GREENWOOD CO., KAN.

By Smith Sharp

A short time before we closed our meeting at Eureka last spring, having a few days of spare time, I went to a school-house some ten miles away from Eureka and held a few meetings, but, as the weather became very bad, and I could see no special interest, I closed, not expecting that anything had been accomplished. That was in March. I heard nothing of the results until August, when I received word that a few had embraced the Sabbath, and sent a petition signed by thirty-three of their neighbors requesting more meetings.

I came back three weeks ago and commenced a course of lectures. I am now through the prophecies and the Sabbath question. Several are convinced and acknowledge the truth, but whether any more will obey or not remains to be seen. Last Sabbath and Sunday I was with the Eureka church. It was a profitable meeting. Several arose for prayers for the first time. It has been very difficult to do anything during the excitement of the close of the political campaign. SMITH SHARP.
