KANSAS T. AND M. INSTITUTE.

By Smith Sharp; B. L. Whitney

We feel a deep anxiety for the success of this Institute, which is appointed to be held at Osawkee, March 19 to April 5, 1880.
In order that the meeting shall be a success, and accomplish the object for which it is appointed, it is absolutely necessary that there should be a representation from all parts of the State. If this fact is not appreciated, and the attendance is not general from all sections, much that otherwise might be gained will be lost.
We are not willing that this Institute shall be a failure, and do not mean that it shall be. We appeal to every church in the State to at once arrange so that they shall be represented at this meeting. The season of the year is not the most favorable for holding such a meeting; but as this is the best we can do under existing circumstances, we must make the greater exertion in order to secure the object in view. As far as possible, each church should send its librarian; but if this is not possible, then send some other member, so that every church may be represented. If these individuals are not able to meet the expense, the church should assist in defraying the expenses; but in some way let every church secure representation.
Every minister and licentiate should be present, and also the directors and secretaries.
We appeal to you, brethren and sisters, to consider this matter, and act at once. There is no time to lose. Let Kansas avoid the mistakes which have been made in some localities, and by securing the attendance of those who ought to be present, reap the greatest possible advantages from this effort to advance the interests of the T. and M. work. Every effort will be made to secure such reduction on the railroads as can be obtained. Let all who are intending to come, correspond at once with Smith Sharp, Ottawa, Kan.
