WARFLE.
Dear Jesus, we want Thee close by us tonight:
Oh wonderful Saviour. we'd be Thy delights
We long to live near Thee all days of Thy life:
Oh save us, deA'r Jesus, from all sinful strife.
When we, to our slumber, with confidence go,
Protect us, dear Master, from all that brings
woe;
And if on the morrow, we rise with the sun,
Oh give us Thy strength that God's work be well
done.
Oh help us, dear Jesus, from day unto day,
Forever to follow the true and right way;
Consistently living the Truth for our time.
That all of our loved ones may know it's sublime.
Dear Master, we thank Thee for promises sure,
That we may believe them and thus be made
pure.
We thank Thee for all things that Thou dost
provide
To save us and keep us close by at thy side.
Dear Jesus, our race on this earth may soon end ;
Perhaps we'll be sleeping when Thou shalt descend;
If not, we'll be living and watching Thee come:
Oh may we be ready to go with Thee home.

FIELD REPORTS.
Longmont.
A most successful and satisfactory
school year has just closed for the
church school at Longmont, taught by
Mrs. Emma Voris of Boulder.
An interesting missionary program
was given at its- close, which was enjoyed by a large audience.
The daughters of Brother and Sister
T. J. Nicks graduated, and the president of the city schools, after some
appropriate and interesting remarks,
presented the diploma.
The church was beautifully decorated
and the exercises showed careful forethought and preparation. This is as it
should be, for we should always do our
best in the service of God.
ONE PRESENT.
Among the Churches.
It has been my privilege, since coming to Colorado, to visit several
churches. I spoke twice to the West
Denver church, May 15, by invitation
of Brother Emery, and all seemed to
enjoy our study. In the forenoon the
subject was, "What We Will Need
Most Between This and the End." In
the afternoon the subject was, "Living
Experiences." Hearts were touched
and the Lord came very near. The
brethren in Denver seem to be willing
to do anything they can to spread -the
message.
May 22, I was with the Boulder
church. Brother Kite kindly gave me
the forenoon hour and I found the
church there in hearty sympathy with
the missionary work. The meeting was
of mutual benefit to us all, and it was
good to be there on account of the
'Lord's presence with us. We secured
two canvassers here and others will take
up the work later on.
May 29, I spent with the Pueblo
church. Brother Alway invited me to
occupy the forenoon hour. The Holy
Spirit made Its presence felt in this
meeting and other meetings -that we
held while there. In a praise meeting
that followed, there was a reconsecration of hearts to God for service in His
work. The Lord has said,•• ,ny people
shall be willing in the day of power."
I can truthfully say I have found it so
in the places I have visited. May the
Lord give us the true missionary spirit
that He had, that our hearts may be
moved with compassion when we see
the multitude.
F. L. LIMMERICK.
ECHOES FROM THE FIELD
Echoes from the Firing Line.
Our Motto: 40 Hours a Week, or Better.
Brethren Rentfro and Bowles are doing a good work over in the San Luis
Valley. This is a sparsely settled country, yet one of them took $70.00 worth
of orders in one week. They say they
are having some precious experiences.
Sister Hochschorner is working in
Loveland and is doing quite well. Sister Hochschorner made three scholarships two years ago in Colorado. Last
year she worked in Missouri. We consider ourselves very fortunate, indeed,
to have her with us again this year.
Sister Edna Bronson, of Pueblo, will
join Sister Hochschorner in Loveland in
a few days. They are working with
Daniel and Revelation.
Sister Hazel Harvey will work in
Pueblo with Home and Health. We
are expecting some good reports from
her in the near future.
The firing line workers will be glad
to know that Brother Allred, from Kansas, has arrived in the state and has
commenced work at Holly, Colorado.
Brother Allred's sales averaged last
year $16.00 a day. He is a deeply consecrated, hard worqer, and will make a
valuable addition to our working force
in the book work.
Brother Ivor Carroll is working near
Denver. Although his success is not
what he had hoped for, he is digging
in as though he meant business.

reached us just in time to be used in

A Conference Workers' meeting will

Last week we shipped a box of 200

advocating and living it. Only about
ten days before his death the writer
had the privilege of talking with him
of the situation in the far east, the
deceased remarking that the-dissolution
of earthly kingdoms was near at hand
and the bringing of the home for which
we are all looking.
The funeral service was conducted in
the Union church of Nunn, and words
of comfort spoken from Rev. 14:13.
WATSON ZIEGLER.
Elder \kr. F. Kennedy, president of
the Western Colorado Conference, made
the office a pleasant call last Wednesday on his return from General Conference. He was the first of the Colorado
delegates to reach Denver on his way
home.
We have received 1,000 of the Sabbath school lessons for next quarter.
Please order early. Unless cash is sent
with the order, we much prefer all
orders to come through the church librarian. That saves opening a separate
account on our books.
Teachers' Summer School.
We are sure the report of missionary
work for the first quarter of this year
is only a small part of the missionary
work done by our brethren and sisters
during that time. Let us make up a
more complete report for the quarter
ending June 30. We shall hope for a
good report of work done by our isolated members, too.
"You will never come to the knowledge of the truth until you practice
what you know. God will never teach
you a second lesson until you have
acted on the first. It is not the hearer
of the word, but the doer of the word
who is blessed. A truth is never really
our own till we hav 'incorporated it in
practice. Men become hardened if they
are hearers only, but one tiny act which
embodies the last lesson is as a ring in
the trunk of a forest tree."
F. B. MEYER.
Obituary.
Died, at his home near Nunn, Colorado, Edmund Allen Whipple, age 62
years. He, with his family, were establishing a home on new land where he
had worked very hard. Evidently overexertion caused him to contract a cold
which teriminated in pneumonia, causing his death May 23, 1909. Brother
Whipple was born in Maine. In early
life he was converted and united with
the Methodist church. Hearing the
present truth, he recognized the voice
of the Lord, and for 35 years has shown
his faith in that message by constantly
It has been thought best to advise
our church teachers to attend the Summer School at Union College tnis year,
instead of conducting one in Colorado.
This school will begin July 7 and continue six weeks, or until August 17.
We expect to pay the expenses of those
attending, who teach in the Conference
the coming summer. The Northern
Union teachers are to unite again in
this Summer School, and plans are made
for a good one.
Will all those desiring to attend, or
wanting to teach, please correspond
with me at once. Address me at Loveland, Colorado.
