GEORGE O. STATES

By George O. States

Colorado

FROM November 10 to December 17 I visited churches and isolated members in the Colorado Conference. Some of the lonely ones whom I visited had not had a minister in their homes for fifteen years, and others told me that they had never had a visit from one of our ministers since they first accepted the truth.

At Gunnison, a young man gave himself to the service of God. Two were added to our church at Cañon City.

My labors were of a practical nature, and intended to revive the advent message in the hearts of our people. I labored with this thought: “In order to keep pace with the message, every family should have our church paper.” I secured twenty-five subscriptions for the REVIEW, two for The Signs, and eight for other periodicals. Over fifty dollars tithe was paid in. While thus laboring, I felt much of God’s presence.
