KANSAS

By Smith Sharp

I have been laboring in Osage and Shawnee Counties for the past six weeks, meeting each Sabbath during the time with the Richland church. I have not succeeded in raising any general outside interest; however, two families have taken their stand with us on the truth. Last Sabbath after an invitation was given seventeen came forward for the prayers of the church, the majority of them for the first time.
On Sunday seven of these were baptized and united with the Richland church. I confidently expect that several more will soon follow. On Monday night we had our parting meeting. Bro. Miller was ordained deacon of the church and the ordinances were celebrated.
Oh! how blessed it is to meet and labor with a church where all is harmony. If all our churches will live in union, they can cast an influence that will gather with Christ. SMITH SHARP.
