Richland and Jefferson Co.

I spent the time from July 14 to 30 at and near Richland. Twelve were received into the church, nine of them by baptism. The church now numbers fifty-nine, and an interest to hear is still manifested in several places near. Eld. Pardee Butler (Disciple minister) from Atchison has sent an appointment to speak on the Sabbath question at their place of meeting on the third Sabbath in August. By request of the church I have agreed to be present and review him.

I came to Jefferson Co. yesterday to join Bro. Stevens in tent labor, but the railroad riots have delayed our tent.

THE interest continues to increase. We have given nine discourses, and to-night we present the first angel’s message. We are treated with great kindness by the people of this vicinity. They are going to furnish an organ and organist for us. This will add to the interest. Next Sunday we present the Sabbath question, and hope for good results.
