KANSAS

By Geo. H. Smith

Salem, Jewell Co.—Our meetings at Porter’s Ranch, Smith Co., closed Feb. 7. The congregations were good to the last. I was several times challenged for a discussion; and the propositions were at last drawn up and signed by myself and a Baptist preacher. But my Baptist friend failed to make his appearance until three days after the discussion was to have begun, and then only to lock the house against me. I obtained a private house for Sabbath meetings. Eleven have signed the covenant; six of these were keeping the Sabbath when I came here. We expect others to join them soon. The 14th, a Sabbath-school was organized, with twenty-eight members.

I am obliged to go to work at my trade now for awhile, but shall try to meet with these dear ones every Sabbath for some time. I have sold books and tracts to the value of $4.47, and obtained three subscribers for our periodicals and a club of Instructors.

May the Lord bless the message.
