Elivon, Kansas.

By Daniel T. Bourdeau

I CLOSED up my labors at Elivon last night, just four weeks after reaching the place. A church of twenty-two members was organized, and an elder was ordained. Two others were received as candidates for baptism.
Last Sabbath was a good day. Notwithstanding the unusually cold weather, seven were baptized. Bro. Cook remarked, "Just nine years ago yesterday occurred the first baptism in Kansas by Seventh-day Adventists." Hundreds have since been baptized in this noble field.
Bro. Enoch remains to teach some to read the Bible in French. He expects one of the new converts will soon help him in another field. Two of the French brethren purpose spending one year at our college, to prepare for the ministry. Others should follow their example. D. T. BOURDEAU.
