NOBLE, RICE CO., KANSAS.
By R. F. Barton
The cause of truth is onward here, for which we praise the Lord. Eld. J. M. Rees, of Indiana, has lately been with us, and spoke several times, which gave a new impetus to the work. It is the earnest desire of many in this part of Kansas that Bro. Rees make this State his future field of labor. Bro. and Sr. Enoch also spent a few days here, rendering efficient aid. Three more families, for whom we had long been anxious, are keeping the Sabbath of the Lord. Yesterday eight were buried with Christ in baptism, and a church of thirteen members was organized, and a leader, clerk, and treasurer were chosen. In the evening we had a precious season attending to the ordinances of the Lord's house, all the church taking part for the first time. Several from the Sterling church were with us. Brethren, pray for me and the work here.
