The Tract Campaign in Kansas
We take the liberty of publishing in full a good letter just received from Elder McReynolds, president of the Kansas Conference. We thank God with all our hearts that this good spirit of earnest labor is spreading through so many of the State conferences. May the good work go on. “Topeka, Kan., Feb. 1, 1903. “Dear Brother: Yours, with copy of the letter written by Brother Underwood to his conference people, is at hand, and I very much appreciate your kindness in sending it to me. I will send you a copy of our last issue of the Kansas Worker, in which you will find that the Spirit of God that stirred up Brother Underwood was at work in some minds here also. “I have not enjoyed a greater blessing in any work for some time than in my effort to arouse our brethren and sisters to take hold of the work of placing these tracts in the hands of the people at once.

Some will take ‘Christ’s Object Lessons,’ and go over the territory, using them for the tracts for free distribution. We are raising a free literature fund from which we supply the tracts to the towns where we have no churches. The conference sends workers to these towns. Some of them are giving their time, having only their expenses paid. We are sending out thousands of tracts every day. The ball is rolling, and we believe that we shall see great results from this movement. “Give us any points that you have in regard to this work; we shall be glad to use them. We shall get some good points from the letter you sent to us. “Your brother in the Lord,
