Kansas.

By J. H. Cook

COMMENCING Dec. 21, 1871, I gave thirteen lectures in Centerville, and organized a Tract Society.

Jan. 6, commenced meetings five miles from Ft. Scott. There was no church organization in the place. Dancing was the favorite amusement of the people, some engaging in it for profit, the rest for pleasure. After the meeting had progressed for a time, an effort was made to stop the interest by appointing a dance; but only four tickets could be sold. The next move was to lock the house. I have promised them a grove meeting if the house cannot be had after the election of the new district board in March next. Two have already embraced the Sabbath, and three more join to sustain Sabbath meetings. I am now having good and apparently unprejudiced congregations in Labette. J. H. COOK.
