COLORADO

By M. E. Cornell; A. O. Burrill

St. Vrain and Ft. Collins.— Our meetings at St. Vrain closed Oct. 22, and a church of thirteen was formed and a leader appointed. Seven were baptized. All were pleased with the tithing system, which was adopted. Books were sold to the value of $29.20, and something was done for our periodicals. They have begun to give a synopsis of the lesson in the Sabbath-school, and are much pleased with it.

We commenced meetings in Ft. Collins the 24th, in the Grangers' hall, of which we have the free use. There is a good prospect of some success. This town has about one thousand inhabitants, and is a grand center for a large farming community. Everybody is anxious to get rich, and therefore we find it more difficult to get a hearing here than in the East.

M. E. CORNELL.
