TO THE BRETHREN AND SISTERS IN KANSAS.
By Geo. Kennedy
A new year of labor has opened before us. Your ministers are just going out into new fields; and by the help of the Lord and your prayers, we expect to accomplish great things in the Lord’s work this year. You have said to us, Leave your homes, families and friends, and labor in the whitening fields of the Lord’s great harvest. We go, obeying your voice; but we must have your prayers. We can do but little without them. Let them go up as the voice of one man. Come, brethren and sisters, let us humble ourselves in the beginning of our Conference year. Let the hour of seven in the evening be the hour for our prayers to go up together. How it would strengthen and cheer the hearts of God’s servants to know that at that hour, all over our Conference, prayers were being offered in their behalf! “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” May God speed our work during the coming year.
