Western Colorado. Camp-Meeting

By N. W. Kauble

THE Western Colorado camp-meeting was held at Grand Junction, September 14-24. The camp was conveniently located in a beautiful park on the streetcar line. The attendance of our people was fair, the weather was favorable, and the city showed much courtesy in the endeavor to make things pleasant and comfortable for us.

The laborers from outside the conference were Elders E. T. Russell, G. A. Irwin, Meade MacGuire, E. A. Curtis, and Dr. H. A. Green.

The reports rendered showed progress in the various departments of the work. The conference voted to harmonize with the recommendation and counsel of the General Conference relative to the sending of a part of the tithe to foreign missions. By unanimous vote the conference assumed the management of the Western Slope Academy, and will take steps to place it on a better working basis. Elder E. A. Curtis was elected president of the conference, and a few changes were made in the minor offices.

The last Sabbath of the meeting was attended by the power of God, and marked by earnest supplications for unconverted friends and relatives. The general feeling was that the meeting was a blessed one throughout. Personally, it was a pleasant opportunity for renewing acquaintances, and recalling memories of many good meetings enjoyed in this State years ago.

The Western Colorado Conference has a small membership, but it has great resources, and in the course of time should become a strong financial aid in extending the work abroad.

It is safe to say that all who were present left the camp with earnest prayers and hopes for the prosperity of the work during the coming year. N. W. KAUBLE.
