COLORADO

By Miles E. Cornell

Longmont, June 11.—We began meetings in the tent at this place May 22, and up to the present time twenty-six discourses have been given. The number in attendance has increased from twenty-five to one hundred and fifty, with an average of about seventy-five regular interested hearers. Six or more have already decided to keep the Sabbath. A Methodist minister and his wife are of the number. Their testimony in our Sabbath meeting was truly rejoicing to our hearts.
The interest has greatly increased since the arrival of Eld. J. O. Corliss, June 1. His discourses have been well received by all classes. Our offer of the tent for the defense of Sunday-keeping has been accepted by a popular Dunkard preacher, and a new interest will no doubt be awakened. The liberality of the friends has fully met our running tent expenses thus far.
Judging from present appearances, we shall not leave here before the first of July. We now expect to pitch the tent in Denver City; and as our expenses will be considerable, we invite all the scattered friends in the State to help us, as they are able, by both their means and prayers.
