WE are glad to know that the labors of Elder Corliss in the new State of Colorado last season were blessed of God, to the conversion of a goodly number, and the establishing of the work there generally. His health is improved, and in all probability he will be able to take that field again the first of April next with a fellow-laborer. Just who will labor with him, is not yet fully decided.

There are several brethren who have labored year after year in a bilious climate until they are sinking in health. We have three in mind, who have been presidents of their Conferences, who should have the benefits of a change to the more healthful climate of Colorado, California or Oregon. One of these will probably labor with Elder Corliss the next tent season.

Colorado is an important field. The opening up of new mines of value is calling thousands to that State, and it will ever be as a great hospital for the sick, to which many thousands will resort annually to improve their health. The friends of the cause in Colorado are coming up nobly in the line of raising means for the support of the cause in that State; and as the General Conference Committee is disposed to furnish them with the very help they need, it will be expected that they will do the very best they can for themselves.

The General Conference furnished the tent which was used during the summers of 1878 and 1879, which has been sold for a good price to meet other expenses in that State. The Conference is in debt, and cannot furnish tents and laborers for new fields from its treasury as in past time.

We therefore recommend that measures be taken at once by brethren in Colorado to raise means for the purchase of a suitable tent, that it may be ready for use when the season for such meetings shall open in that State in the month of May. Such a tent will cost $275, delivered at Denver. All the friends of the cause in Colorado should give something, more or less, according to their ability, for the tent. Pledges and means should be sent to Austin Hamilton, Boulder, Colorado.
