To Brethren in Kansas.

By J. Lamont

Dists. Nos. 9, 10, and 13, Kansas Tract Society, attention! Brethren and sisters, have you seen the appointment in this week's paper for your general meeting? Will you be there? Will you bring your children and unconverted friends with you? Shall we have a good meeting, and receive a rich blessing for our own souls? And shall the meeting be a means through which the Lord can bless others?

“And they all with one consent began to make excuses. The first said,” etc. Have you too much land, or too many cattle? Are you the men here spoken of? I think not. When the people had “a mind to work,” the broken-down walls of Jerusalem were soon rebuilt. We must build the wall around God’s precious present truth for these last days. Have we not “a mind to work”? The fall and winter, the best seasons of all the year for our work, are just before us. There is a great work to be done; and it can and will be done, if we, in the strength and wisdom of the Lord, lay hold of it.

We wish this meeting to be first, a profitable season to those who attend. Secondly, we wish to plan the T. and M. work for the fall and winter in these districts. Thirdly, to determine where ministerial labor can be expended with the best prospects of success. J. LAMONT.
