou bast labored well; 
So, set for thee, 
Are Alpine heights to climb, ere thou canst dwell 
In Italy.

Personal Experience in the Sale of 
"Christ's Object Lessons." 
It has been proved to my mind beyond 
a doubt that "Christ's Object Lessons" is 
an extremely easy book to sell. While en-
gaged in the sale of this book in the town 
of Waynesboro, Pennsylvania, I placed 
many books in the homes of the people by 
simply leaving the book in the homes 
for their examination. I provided a neat 
paper cover for the book and had printed 
on the outside the name of the book and 
explained the meaning of the title and 
tilt mission of the book, giving price, 
etc., saying that it would be left two 
days for examination. I found that to 
hand the people the book with one of the 
covers on it and give them an opportun-
ity to look it over at their own pleasure 
was all that was necessary in many cases 
to sell the book. 
• I have in mind several Cases in which 
the sale of one book in that way was the 
means of effecting other sales. The very 
first book I sold in Waynesboro was sold 
in that way. When I called for the book 
the lady handed me the money instead 
of the book. I said to her, "Now Mrs. 
Shank, if you can say a good word for 
this book to your neighbors or your 
friends when they come to see you, it 
will be very much appreciated." She 
did say a good word for it and the out-
come was I made two extra sales as a 
result of this sale and did not need to 
make any canvass or explanation of the 
book to do it. Another place I left a 
copy of the book (with the cover) with a 
well-known physician of the town, and 
when I called for the book he likewise 
gave me the money and kept the book. 
I said to him, "Now Dr., if you can say a 
good word for the book to those who 
come to your office, it will be casting 
your influence on the right side and may 
do a great deal of good." He did say a 
good word for it and on Thanksgiving 
day a friend of his spent the day with 
him and his attention was directed to 
"Christ's Object Lessons." He took a 
great liking to the book. He went to his 
home and said to his wife, "When the 
agent comes around with the book, 
"Christ's Object Lessons," I want you to 
give him an order for it. When I came 
to the particular house where Mr. Frick 
lived, his wife came to the door. She 
was indisposed to give me a hearing. I 
said to her I presume you have heard of 
the book "Christ's Object Lessons." She 
replied by saying that her husband re-
quested her to give an order for some 
such a book, but was not quite sure of 
the name and upon her invitation I call-
ed the evening of the same day and of 
course had no trouble in disposing of the 
book to her husband. 
Since closing my work in Waynesboro, 
I have frequently sold copies of the book 
to ministers simply leaving it for their 
examination. Any one who will not allow 
their prejudices to rule them will fall 
in love with "Christ's Object Lessons." 
Why not give the book a chance to gain 
a reputation for itself. It will do it if it 
is placed in the hands of the people. 
Who will have a part in this good work? 
Who desires to gain such an experience 
in this good work, that will leave pleas-
ant memories in the line of their Chris-
tian experience? I expect soon to send 
some letters for publication from those 
in eastern Pennsylvania who have had 
some real good experiences in this work.

From Mexico, Brother G. M. Brown 
writes: "We have two new families of 
Sabbath-keepers in San Louis Potosi. 
The men are tin-smiths and they say 
they posted a sign with letters five inches 
high, "No work done on Saturday." It 
is encouraging to see the interest spring-
ing up in different places, and to read 
the letters that are constantly coming in 
to the office.

Salida. 
Sabbath, May 20, was a good day for 
the church at this place. Two more 
precious souls, a man and his wife, were 
added to our number by baptism. Others 
are keeping the Sabbath and will unite 
with us soon. 
Wm. Kennedy. 
Canon City. 
Yesterday was a grand day for us here 
in Canon. Four precious souls united 
with the church, three by baptism and 
one by former baptism. Next Sabbath 
we have baptism at Florence. There 
are six candidates there. Will report 
particulars after next Sabbath. 
W. H. Granger. 
Albuquerque. 
We are doing what we can to get the 
truth before the people of this city. Mr. 
Proctor has been distributing considerable 
literature especially among the business 
men, such as hold forth Religious Liberty 
Principles and he has had good talks 
with some. The Lord is good to us and 
we praise his name for the victories he 
gives us. Our prayers are that we may 
all remain faithful till the Lord's appear-
ing. 
Minnie T. Proctor. 
Fort Morgan. 
We held quarterly meeting the 13th. 
Brother Aufderhar was with us. All 
present seemed to be encouraged and 
felt thankful to the Lord for blessings 
and mercies and expressed a desire to 
press onward. We were sorrowful be-
cause some were absent but prayed that 
the Lord would be with them. 
R. C. Clary. 
Capitol Hill, Denver. 
We have just arrived home from Wash-
ington. The conference there has prov-
ed a great blessing to all who were pres-
ent. It will undoubtedly give a new im-
petus to the work throughout the world. 
We are now preparing to pitch a tent 
on the hill. This is a hard field, but we 
know that God has many people here 
that will receive the message when it is 
brought to them. Pray earnestly that 
God may bless the work in this great city. 
S. F. Svenssen. 
Denver. 
The interest in our Bible and mission-
ary work in Denver was never better 
than now. Good substantial souls are 
taking hold of the truth right along. 
Sabbath, May 13, three adults were bap-
tized and the Sunday night following 
were received into the church. Others 
are soon to follow. 
G. W. Anglebarger. 
Hygiene. 
At the suggestion of Brother Meade 
McGuire our Sabbath-school resolved to 
have a temperance exercise some Sab-
bath in May in connection with the Sab-
bath-school. A committee was appointed, 
speakers were selected, songs practiced, 
recitations learned and readings chosen. 
The result was that we had a good and 
profitable temperance meeting on Sab-
bath, May 13. The house was full, all 
the exercises were good, but what is 
more through, the blessings of God, 
the old time temperance spirit was 
revived among our people and nearly all 
our young folks signed the pledge. 
J. W. Innis. 
Las Vegas, N. M. 
We have organized .a missionary 
society here and pray God to strengthen 
us and give us wisdom as we go forth to 
sow the precious seeds of truth. The 
children seem to be moved by the mis-
sionary spirit and desire to unite with 
us in working for the Master. I am of 
good courage, and though the work seems 
to move slowly I feel that the Lord is 
blessing me as I endeavor to tell of his 
love and goodness to poor mortals. I am 
so glad I have enlisted under the banner 
of Prince Immanuel. It is my desire to 
ever stand at my post of duty, to be clad 
in the whole armor of God, to faithfully 
fight the battle of life, and win the crown. 
Pray for the work in this needy field. 
Lida B. Moore. 
Raton, N. M. 
I write to you tonight to tell you some 
of my experiences in the cause of truth. 
A neighbor and his wife have covenanted 
to keep the commandments of God. He 
was a very profane man, used tobacco, 
etc. He came to the shop the other day 
and said "Mr. Cassell, my wife and I had 
a battle last night after you left, which 
lasted until after midnight; and as a re-
sult we have made up our minds to live 
a better life." We had another good 
talk together and when he left he gave 
me two dollars to be used in the cause. 
Later he gave me a dollar and thirty 
cents more, saying that they had decided 
to give the Lord a tenth of all. Thus 
you see, the Lord has given me two souls 
as a result of my effort and my imprison-
ment, and there are fourteen others who 
are deeply interested. Pray for the ad-
vance of the work here, and especially 
for this man and his wife who have 
stepped out to obey the truth. 
E. K. Cassall. 
Canon City and Florence. 
I am glad to report progress in the 
work here. Sabbath, May 20, was a good 
day at Canon; four precious souls being 
received into the church, three by bap-
tism, and one on former baptism. The 
spirit of the Lord was manifestly present 
and all were made to rejoice in God, 
their Saviour. Last Sabbath, we also en-
joyed the privilege of baptizing one dear 
soul at Florence and next Sabbath sev-
eral will be taken into church fellowship. 
A number of others were.expecting to be 
baptized at Florence, but were prevented 
by sickness. Beside these there are 
about eight others who are keeping the 
Sabbath who we believe will soon be 
ready for baptism. A good interest is 
being aroused by our literature, and we 
are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our 
tent outfit with which to begin our public 
effort. The outlook for a large harvest 
of souls here this season is very encour-
aging. 
W. H. Granger. 
Grand Junction. 
In order that we might be closer to all 
parts of the Western Slope District, Mrs. 
Spring and I have moved to this place. 
Before leaving Glenwood Springs one 
lady with whom we had studied the Bible 
was received into full membership, hav-
ing accepted all points of present truth. 
Her husband who also studied with us, 
will we believe, soon take his stand for 
the blessed truth. 
We are now holding meetings in the 
Fruitvale school house near this place. 
The attendance is good and the attention 
is all that could be asked. We have 
hopes of leading several into the pre-
cious light so dear to us all. We are also 
holding readings with some interested 
ones here in town. 
The work throughout the district is 
moving along nicely. The school at 
Palisades closed its first year's work 
May 19. God has blessed that work 
ECHOES FROM THE FIELD. 
under the efficient labors of Prof. and 
Mrs. B. A. Wolcott. 
The Aspen church greatly enjoyed the 
recent week's labor which Edder Ziegler 
gave them. A fuller report of his visit 
there will doubtless appear in ECHOES, 
from his own pen. We hope so at least. 
We very much appreciate the action 
of the conference committee in asking 
Elder Kennedy to labor on this side of 
the range. We anticipate his co-opera-
tion with pleasure. Pray for the work 
and workers over here. 
Pacific Press Bulletin, 
TAKOMA PARK EDITION. 
We had our publication day yesterday. 
There was a general feeling that the 
meeting Was a successful one. In con-
nection with the Secretary's report a 
large number of brethren from foreign 
fields, such as Shaw from India, Brown 
from Mexico, Sisley from England, 
Haysman from West Indies and Ander-
son from China, took three minutes each 
in telling of the progress of the publish-
ing work in their fields. 
At the close some instances showing 
the direct results of the book work were 
given by various ones in the congrega-
tion. There were no long speeches made 
but a great many short ones. The Secre-
tary's report showed that the book sales 
for the past two years have been $787,-
528.42. Other unreported sales will un-
doubtedly bring it up to nearly one mil-
lion dollars. 
Brother E. W. Farnsworth gave a 
splendid talk on our publications in the 
hands of the ministry. Brother E. R. 
Palmer took for his subject "Effective 
Tract and Missionary Work." His talk 
was very much appreciated, indeed. 
Among the many good things presented 
was the following: "Our publishing 
work is not a department of the Third 
Angel's Message as our other depart-
ments are, but it is the Third Angel's 
Message in print. It is the means 
by which the departments present their 
work to the people. It is the evangelist 
set in type. It is the ministry put in 
print." A report of his talk will appear 
in the Review, as will also short sketches 
from other speeches made. 
Brother Sisley's remarks were particu-
larly on the sale of publications in Lon-
don. From his reports it appears that 
their Health Journal has a circulation 
equalling the combined circulation of all 
other British health journals put to-
gether. 
Brother Phillipps has written that 
about sixty students have gone from. 
Union College to work in the adjoining 
states in the canvassing work. Brother 
Cochran has gone to Kansas City to be 
ready to assist as many of these as he 
can. 
A recommendation in favor of placing 
the General Conference every four years 
instead of every two years was passed 
after quite a spirited discussion. 
Our "Surprise Party" was a reversal of 
the ordinary plan for receiving money. 
Instead of a call being made for dona-
tions from the stand, the people them-
selves requested the privilege of giving. 
The meeting started at 9:3o and a steady 
stream of money flowed toward the 
treasurer's desk until half an hour after 
time for the meeting to adjourn. It was 
a scene many of us will never forget. 
Surely the Lord is impressing hearts to 
donate of their substance to his work. 
Obituaries. 
Died—Soloma Overholser Lippencott 
was born in North Star, Ohio, October 
18, 1871, and died at Boulder, Colorado 
April 28, 19o5. She leaves a husband, 
seven children and many friends to 
mourn her loss, but we sorrow not even 
as others who have no hope. 
About seven years ago I became ac-
quainted with this dear sister and her 
family, and learned to love and respect 
them much. She and her husband em-
braced the truth for this time some years 
ago at Niwot, Colorado. Her only desire 
to live was that she might care for the 
dear children God had given her and to 
be a more faithful follower of her Mas-
ter. Her last days were days of seeking 
the Lord for forgiveness and a prepara-
tion for the great change. She is safe 
and will soon hear the voice of her King 
calling her forth from her resting place. 
The funeral services were conducted by 
the writer at Niwot. A large concourse 
of friends were present. May God bless 
and keep the children and her sorrow-
ing husband. Text John I1:25. 
G. F. Watson. 
Husted—Lue Ina, wife of G. W. Hus-
ted died at their home in Fort Collins, 
May 9, 1905, at the age of thirty-five 
years. In childhood she united with the 
Seventh-day Adventists church and con-
tinued a faithful member until her death. 
Her life was a beautiful one. She was a 
dutiful daughter, a loving wife, a patient 
mother, an earnest Christian. By her 
death a tender tie is broken, but her 
loved ones are comforted by the many 
promises to the faithful believers. A few 
days previous to her death they buried 
an infant son. A dear little girl is left to 
mourn with her father. Brother and Sis-
ter Abram Jones, parentS of the deceased 
came from Nebraska to attend the fun-
eral. Services were conducted by the 
writer. �
Watson Ziegler. 
Walter—In Rocky Ford of heart failure 
on Monday, May 22, Sister Margaret 
Walter in the fifty-first year of her age. 
Sister Walter had been in poor health 
for the past three years but was not 
thought to be dangerously ill. Her home 
was in Missouri and during a visit in 
state last fall by Sister Oldham who is a 
sister of Mrs. Walter, she accepted the 
third angel's message. On the return of 
Sister Oldham to Rocky Ford, Sister 
Walter accompanied her and at the dedi-
cation of the church in this place April 
16 she was baptized. 
Services were held at the Adventist 
church Monday evening and words of 
comfort were spoken by the writer from 
John 11:25. �Geo. M. Alway. 
Tyler--Mrs. Mollie Tyler, nee Record 
was born near Twin Mound, Kansas. In 
after years she came to Colorado, and 
later was united in marriage to Brother 
Tyler in Crawford, Colorado. 
About eight years ago she was con-
verted and united with the Seventh-day 
Adventist church in Crawford, Colorado: 
she remained a consistent member and 
lived an exemplary christian life to the 
time of her death; dying with a firm hope 
and full assurance of being raised in the 
glad resurrection morn. 
Her death occurred April 25, 1905, in 
Palisades, Colorado. Funeral services 
were conducted by the writer, assisted 
by Prof. B. A. Wolcott, and were at-
tended by a large number of sympathiz- 
ing friends. �
L. A. Spring. 
Place--Julia Chapman was born near 
Durand, Illinois, December 8, 1857 and 
died May 1, 1905 at Boulder, Colorado. 
At the age of fourteen Sister Chapman 
was converted, uniting with the Congre-
gational church. Two years later she 
embraced the views held by the Seventh-
day Adventists, uniting her interests with 
that church. 
Early in life the desire possessed her 
to prepare herself to help others. The_ 
profession of teaching offered opportuni-
ties for the achievement of this purpose. 
In this work she attained remarkable 
success, an earnest of the broader work 
she was to do in later life for suffering 
humanity. She was married in 1887 to 
Dr. 0 G. Place. Uniting heart and soul 
ECHOES FROM THE FIELD. 
with her husband in his work, she 
became a most earnest and devoted 
laborer in the cause of Christ. At the 
bedside of the sick, in the sanitarium and 
mission work, in the church and Sabbath- 
school, as well as in the home, Sister 
Place was ever faithful to duty's call. 
Her faith set at naught personal con- 
venience. No sacrifice was too great for 
her to make; no service for others too 
small for her to render. We believe it 
may be truly said of her: 
"No nobler woman ever lived; 
No truer Christian ever rendered service 
unto her God." 
The funeral service was comducted liy 
Elder G. F. Watson, assisted by other 
ministers of the Colorado Conference. 
A large concourse of people followed the 
remains to their last resting place. As 
we laid her away to rest, we could say 
in the words of Holland: 
"Once more, once more, we shall behold 
her face and clasp her hand; 
Once more—forevermore."

Brother J. F. Pearson, of Pitkin, was

funeral of his father. His wife accom-
panied him. 
Brother Milo D. Warfle writes that four 
more have been added to the church at 
Roswell, two by letter and two on pro-
fession of faith. 
Prof. Newton and a company of stu-
dents came from College View last Mon-

More than twenty students have come 
from College View to Colorado to take 
up the work in various ways. May the 
blessing of God be with them. 
Quite a number have returned from 
the General Conference. Others are 
visiting friends along the way. Elder 
Watson is attending the Iowa camp-
meeting and expects to be in Denver the 
9th inst. 
Brother U. G. Adkins, of Laramie, 
Wyoming, was in Boulder recently for 
treatment at the sanitarium. In running 
to catch a train he fell and seriously in-
jured one of his knees. We hope he will 
soon recover. 
Elder Spring spent a few days in Den-
ver last week endeavoring to arrange for 
the camp-meeting advertising, but met 
with little success, owing to the fact that 
this method of working has been over-
done, and has not proved satisfactory. 
It is none too early to order your Sab-
bath School Quarterlies if you wish them 
on time. Remember your past experi-
ences and order promptly. Send orders 
to the Colorado Tract Society as usual. 
No change has yet been made in the dis-
counts or the mailing. 
In Raratonga the interest among the 
natives is greater than it has been for 
some time. Brother Piper writes that 
the new church building is well filled at 
each service. The native children in 
Sister Gooding's school are making ex-
cellent progress in all lines of work. 
Believing all our people to be readers 
of the Review and thoroughly familiar 
with the workings of the General Con-
ference we will not repeat in ECHOES 
what has appeared in that paper. This 
has been a wonderful meeting and will 
mark a new era in the cause of God. Let 
us go forward with it. 
From all the countries of the world the 
Macedonian cry is sounding, "Come over 
and help us." God has opened fields 
before us, and if human agencies would 
but co-operate with divine agencies 
many souls would be won to the 
truth. But the Lord's people have been 
sleeping over their allotted work, and in 
many places it remains comparatively 
untouched. To the call, "Whom shall I 
send?" There have been few to respond, 
"Here am I, send me." 
It is estimated that there are five mil-
lion natives in India who can speak the 
English language, and year by year the 
number is increasing. In large cities the 
rising generation is fast getting hold of 
it. When we consider the fact that 
there are more young men every year at-
tending colleges in India than in Eng-
land, and thousands are taking their de-
grees every year, some idea can be 
gained of the rapidity of the introduc-
tion of western education. Is not this 
an evidence that God is opening the door 
for the entrance of his word in this land? 
And can we not see him going out before 
us, and hear in the wide diffusion of 
English education in India the voice of 
God saying, "Now, just now" is the time 
to take hold in earnest in the east." 
Come along, then, comrades in the home 
land. Delay no longer. 
From The Signs of the Times. 
To assist those taking advantage of the 
excellent opportunity offered by' Prof. 
G. W. Rine's series of articles in the 
"Signs of the Times" to bring to the at-
tention of their friends and neighbors 
the true meaning of the conditions in the 
world today, we are printing an extra 
number of the issues containing the first 
article. This will enable us to begin 
subscriptions with first number, if re-
quested. 
The general title is "Foretokens of our 
Lord's Return." The first article ap-
peared in the issue of May 24, and the 
series will continue nearly six months. 
Could there be a more opportune time 
for setting forth these great subjects in 
the Light of Prophecy? If you haven't 
had opportunity to read the first articles, 
you will wish to do so. Note the strik-
ing facts presented in treating "Corrup-
tion in the Political World." These con-
ditions are discussed in many journals, 
and possibly some looks upon them with 
but passing interest, yet many are led to 
inquire "What do these things mean?"
