Reports from the Field.

By A. O. Burrill

St. Vrain and Fort Collins, Col.

Our meetings closed in St. Vrain, Oct. 22, and a church of thirteen was formed. Seven were baptized. Bro. Bealer was appointed leader. Already they have begun to give synopsis in their Sabbath-school. All are pleased with the tithing system which was organized. We sold books to the amount of $29.20.

We began meetings in Ft. Collins last eve (24th), in the Granger's Hall, of which we have a free use, with good prospects of some success. This is a village of about 1,000 inhabitants, and in the very finest portion of Colorado. The people here are intoxicated with the idea of getting rich, and we find it hard to get them to think much about the true riches. A. O. Burrill.
