Kansas Camp-meeting.

By James White

WHEN we consented in Ohio to go to Kansas; it was with the express understanding that Bro. Matteson was to remain in Battle Creek. It was necessary that we should consult with him on our return to B. C. But when we returned, he had left. And although Bro. Gage went to Alaiedon to see him before we returned, he did not return to meet us here, to give us much needed information as to the situation of things in the West. What we most needed to know was what, and how many, tents were wanted at that meeting. What is the condition of the old tent used by Brn. Matteson and Lawrence? We concluded not very good. We regret to be left in the dark upon so important matters. But there is no time to be lost. We had not time to call Bro. M. to Battle Creek, or to go where he is. So we decided to take two small tents to Kansas, and have written to Eld. Geo. I. Butler, Winterset, Iowa, to be at Pleasanton, Kansas, in good season with the large Iowa tent, and if necessary, to use the express, and we would meet all expenses.
