Colorado Tent.

By M. E. Cornell

Our tent-meeting in Georgetown has closed. The nights became so cold we could not make the tent comfortable with two stoves. The altitude is so great here (about 9,000 feet) that we have had frost, snow, and ice. Many of our interested hearers took cold, and dare not come out any more. Several have decided to keep the Sabbath, and arrangements are made for three meetings a week. A first-day Adventist preacher and a Methodist preacher have taken their stand for the whole truth. The latter has taken a full supply of books, with the determination to prepare himself to defend the truth. He is an acceptable speaker, just in the prime of life. We trust the Lord can fit him to show others the truth that has rejoiced his own heart.

Brother White and his company were here over one Sabbath and first-day, and his three discourses, together with the singing, added much to the interest of the meeting.

Our tent is shipped to Boulder, and, if the weather permit, will be pitched at Longmont, down on the plains. Till further notice, our address will be Boulder City, Colorado.
