MISSOURI

By J. H. Rogers

I WENT to Index, a village in Cass County, the 5th of January, and continued meetings until the 27th ult., excepting about two weeks which I spent with Bro. Long, in closing his labors at the Valley school-house in Johnson Co. As a result, four were baptized, and united with the Lincoln church. Celebrated the ordinances on the evening of Feb. 22. Re-organized S. B., amounting to $164, which will doubtless yet be raised by some who are opposed to pledging yet expect to pay in.

Bro. L. assisted me in closing my meetings at Index. As a result, about twenty are keeping the Sabbath, the most of whom seem quite firm in the truth. The country for miles is stirred, and the people are investigating. Obtained seven subscribers for the REVIEW, four for the SIGNS, one for REFORMER, and two for INSTRUCTOR.

I now return home to attend to matters which claim my attention. To the brethren in this State who have written to me desiring labor, I would say, I shall have to leave the work awhile to look after my temporal and financial affairs, in order to pay my debts. J. H. ROGERS. Hamilton, Mo., March 8, 1875.
