Notice for Kansas

By C. McREYNOLDS

A TELEGRAM was sent to the Review Office last week [Received too late for insertion in the last issue.—Ed.] announcing that our conference and tract society office at Topeka had been quarantined on account of smallpox.

The situation is not so serious as first feared. Brother H. E. Meyer has the smallpox, but is not sick, though much broken out. He is quarantined in his home, but is ready for work as soon as it is safe for him to go out. The other laborers in the office worked in a separate room, and for the last two days before the true nature of the disease was discovered, they were not in the office; hence it is hoped that they will not be affected by the exposure.

The office was fumigated well, and we are now in it, and at work. Our paper will be issued regularly, missing only the one issue. My mail, consisting of many letters from the workers in various parts of our field, had been held for a week, awaiting my return to the office, which was unexpectedly delayed; and I was then forbidden to receive it out of the quarantined office, hence a still longer delay in reply to many questions pertaining to the work. We believe, however, that the Lord has directed his own work in each case where he has been made the workers’ Counselor.
