Elk County, Kansas.

By C. F. Stevens

I returned to my home in Elk Co., after the debate at Rock Creek. I held meetings with the Elk Falls church, trying to settle difficulties which had prevented the prosperity of that church. Bro. Ayers joined me the 23th of November, and went with me to my appointment at Canola the 25th and 26th. We had a good meeting there. Two were added to the church. The Spirit of the Lord was manifestly present as we tried to obey in celebrating the ordinances.

We returned and continued meeting with the Elk Falls church till the 3d of December. With the blessing of God, all the difficulties and trials which had hung over the church here were settled. We all hope to learn valuable lessons by the things we have suffered. I think there are brighter days for the brethren and sisters there if they will walk in the light. The ordinances were celebrated.

Bro. Ayers started home the 3d and I started for Otland the 4th. My address is now Otland, Franklin Co.
