KANSAS

By Smith Sharp

Since camp-meeting I have visited the little companies of Sabbath-keepers at Osage City, Emporia, Otter Creek, and Peru. At Osage City, four were baptized, a church of fourteen members organized, and an elder ordained. At Emporia, there are a few keeping the Sabbath, and they have been keeping up meetings since Bro. Stevens was there last winter. Twelve signed the covenant, and a leader was appointed. Ten copies of the weekly Instructor are now taken for the use of the Sabbath-school. At Otter Creek and Peru they have organizations but recently effected.

At each of these places, the T. & M., S. S., and other interests connected with the cause, were considered, and some advancement was made. At Peru, every member signed the pledge to pay one-tenth of their income for the support of the cause. SMITH SHARP.
