CALDWELL, SUMNER CO., KANSAS.
By John H. Cook
APRIL 1 to 25 I labored in this vicinity. A few had been keeping the Sabbath here for some time, and had awakened quite an interest, especially on the Sabbath question. As the result of our effort, ten embraced the truth. A church of fifteen members was organized, also a Sabbath-school of about twenty members. They take a club of ten Instructors; and four copies of the Review, three of the Signs, and one of Good Health, were subscribed for. Sunday, the 25th, seven were baptized. Our meetings closed in the evening, with the celebration of the ordinances. Both of these meetings were seasons of deep interest. A solemn spirit of conviction appeared to rest on the congregation, and the people of God enjoyed a large measure of his blessing. We were loth to leave that part of the country. Two other places were pressing in their invitations for preaching in their neighborhoods, where the prospect appeared good to have raised up other churches with a comparatively small amount of labor; but labor among the churches called me on. May the Lord of the harvest send more laborers into the fields which are already ripe for the harvest. J. H. Cook.
