Sedgwick Co.—March 6 to 10, we were with the brethren at Whitewater, Sedgwick county. Their quarterly meeting was held at this time. The church was small and much scattered, yet we trust the meeting was profitable. The outside attendance was good. The brethren in this new field have been almost entirely neglected the past year; but they have pledged the tithe for the coming year, are taking a club of the Signs, and have sent for the library of Sister White’s writings. I returned by way of Elivon, and held one meeting with this young church. They appear to be moving forward in this work as fast as could be expected.

On the 15th, I closed my meetings at Spring Valley for the present. Only one family were added to the believers there as the result of three weeks’ labor. Am now at Empire, where I commenced meetings last night. J. H. Cook.

Centropolis, Feb. 26.—I commenced a series of meetings at a school-house three miles west of Centropolis two weeks ago to-morrow evening. I have spoken several times on the Sabbath-question, and some interest is manifested. Have sold three or four dollars’ worth of books, and distributed several tracts. Several First-day Adventists live in the vicinity. The World’s Crisis and Miles Grant’s book have been extensively circulated among them, and the most of them manifest very bitter opposition. I have hopes that a few will embrace the truth. SMITH SHARP.
