Report From Kansas

By C. MC REYNOLDS

SINCE our large camp-meeting at Newton, closing September 6, fifteen have been brought into the truth, and united with the church, while five others are observing the Sabbath, and it is hoped will soon unite with us.
A church of fifteen has been organized at Ft. Scott, and seven or eight others have united since the organization. Seven have united with the company at Great Bend, and are rejoicing in new-found truth. Five have been recently added to the church at Miltonvale by baptism. Three or four were added to the church at Columbus by baptism. Two united with the Ozawkie church, and others are seeking the Lord and his truth. Four have accepted the truth at Herington, and the German church there has been much revived. Three were recently added to the Wichita church by baptism. Some are just accepting the message in Salina, and the interest is good at several points in the State where our workers are now conducting meetings.
In a number of our churches special efforts have been made recently in behalf of the ten-cent-a-week plan of offerings for mission work. This is proving a real blessing to the churches; and we are glad to know that the number of churches adopting this plan is increasing. We trust the good work will continue till every church is found placing in the mission fund each week a sum equal to ten cents for every resident member, and all isolated ones sending in their contributions.
The canvassing work is moving encouragingly. Some faithful canvassing evangelists are meeting with the best of success. The outlook for a large attendance at our coming institute for canvassers is very encouraging; let every minister and Bible worker see how many he can induce to attend.
The missionary campaign is awakening many to life; more than twenty thousand copies of the special Signs have been sold already, and orders are coming in rapidly. Some are combining the sale of books and the distribution of tracts with the Signs, and are working to secure subscriptions for the paper, while selling the special issue. Let all take hold earnestly in this effort.
C. MC REYNOLDS, President.
