Cherokee, Crawford Co., May 1.

APRIL 25 to 29, I held meetings with the brethren seven miles north-east of this place. Here we had a temporary organization of ten members. We have now made a permanent organization. Seven were baptized and the same number added to the church. An elder was elected and ordained, and a secretary and treasurer appointed. They take the name of the Amity church of S. D. Adventists. Their post-office is Cherokee, Crawford Co., Kan. J. H. Cook.

Richland and Palermo.

I was at Richland, Apr. 9-19. Some trials of a serious nature prevented us from accomplishing as much as otherwise would have been done, still I trust some good was done. Several came forward for prayers, some for the first time. Their new meeting-house is about ready for dedication. It will comfortably seat two hundred and fifty persons, and is a credit to the church.
April 19-29, I was with the church at Palermo. Some had taken a stand for the truth since I was there in the winter, and three were baptized the next day after our meetings commenced. Before they closed three more were baptized, making six additions to the church; all were adults but one. SMITH SHARP.
