COLORADO.
PUEBLO.--Rocky Mountain Presbytery at its recent session made it the duty of its Permanent Committee on Missions to visit Pueblo and carefully examine into the condition of our mission in that city. The committee is clothed with executive power. We have at Pueblo a plain brick chapel, neatly papered and finished, with four roomed manse attached. This property is located in South Pueblo, four block from the Union Depot, and one and a half blocks from street care line. The congregation was once fairly prosperous, but through unwise management, the membership has scattered until only about fifteen remain. Pueblo is a manufacturing center, the second city of the State, and an important point to us as a church. The Presbytery has a small fund available for missionary work. Any live, aggressive preacher who, for health or other consideration, is looking Westward, is invited to correspond with the Rev. R. W. Lewis, 2023 Race street, Denver, Col.
