THE RELIEF OF THE SCHOOLS.

By P. T. Magan

Loyal Colorado.

I HAD A very interesting time at the camp-meeting in Colorado. On the closing Sunday, at the morning service the cause of the RELIEF OF THE SCHOOLS was presented. The Lord blessed, and the liberal hearts of the brethren and sisters were stirred. Our brethren gave because they believed it was the Lord’s will that they should; there were men there who were willing to sacrifice for the Master’s sake, and with many the gifts meant great sacrifice. I believe that God and the angels were pleased with the spirit shown, and I earnestly pray that the Master will bless those who have thus publicly witnessed to the heart devotion which they have for his cause.

It is impossible for me to state the exact amount pledged, as many of the gifts were contingent upon the sale of property. Brother J. W. Voris said that he would give half the proceeds of his interest in a mine. Some time ago ten thousand dollars was offered for this mine. In the appended list, I have rated the gift at only fifteen hundred dollars, but Brother Voris said that it would probably amount to a great deal more than this. Brother A. W. Farnsworth’s pledge for five hundred dollars is also contingent on the sale of a mine.

We are thankful to God for these gifts, and trust that the day will soon come when we shall sing the jubilee song of freedom, and be entirely out of debt.
