KANSAS.
Rev. and Mrs, J, D, Edgar, of Stafford,
arrived in Quinter Monday n'ght,
September 29, and on Tuesday night
began a series of evangelistic services
which 'continued throughout the
week until Saturday night.
Our communion we observed October
5 under very favorable circumstances,
the weather being nee aud
the icongregation were enabled to
make a large turnout.
On Friday of our preparation, there
were ten baptized, five children and
five adults, the adults being received
into the Church,
Mr, and Mrs, J, H. McElhinney, who
are long past their fourscore years
and have passed their 61st wedding
anniversary, were able to attend the
communion.
We enjoyed Mr, Edgar's preaching
very much. His personal knowledge
of Bible lands and experiences in the
Syrian Mission rendered his sermons
very interesting and we were much
edified by his labors among us.
J, L, Nelson, who is building the
church in Stafford, came home to attend
the Communion.

visit to Greeley, Colorado, last week,
