Kansas

DOWNS.—For over twenty-five years, I have been actively engaged in the promulgation of this last message of warning. The rays of light of the third angel’s message, which began to shine over sixty years ago, have pierced through the darkness into nearly every nation on the globe. Surely the message has gone with leaps and bounds, and we can rejoice and take courage to see that all things foretell the restitution of all things, even in this present generation. I praise God for his matchless love, and for the privilege of having a humble part in his vineyard.

I have now spent over one year in Kansas, and the Lord has greatly blessed my efforts in this field. A number are rejoicing in the light of present truth as the result of the efforts put forth.

A few months ago we began to agitate the advisability of establishing an academy for the western part of the State. One brother gave forty acres of valuable land. We circulated a subscription paper among the business men of Downs, Portis, and Osborne, and they contributed sixteen hundred dollars to the enterprise. We gave out the contract for a building 40 x 40 feet, three stories high, including the basement, for five thousand dollars. The building was dedicated Nov. 12, 1910. A good school is now in progress, with an enrolment of between forty and fifty students. The Lord is blessing, and the spiritual atmosphere of the school is excellent. The cause in all its different departments is onward in the West Kansas Conference. We are all of good courage, and praise the Lord for the truth.
