KANSAS

By J. N. Ayers

Lazette, Cowley Co., July 10.

HAVE been here two weeks. Five have taken hold of the truth, and signed the covenant. Have been reviewed on the Sabbath and kingdom questions. I answered the review on the Sabbath question Monday evening, before a crowded house. The Lord vindicated his truth. I was then challenged, before the congregation, by a Campbellite minister, for a discussion on the Sabbath and kingdom. The people voted for the discussion on the Sabbath, but not on the kingdom. Arrangements were then made before the audience for the discussion, and it will commence to-night, the Lord willing, and will last four days.

Writing from Garnett, July 18, Eld. Ayers adds:—

The discussion at Lazette is over. The Lord vindicated his truth. Three more signed the covenant, making eight in all.

We arranged for Sabbath meetings, and organized a Bible-class with eleven members. Have hopes of several others. The interest should have been followed up, as several were deeply interested; but my health failed, and I had to bring the meetings to a close. I am now at home, where I expect to remain through the warm weather. Can Bro. Stevens attend the Rice and Barton county meetings? I am in hopes my health will improve, so I shall be able to labor again this fall, but the Lord's will be done. Pray for me.
