COLORADO

By J. O. Corliss

Boulder and Denver.—Meetings in the tent at Boulder closed Aug. 2. Although remaining there five weeks, very little was accomplished beyond preparing the brethren and sisters for organization. Some, however, embraced the truth, and halting ones were strengthened. Matters were in rather a complicated condition until the arrival of Bro. and Sr. White the last week of the meetings. As usual, their labors were earnest and untiring, and resulted in great good to the cause.

Sabbath, Aug. 2, nine were baptized, and a church of twenty-six members organized. An elder and deacon were chosen and ordained. Others will come into the organization soon. A good Sabbath-school of forty members was also organized, and the proper officers chosen. Union and harmony seemed to prevail in all the proceedings.

On the whole, we think the time was profitably spent with the tent in Boulder.

The tent is now pitched in Denver, a city of 35,000 inhabitants, and the capital of the State. Meetings commenced Aug. 8, with an attendance of over two hundred. Up to date (Aug. 11), four discourses have been given, and last evening fully five hundred were present, and gave the best of attention. Present prospects seem good, and our hearts are encouraged to press on in the work of God.
