SOUTHERN KANSAS.

By J. H. Cook

I AM making a tour among the churches in the southern part of this State, and I wish the meetings to commence on the evening of the day of my arrival, as indicated in the notice. If the brethren come out, they all know that the preacher has come, and the next day they can notify their neighbors. A great deal depends on giving proper, timely notice of our meetings. Give the appointments as announced, with a warm pressing invitation to come out and hear.

I expect to attend the meetings which I have appointed in person. It may rain, it may snow, it may hail, it may be very cold, it may be very muddy; but I expect to be there on time. Some churches are cultivating a habit of slothfulness in regard to attending meetings. This is very destructive to their spirituality. Several meetings where I have been this winter have been entirely missed in this way. Brethren, this is all wrong with those enjoying ordinary health. As I have before stated, I expect to attend all these meetings; and I earnestly request that all be punctual.
