KANSAS

By W. E. Dawson

I HAVE just concluded a short course of lectures at the Speece school-house, twelve miles north of Great Bend. Twenty discourses were given. Prejudice kept many away, but there was a fair attendance of candid listeners. At our closing meeting last night, the house was crowded to its utmost capacity. There were already five Sabbath-keepers in this neighborhood, and five more have thus far decided to obey the truth. A prayer and social meeting was held last Sabbath, in which all took part. Arrangements were made for future meetings and a Bible-class. Many others are fully convinced of the truth, and I hope to see some of them yield to their convictions of duty.

The Congregational minister here warns his flock to root out these dangerous doctrines, and has promised to come to the rescue of first-day sacredness—at some future time. W. E. DAWSON.
