Kansas Believer Longs for Fellowship and Ministry
By J. L. Adams
Bro. J. L. Adams writes from Washington Co., Kansas: We have always been favored with great religious privileges, having enjoyed all the meetings and Sabbath-school privileges of the Pilot Grove church, in Iowa. But now, we are away from these, in this new country. I found one of my nieces keeping the Sabbath. She had lived at our house some five years ago, then came to Kansas and commenced to keep the Sabbath by herself; and when I found the REVIEW with her, and we could talk of the truth to each other, it was a feast indeed. We have kind friends all around; but I miss the society of my good brethren. I now wish that I had had a more yielding disposition with my brethren. I need the grace of God to help me, and my family, to so live that we may not dishonor the cause of God and bring his truth into reproach before those here. I think this is a good place for a minister. My neighbors begin to be aroused on the Sabbath, and immortality questions, from our new religion as they call it, and the tracts we have scattered. They say they must have their minister preach on both of these questions. How we wish that some of our brethren who are able to defend the truth could be here at that time.
