Elk Falls and Canola.

We attended quarterly meeting with the church at Elk Falls, March 2 to 4, and were glad to witness a commendable degree of Christian love and fellowship in their midst. The ordinances were celebrated, and S. B. reorganized, amounting to $152. Some that were not present, will raise it to about $175. Most of the members added the one-third of the amount of their S. B. pledge for T. and M. fund. We attended the quarterly meeting at Canola, March 9 to 11. This church was brought out by Bro. Lamont and the writer over two years ago. Here for the last year they have had nothing to interrupt their fellowship and love for each other. Communion season was one of the best that we have enjoyed for the past season. We reorganized S. B. amounting to $53.50. The brethren raised by subscription $12 for one package of the SIGNS, to be paid in installments. J. H. Cook.

Cherokee.

There is a forward movement all along the line here in Kansas. I have been visiting some of the churches, and I find a good state of affairs among them. They are nearly all having Bible-class every Sabbath, and following the Scripture references in their lessons. This posts them upon the different points of our faith. For the past three weeks, I have been assisting Bro. Cook in the vicinity of Cherokee. A Mormon minister of more than ordinary ability tried to destroy our work, and he and Bro. Cook held a discussion on the Sabbath question. The truth stands firm. Yesterday, three more kept their first Sabbath. There are now around Cherokee thirty who are near enough to attend monthly meetings. L. D. Santee.
