Kansas Sabbath-Keepers Gain Thirty-One at Canola
By J. H. Cook; J. Lamont
We have just closed a series of meetings at Canola, Howard Co., Kansas, where the southern tent was pitched last summer. We leave them now with thirty-one Sabbath-keepers, all heads of families except one, where four months ago there was not one to advocate the cause of God’s down-trodden law. We have just closed a two-days’ meeting, in which the brethren of Canola joined the brethren at Elk Falls, numbering fifty-five Sabbath-keepers besides children. This was the largest gathering of Sabbath-keepers ever held in this part of the country. The meeting was truly encouraging; the Lord came very near in the meetings. The interest at Canola and adjacent localities is still good. Calls come in where there is an apparent interest more than we can respond to. I leave Bro. Lamont here, probably for the winter, to labor as the way may open, while I go to Lafayette and Johnson Counties, Mo.
