THE COLORADO TENT.

By James White

Elder Canright and the writer have visited the Colorado tent now pitched at Boulder City, a city of three or four thousand inhabitants. The tent is pitched on the public square in the center of the city. The congregation the evening of the second numbered about one hundred, who gave the best of attention to the word spoken by Elder Cornell.

Bro. I. A. Olmstead has now joined him as tent master and missionary laborer. His experience in the latter in the State of Michigan will doubtless make him of great service at this meeting.

Elder Canright has received a letter from a sister in Georgetown, Colorado, in which she states that there are three who observe the Sabbath of the fourth commandment in that place. She speaks of a meeting of twelve who were all united in inviting a preacher to come to that place with the tent. If not convenient to bring the tent, a meeting-house could be obtained for a course of lectures. She also stated that doors were open for the entertainment of the one or the ones the Lord might send.

This is a most encouraging feature of the work in this new field, and gives assurance that Colorado may soon be ranked among those States where we have prosperous Conferences.
