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