The age wants heroes—heroes who shall dare To struggle in the solid ranks of truth, To clutch the monster, error, by the thttat; To bear opinion to a loftier seat; To blot the errot of oppression out, And lead a universal freedom in." Harvest Ingathering Campaign The above heading suggests tjiree shirts, od.,eacit _of. these. three are of great importance. Beginning with the third word "Campaign." That sugcests work, a work in which everyone who wishes to have a part in the first or sec- ond must be personally engaged." The thought "Ingathering,"—gather in,—is cheering thought, as also is the word "Harvest." In this "Campaign" everyone, old, young, educated and uneducated may have a part. The work is the Lord's. The plans which have been suggested by the General ,Conference, as outlined in the leaflets, make it easy for all to do something. Make out your order for the number of copies you can use, and get well ac- quainted with the contents of the fifty or more subjects in the paper. After feed- ing on it yourself, think of your neigh- bors and friends' w-lro may be as hungry and who would enjoy this truth equally as well. Then your neighbor will want his neighbor to know about it, hence is willing to give an offering to, assist in this good work. How beautiful the plan! How sure the success! How cheering in the time of harvest! What a loss to him who does not take a part in this soul saving work! No one can afford not to spend some time during the last two days of October and the first two of November to get the truth into the hands of the people, and in return get of their wealth for the LOrd's treasury. May the Lord put into the hearts of His people the spirit that has a mind to work. Everyone can say, "I am doing a great work * * * * wny should the work cease while I leave it." H A. AUFDERHAR. "We Must_ Keep in Our. Ranks All the Means of Which We Can Gain ' Control" Thus Satan counsels his angels. He says more: "The more means the fol- lowers of Christ devote to His service, the more will they injure our kingdom by getting .our subjects."' "Control the money matters if you can,.-and drive their [Seventh-day Adventists] ministers to want and distreis. This will weaken their courage and zeal. Battle eve,y inch of ground." When it comes to money matters the fallen angel, Lucifer, is at home. He is an adept as a covetous financier. In this counsel he gave his angels,. it is made clear that he understands there is a close connection between "money matters" and the winning of souls for Christ. By keeping in his "control" all the money possible, he keeps the third -angel's message away from those he fully understands would he saved by it if they had the opportunity to hear it. 'He purposes they shall not have the opportunity, by making it impossible for messengers who might give it being sent out with it. All this becomes intensely interesting when we come up to the place where we are to go out among the people to gather money from them with which to. Sind messengers to the people in distant lands whom Satan holds bound 16 his snares. That he will fight "evety fnch of ground" we mtist qx.pect.' That he Will try to make us not want to goiat all, is very probable. But let us look the thing squarely in the face and count every Such suggestion as coming directly from God's enemy and set our hearti resoltitely toward going out with the Harttest Ingathering Si,kns, believing ing means for Him. There are rich men and women who could give a thousand dollars, five: bun- dred dollars, and less large sums. a feW who could give even much more than a thousand dollars and not miss.it. God needs this money to do. His work. Satan wants to keep it working for him. His aim is to not let it out of his coffers. He counts it out of his hands when it gets into ours—into the treasury of the third angel's message. Through faith and prayer to our God we can divert thousands of dollars this autumn into God's treasury where it be- longs, for the purpose of saving souls. Shall we do it?. We have from now until October 3o to pray about it, prepare for it by getting in hand a supply of papers especially prepared for this very thing, and then go out among the people to solicit their help. . It any reader of this paper has not al- ready prepared fos this good work, he can still join in it by ordering a good supply of Harvest Ingathering Signs of his tract society secretary, and he ready to do his part when the time comes. T. E. BowEN. ECHOES FROM THE FIELD.' Conference Committee Proceedings Since the camp meeting the Confer- ence Committee have held several. meet, ings stn-dying the needs of the Confer- ence-at large. With our limited corps of laborers we find it impossible at the present time to answer all the calls for ministerial labor 'and Bible woxk. We have tried to do the hest we could under the circumstances in the distribution of the workers, and feel sure that our brethren will pray for the workers as they take up their work in the various parts of the conference After careful consideration the following recommen- dations were voted by the Committee: Elder J. S. Rouse to act as chaplain of the Boulder Sanitarium, and 'pastor of the Boulder church, , Elder H. M. J. Richards to make Capitol Hill his field of labor, acting as pastor of the Capitol Hill church. Elder G. M. Alway to make Denver his field of labor, and act as pastor of the West. Denver church. Elder G, W. Angleharger to locate in Pueblo, and make it and the Arkansas Valley his field of lahor. Elder H. A. Aufderhar to continue the oversight of the German work in the conference, assisted by Brother P. P. G lede. Brother Roy Hay to take up his resi- dence at Monte Vista, and make the San Luis Valley his field of labor. Brothel-I-I. 13. McConnell to continue his labors in Victor and Cripple Creek. Elder W. I). Emery to assist Brother McConnell in a series of meetings, and then hold himself in readiness to an- •-•t swer special calls from over the confer- ence. Elder M. A. Altman to make Fort Col- lins his headquarters, and answer calls in the northern part of the conference. For the present, however, Brother Alt- twin will remain in Colorado Springs, as the work there demands his attention, so this recommendation will be delayed, and other arrangements will be made for the northern part of the conference. It was arranged that Elder Aufderhar and Brother W. H. Cox hold a a series of meetings in the vicinity of Calhan. Brother P. P. Gaede to go to the Brush district and labor for the present. Alice Finch to continue her labors in Pueblo. Mary Doan to continue her work in connection with the West Denver church. Bessie Sufficool to make Colorado Springs her field of labor. G. M, ALWAY, Secretary. Denver Many residents of the city, especially those living near Rocky Mountain Lake Park, who attended our good camp- meeting and became very much inter- ested in the truth, r xpressed a desire to hear further. The conference commit- tee felt that it would be wise to follow up this interest. So, in harmony with this request, we erected a large tt nt near the Park at the corner of Irving St. and West 44th Ave.,. and have been con- ducting services each night for two weeks. We are glad to report an ex- cellent interest and good attendance. Last. Sunday night our large tent was filled. We praise God for the desire He has given the people to hear. We are hoping for fruits of our labors. We know that our people throughout the conference will he glad to hear of the work here and what God is doing. Pray for the people and for uS, that He may use us to His glory. H. M. J. RICHARDS, G. W. ANGLEBARGER, ROY E. HAY. Sept. 24, 1911. Victor We:came home from our good ramp- meeting with a determination to do bet- ter work for God titan, ever before. We are told in Jeremiah 29:13 "And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart." That was the desire of our hearts. There had been some things in the Victor church which had hindered the work of God—differences that should not exist. So we called an afternoon meeting. No one hut our own people was there. We read Volume VI, page 4z, first paragraph. It sa,s: "The Spirit can never be pours d out while variances and bitterness toward one another are cherished by the members of the church. Envy, jealousy, evil surmising and evil- speaking are of Satan, and they effectu- ally bar the way against the Holy Spirit's working." Second paragraph: "The words are ringing in my ears, 'Draw to- gether, Draw togetht r.' " Page 43, middle paragraph: "All these God bids us remove. He says, 'Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed.' James 5:i6." We did this and the dear Lord came near in,mighty power, and there was not a dry.eye in the house. He says "He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us teem all orrrighteenE- ness." t John t:9. liWe followed the in- structions. Some fillet tind differenct s of long standing coellessed and came to- gether. in love. Our hearts weret made glad to see these things for which we have labored and prayed. We a' planning to have a series of meeting and we felt, that be- fore we commence them we must get right before God, and then we could ex- pect the Lord ter wotk for us. We ask to be *membered at tile throne of pace that the work will soon be finished and that the dear Lord may come and take us home. 14. B. MCCONNELL. Windsor Soon after cam meeting I went to Windsor to take up'i the work again. I held meetings at the home of Brother G. Meyer. Brother Henry Kaiser came to me last Friday returning and said, "Brother Gaede, I hinve no rest in try soul. I will keep Snhhath with you. I want to he baptized tomorrow." So we went to Loveland, land Brother Kaiser was baptized last $abbath by Brother Renz. We also helid quarterly meetly g with the Loveland iCerreysn church., It was a great blessing for all. Another family at Windsor is much interested. We hOpe they will soon take their stand. the man and his son went with us to LosieIand, and enjoyed the Sabbath services. The boy almost decided to go to °Or school at Clinton. Pray for the German work at Windsor. At the present tittle I am holding some meetings near La Sidle with our Wentz church. -At this piece the outside pea- pre show some interest to hear. Last Sundaystight the cl4urch was filled. We will have meeting again tomorrow night. The good work of God is moving on among the Germanl3rethren and sisters. P. P. GAEDE. Sept. 19, 1911. The. Canvassing. Work The canvassing Work is moving along fairly well again, The camp-meeting made a break in the work, but we are glad that most of the canvassers could come and enjoy the rneeting. When the Saviour was here nn earth, He called the disciples apart to rest awhile. We believe that a rest it needful in this busy world today. Brother Andersott has finished his de- livery and will teke up work with ECHOES FROM THE FIELD. Practical.Guide in-the southern part of the state. Brother. Gann is planning to continue his canvassing work at Trinidad. Work is picking up in that section of the state, and we believe Brother Gann will be able to sow many seeds of truth. Last week Brother Davy, of. Boulder, and I had the privilege 'of spending a few days in the field together. We had some good experiences, and found many who were searching for truth. We had a long, talk with a well-to-do farmer about the Sabbath. He didn't know that lie was keeping the first day, and that the Sabbath had been changed. He promised us he would study the subject, and wanted some reading on the Sab- bath question. � • Dear. brethren, I believe there are many people here in Colorado in this same condition. Shall we be willing to let them go-on in this same way, or shall we talse time to carry the truth to them? I believe that each is willing to do his part in this closing work. May the Lord help us to take hold of this work as never before, and see that each family in this conference will soon have read- ing matter on this last message. C. B. SUTTON. Good Reasoning When one of our lady agents pre- sented a copy of the Signs of the Times magazine to a policeman in San Fran- cisco a few days ago, he replied: "I am one of the pope's Irish, and am not going to pay you to talk about me.. You know the Catholic Church is put here on e trth to enforce the law of God, just as policemen are hired to enforce •the laws of cities." "Yes," said the agent, "but the police- man's business is to enforce the laws of the city, is it not? What would you think of a policeman who would make laws of his own, contrary to the laws of the city, and enforce them? Would he be a good policeman?" "No," he replied, "he ought to he put off his job." "Well, now," continued she, "you know, as you are a well-informed Cath- olic, that the Catholic Church have tried to change the law of God, and enforce their own in its stead, and by your own reasoning, they ought to be put off the job." He saw the point immediately, and said, "All right, lady, I will just take your magazine, and .I shall read it, too." W. D. FLEMING. How to Sueceed The following hints are given by the General Conference Missionary Voluteer Department: "The Scripture says, 'Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do with thy might.' We should strive to succeed in all that we undertake. Great principles lie hid- den in very small duties. Here are a few guide-posts that point out the path to success for Missionary Volunteer Reading Course members: "r. Enroll. Send your name, with address, to your conference Missionary Volunteer secretary. If you do not have your secretary's address, send to the Missionary Volunteer Department, at Taltoma Park Station, Washington, I). C., and it will be forwarded to the proper person. "2. Send for the books used in the course. 'If you can not buy all at one time, buy them in the order they come in the course. Be sure to have them on time. "3. Arrange to have the use of the Instructor every week. "4. -Plan to devote fifteen or twenty minutes to your ;Reading Course hook eueoy day Ofte-o___ � cpare mono-nts are lost for lack of definite planning.. John Quincy Adams, we are told, never closed his eyes in sleep until his work for the next day had been outlined. "5. Keep-your book in a place--where occasional glimpses Will remind you of your resolution. "6. Should you fail to do your daily readings, make it up at once. Be de- termined that you will keep up and not lag, behind. � • "7. When the written test questions. appear in the instructor; answer them promptly; and send your answers to your conference Missionary Volunteer secretary. Although yon may use your book in answering the questions, the written work is of great value to you. 'Reading maketh a full man, writing an exact one.' We should possess both qualifications. -"Do these seven things, and you will be entitled to a Reading Course certifi- cate next spring, and more than that you will have sown in the soil of your life, seeds that are bound to yield good fruit." Our Pioneer The Signs of Me Times weekly is our pioneer missionary paper. As such, it has now developed a strong method in the giving of the Message,—that of pre- senting every six months, irr series of twenty-five numbers. the great three- fold Gospel Message. It n. now the aim of the publishers to cover the various phases of the. Message in- each of these series, but present the truths in a differ- ent, new, and beautiful setting each time. Our people should watch these series and see that the names of their relatives, friends, or any it, whom they are inter- ested are sent in so that they will com- mence with the first number of the series. These series provide a practical.effec- tive, attractive and economical means of presenting Present Truth, and results are seen everywhere. Special low prices are now made to club subscribers. Five or more papers coming to one address, 6oc each. The publishers will mail the papers direct front their office to five or more separate names and addresses at 65c each. Single subscriptions yoc for, six months.. - A new series, with studies on the book of Daniel as one of the leading features, and one that is believed will be the best of anyyA.et _puhlishe_do will commence with the issue of Nov. 14, tear, and to each name will also be sent a copy of the Ingathering number of the Signs. You should now be making out your list of names and hand- them to your mission- ary secretary or send them to your Tract Society. A Suggestion About Missionary Work With the Signs If you are sending the Signs to a friend, relative or some one else, you wish that person to take it from the Post Office, don't you? We receive many cards from Post Masters stating that,papers are refused. By writing to the person named we have found in many instances that the paper was refused because the person has not subscribed for it, and will not take it fearing to receive a bill from the publisher later. So hear this in mind, and be faithful in notifying those to whom you are send- ing the Signs that it is a gift, so they may feel perfectly free to take the paper from the Post Office. A kind note will in many cases make your missionary efforts more effective. SIGNS OF THE TIMES. ECHOES FROM .111 E. FIELD. Echoes from the 'field. Published every two weeks for the Colorado S. U. A.

NOTICE Next' Sabbath, October 7, is the day set apart by the General Conference for the annual offering for the benefit of the colored people in the South. Brother and Sister Spell, members of the Canon :City church, have recently moved to Denver. Eider Spicer called at the office re- cently while on his way to the ministerial institute at. Walla Walla. We are just in receipt of a subscrip- tion for the ECHOES from Otto Johnson formerly of Boulder. He is now located at Dundee, Oregon. Miss Elva Green has just sent us a renewal to the ECHOES from Oakland, Cal. She writes that she always enjoys getting the paper, and does not wish to have it discontinued, as its visits remind her of home. Brother W. J. Huffman, the Central Union Conference auditor, passed through Denver Sunday on his way to Boulder and Campion. He. will audit the Sanitarium and Academy hooks, also th ise of the conference while in the state. Elder Kite spent last Sabbath with the church at Colorado Springs. They have commenced the excavation for their new building, and hope soon to have the basement finished so that they may hold their meetings there. When completed, they will have a very neat structure in a good location. Brother and Sister Carmichael and Sister Wade of Monte Vista, have re- cently moved to Delta. Brother Ooster- bons and wife plan to move there soon. This leaves the company at Monte Vista rather small now, but we believe that others may be found at that place who will take their stand for the truth. We still have a number of unpaid pledges for the Campion Equipment Fund. The Academy is very much in need of this money. Those who pledged will remember that the money was to he sent in within thirty days, A number responded to the notice which we printed in our last issue. We trust the remain- der will hasten the amount of their pledges to us. We have just received an interesting and encouraging letter from Mrs. M. L. Lawry of Newton, Kansas, who lived some time at Boulder. She writes of her good courage in the work. In an- swer to earnest prayer, and as a result of Bible readings which she and others have conducted in the church at Newton, a man and his family have taken •their stand for the truth. We are glad to re- ceive these good messages from those who have been in our conference. We are always glad to have them renew for the EcnoEs, as Sister Lawry did, and to learn that they enjoy receiving our pa- per as it comes to them. We notice in the Southwestern Union Record the report of the New Mexico Conference session. Elder Hoover was re-elected president and W. A. Miller secretary and treasurer. Brother Roy Benton was ordained at the meeting. Other familiar names to the Colorado people are those of Brother Burt Bray and Brother and Sister Frank Weeks. Three churches were admitted into the conference, and the new year has begun With good prospects. The report shows that their tithe receipts amounted to $4,144.23, and their Mission Offerings were $1,401.56. We are glad to See the good report from this portion of the field which at one time was a part of our conference. We learn from the South Missouri Messenger, which has just reached us, that Elder J. Z. Walker of that confer- ence has gone to the Foreign Mission Seminary at Washington, preparatory to work in a foreign field. Elder Walker will he remembered as one of our work- ers, leaving this conference about three years ago. 'Phe same paper also tells of a suc cessful series of meetings which are be= ing conducted at Cole Camp by Elders Mackintosh and Schroeder, with the as- Canvassers' sistance of Brothel' Richert. Elder Mackintosh and Brotiher Richert are al- so former Colorado workers; Brother Richert having taug14 the German school at Hygiene. Straws "Straws tell the Way the wind blows. 31,624 orders for Idgathering Reviews to Sept. 30, 19to. 414,719 orders for Ingathering Signs In Sept. 27, Iglu. Orders arriving in a; regular avalanche. One secretary. say � 'The people are taking hold of this work with more in- terest this year than at any previous time. Some predicted that we would not have the interest this year on ac- count of the drouih, but it seems to work in the opposite way,' Other encourag- ing words from all parts of the field 'in- dicate that there is an unusually good interest in the camPaign. Let us keep the interest on the increase." Such is the interesting news that Comes to us front the Pacific PreSs at Mountain View. 'These indications point to an enthusiestic campaign with the Missions Signs this coming year. And we are sure ghat our people in Colorado will want dieir full part in the good work. At the present time ii is impossible to get an' comparisow.beivveen the orders which 'We are receiving this year and the orders which we received for the Mis- sions Review last year.. We notice that the orders last year came to us a little later than those thi$ year. We have al- ready sent to the publishers orders for 3,539 papers. Our ;1first order last year called for 2,228. But our second order last year, which was sent but a very few days later, called for 3,coo more. We notice in comparing the orders re- ceived from differeet churches last year, together with the. orders which have been received so fm- for this campaign, that they will run about the same; if anything, a little less. Some are de- cidedly more. There is yet sufficient time to order your papers and have them reach you in good time for the campaign. Report for Three Weeks Ending September 29, 1911.
