Fort Scott, Kansas.

By J. H. Cook

ON the 8th inst. I closed my labors in McPherson county for the present. I organized a church of nine members, to be known as the Empire church. The church bought the library of Sr. White's writings, and sent for a club of Instructors for their Sabbath-school. A tract society was organized; and they pledged to the treasury of the Lord for the ensuing year the tithe of their increase. Four more are keeping the Sabbath in this vicinity, and four more at McPherson Center, about twelve miles away, who should join the Empire church, and probably will soon.
We have encountered the most bitter opposition, especially from ministers; and they dared not make any public opposition only as they resorted to sarcasm and slang. J. H. Cook.
