KANSAS

By J. Lamont

Since I last reported, I have labored as follows: Jan. 28 to Feb. 22, in Jefferson Co., helping those who have recently received the truth to get established in the work. These have already been reported by Bro. Kennedy.

Feb. 23, to March 2, I was at Rantoul and vicinity. Four ministers, of as many denominations, had been here trying to tear down the Sabbath, some of them going so far as to demolish Sunday, in order to strike a harder blow, as they seemed to think, at the Sabbath. Our brethren are firmer, if possible, than before, having seen the weakness of the opposition. Five others signed the covenant. The spirit manifested by the opposition has done a great deal to rivet on the minds of non-professors the fact that we have the truth of God for this time.

March 3–16, at Centerville. The general quarterly meeting the 4th, and 5th, though not as well attended as we desired, was quite interesting, and I trust profitable to nearly all present. As the meeting continued, the outside interest, which was very low at first, began to increase, and was still rising when I came away, having an appointment to begin a series of meetings at a new place. Four were added to the church, and we hope for several others as Bro. Ayers is to continue the meeting. I begin here to-night. J. LAMONT.
