EUREKA, KANSAS.

By Smith Sharp

Since my last report I have been following up the interest at Eureka and holding a few meetings at school-houses near; but as the weather has been very unfavorable, and the streams past fording, much of the time I could do but little.

Bro. Stevens left to go to a new place as soon as we were through our public lectures, and although we had seen but little accomplished we felt that this was an important place, and we would be justifiable in spending more time in trying, if possible, to get a little company of Sabbath-keepers. Ten have commenced to keep the Sabbath since we came. These, with those that were keeping it near here, make sixteen that have signed the covenant, and pledged themselves to sustain meetings and Sabbath-school.

The Disciples kindly granted us the use of their church building for all of our meetings, free of charge, and offer it for Sabbath meetings and at any other time when they are not using it.

We have sold between $15 and $20 worth of books, obtained a few subscribers for the REVIEW and INSTRUCTOR, and left them with a promise to visit them again soon. I feel the deepest interest for the prosperity of the cause. During the past two months I have formed pleasant associations, which I trust may be renewed in the kingdom of God. Others will embrace the truth if those who represent it will do their whole duty and live near to God. Brethren and sisters, be faithful. SMITH SHARP.
