The Cause in Colorado.

By C. P. Haskell

As THE season for tent labor is nearly or quite closed, we can form some estimate of the summer's work in this State.

There have been but two tents in this Conference the past season. The one in the southern part of the State has been faithfully warning a very rough and hard community, and though the impressions have not been as deep as could be desired, yet books to a considerable amount have been sold and some good souls are keeping the Sabbath as a result of the meetings.

The tent in the northern field was more favorably located, being in a good farming community; and as a result of the labor in this locality, quite a goodly number have embraced the truth. About thirty-five have signed the covenant.

The mission work has been actively carried forward, with but a few laborers however. There are four good souls who are keeping the Sabbath, and many more are interested. The truth has been sent from one end of the United States even to the other by means of those who have come to Colorado for health and pleasure. We have had visitors even from Australia. We know that some of this good seed will find a lodgment and take root and bring forth fruit to God's glory.

One brother who started in the canvassing work but a little over two weeks ago, with no experience, reports about sixty orders for "Marvel of Nations," which we think encouraging for a beginner. Our hearts are encouraged, and we are determined to press the battle more vigorously than ever before. C. P. HASKELL. Denver, Col., October 27, 1886.
