if they be complicated with dilatation, elevation is contraindicated. 

 Many cases of nasal and pharyngeal catarrh do admirably here, and 

 deafness, arising from chronic catarrh of the middle ear, is frequently 

 cured. In general, Colorado will be found to be an admirable resort 

 for enfeebled and debilitated persons who need rest, change of scene, 

 and general " toning up." 



It has become a by- word that there are two classes of persons who 

 come to Colorado — those who come to get health, and those who come 

 for wealth. We think that the former more often realize their antici- 

 pations, and, having found a new interest in life, in consequence of 

 their return to health, they show their appreciation and gratitude by 

 remaining in the air and sunshine that have made " life new around 

 them." How often one hears the expression, "I owe everything to 

 Colorado air," it is impossible to say ; but so large a class of our 

 population have sought and found a restoration of health here, that 

 one can not refrain from carrying the good tidings to the thousands 

 upon thousands in the East who are seeking wherewith they may be 

 cured. 



THE ISTEW THEOLOGY.

ASSUMING that the Being worthy of the highest adoration in 

 heaven and on earth must be incomprehensible, and that his

 destined to have its day. They who have toiled hard and borne the 

 heat and labor of the preceding day and feel the need of rest, and they 

 who dislike the dawn and love to slumber until noon, will be more an- 

 noyed than gratified by the light of this new morning ; but they who 

 are up with the rising sun will be delighted with the dispersing dark- 

 ness and the increasing brightness, and with the new beauties and the 

 fresh fragrance of the clearer light and higher life. 



Thus far in its presentation the New Theology is reformatory 

 rather than revolutionary in its teachings and tendencies. It accepts 

 the nomenclature of the Old, but shades or expands its definitions so 

 as to accord with the subtiler experiences and the enlarged observa- 

 tions of the age ; and it maintains the dogmatic statements of the Old, 

 but modifies their exposition so as to bring them into harmony with 

 the laws and processes of being. It afiirms with the Old that faith is 

 the basis of salvation and of all deliberate activity, but it gives no
