Northern Missouri and Kansas Tent.

By J. H. Rogers; J. R. Long

After our excellent camp-meeting had closed, and the brethren and sisters dispersed to their respective homes, Bro. Long and I remained on the ground alone over night, taking down and packing the tent preparatory to shipping. Bro. Sharp, with his team, carried us to Pleasanton, where we took the cars for this place, and arrived the 4th inst. Secured lumber for seating the tent, which came the 6th. Got out appointments and commenced meetings the same evening, with about sixty persons out, who had only a few hours’ notice. Our congregations have increased at each meeting, until last evening the tent was well filled.

This is a place of some twelve hundred inhabitants, on the Pacific R. R. The people are inquiring, and seem to manifest quite an interest to hear. The way has opened favorably so far.

We earnestly desire to move in the counsel of God, to go forward in his strength, doing what we can in his cause. We especially request the prayers of all who have an interest in this work. J. H. Rogers, J. R. Long. Lee’s Summit, Mo., June 9, 1873.
