The Executive Committee Of the
Colorado s. :. Association find it n"ccs-
sary to announce the postponement of
the proposed New Mexico S. 5. Con-
ventlou, which was to have been held
at Santa Fe On April 2rd, TO all indeti.
nate date. 1t is found that the meet
ing of the Santa Fe Presbytery ON
April 3rd, will demand all the facili-
ties Santa Fe can offer in the way Of en-
tertainment of lis members in Christian
homes, in consideration of which il is
deemed best TO defer the meeting o.
toe s. S. Convention. 1t is hoped
however, to arrange for such meet
ing at Santa Fe Or some ether point
in New Mexico at reasonably early
date.
