Kansas Missouri Meetings at Forb's Station
By C. H. Chaffee
I could not join the tent as I expected to when I left the camp-ground. Sickness kept me at home till August 25, when, in company with Bro. M. C. Morgan, I crossed the river into Missouri and came down to Forb’s Station, a point on the Council Bluffs and St. Joseph R. R., twenty miles above St. Joseph. Commenced meetings Sunday, Aug. 31; gave thirteen discourses. Took an expression of the congregation; fifteen voted for the Sabbath, and one (Catholic) for Sunday; seven in all voted to keep the Sabbath. Several more declared their intention to keep it soon. The interest was of the best all through. Sometimes the house was full as could be and many outside looking into the windows. The Lord gave me good freedom all through. All voted for me to return as soon as possible and preach more to them. One minister came and preached three discourses against us on the Sabbath question, which I had good freedom in reviewing. Was invited to preach in three other places; one man wanted me to go to Oregon (county seat), and preach there; one wanted me to go to Forest City, ten miles up the river, but I had to return home and look after the wants of my family. I hope to be able to return to these friends soon. There are plenty of places here in the West where people are starving for truth. The truth looks beautiful to me. May the time hasten when it will swell into the loud cry, and the world be warned of its coming doom. C. H. CHAFFEE.
