Meetings at Farlinville, Kansas
By J. H. COOK
I am now holding meetings at Farlinville, Kansas, where Bro. Matteson labored last spring for seven or eight weeks. A merchant of this place has been keeping the Sabbath about one month, closes his store on Sabbath, and opens it on Sunday. He meets with great opposition, but appears decided and firm in his love for the commandments. Some of his neighbors give him six months to be forced to close out his business. The people here are yet interested to hear on present truth, and there are probably twenty-five or thirty advocates of the Sabbath here who are strong friends of the Adventists. We hope others will commence with them to keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus, before we leave. I remained there eight days, and gave nine lectures. Organized a Bible-class, and left three more keeping the Sabbath. The prospects in this place I think are good. Many more are convinced, and those who have taken hold, are men of good report, who will exercise a gathering influence. A pressing invitation was given me to commence a course of lectures in an adjoining neighborhood as soon as I closed at Farlinville. But I was compelled by business at home to decline for the present. J. H. COOK.
