Oswego on the Goth.

Rev. N. c. Robinson, Cherry
vale, is pastor here. Peace reigns
in zion Though they have nice
commodious building. there is
strong talk of displacing the old
one and erecting a brick in its
stead. They are sound Baptists.
Chetopha was passed owing to the
fact that no appointment was
made for me.
Parsons is the mecca of that
section of the State. We preach
| ed at Mt. Pleasant on the 28th.
Rev, ID. d. Payne is pastor. He
is now watching his better half
who is now lying i'll. We sympa-
thize with him.
OF to Cherryvale! met moder-
ator Robinson and Rev. Farlweelat
the Santa Fe depot on our arrival.
We moved on to Coffeeville for
Friday evening This is known
as "the city of preachers" Bis
hip Robinson hold forth at
Mocedonia Baptist church.
CoffeevIlle is a coming metropolis
of the Dslton-bandit-fam Fact
ories, elevators and multifarious
number of other enterprises are
springing up as if by magic.
People are pouring in by hundreds.
The negro iswell represented spir-
itufually and financially. We we're
quartered at Mr.. James Thomp-
son the genial treasurer of the
Southeastern association.
Saturday the End find us on the
Missouri Pacific enroute to Ar
kansas City. Here 6ooo strip
runners like an army on dress pa
rade, greeted our eyes. Spiritual
matters are suspended for season.
No pastor here. 1t is fine field
for some good minister of the
gospel who can preach the word"
in deed and in truth.
: Sabbath the a. we ran into
Winfield unsupported, but, within
two hours, we were confronted by
a host of friends. Revivalist Nc
Coy was in excellent spirits. The
was crowded to over flow
ing during the day.
The Spiritual and financial in
terest is much improved. Sept. s
we met Rev. M. L. Copeland the
amiable pastor of the second Bap-
tist church. Mr.. Copeland is an
minister full of push,
of excellent executive tact, no
doubt, his extroardinory powers
will be felt in "the young Chicag."
There are five missionary Baptist
churches in Wichita enough to in
duce the $4,000 people of that city
to turn to Christ in a single year.

Central Association, the North
western, Southeastern, and North
eastern have outdone themselves
this year. Never before has there
been such manifest progress along
all lines Of our denominational
work viz: Missions, Education,
etc. The character of the preach
ing evinced the fact that the boys
are proving themselves workmen
that need not be ashamed.
On the 22ult, we paid our COM
pliments to the Athens" and
mounted the steed for Paola
emonte to Southeastern Kansas.
On our arrived we found the &C
centric, aggressive watkins, the
pastor. had just gone to Topeka.
After three hours so journ, we
were off for Ft. Scott where the
astute and sanity Cole is now the
Shepherd. DR.. Z. c. Cole is a
pleasant, genial pastor of admir-
able qualities. Shiloh church at
Scott will revive, proceed and
progress under his tutorage.
On the e, we pulled in at the
Gulf depot at Galena early in the
morning, were driven to Mrs. !. r.
Smiths where we recreated and
reposed The mount zion church
is beautiful structure 32x 50, we'll
finished, chaired, carpetcd and
lighted with electricity. Unfort-
unately tie management of the
construction of this new building
made positive obligations to the
effect that all debts, small and
great, shall be payable within 90
days and not longer than one year.
Think of it SO members con-
tracing debts amounting more
than $1,000. Rev. w. S. Blake of
Missouri-fame has just been called
to the pastorate. His future is
threatened by reason of these
premature arrangements; how
ever. he is ambitious, a powerful
leader and great evangelical pre-
acher. The people there have
begun to estimate his
value. May God bless him. The
Rev. has taken unto himself an
accomplished young lady to wife,
Miss Tennie Blake Young OF
Mo. She will prove to
be a power behind the throne
May God bless Galena.
Baxter-Springs was reached on

10 Me Pastors Of Babt,st Church.

zoMe Pastors Of Baptist Chuyches:
DEAR BRETHREN-This is new paper:
twice before have we had denomnational en-
terprises, which have long since gone the
way Of all the earth They did well and filed
q long felt necessity while they lived; now,
they are gone Their mistakes were natural,
and therefore, not unlawful Possibly no one
particularly, is to blame for these happenings
|. lhcy have tgiSen us all all~~cxpefience We
profit by them; but laying aside this little
book Of misfortune, is there any reason why
we should not have strong, healthy Baptist
paper in Kansas?
Why is it SO difficult to have mutual under
takings among our associations, among the
Ministers and Deacons' unions, among pas
tors and the Churches themselves? 1t is be-
cause communication is difficult, and at times
it appears to be matter of impossibility 1t
must be remembered that fellowship and
companionship are ordained of God law
Of the devil cannot repeal or make void a
single, solitary law of God; therefore, the
absence Of obedience on our part does not
disestablish the will Of the great Head of the
church and the necessity Of a Baptist paper
in Kansas It is time that during the past
two years, we as Baptists, have done marve-
lous work spiritually and financially; our
missionary reports have been inspiring and
telling, and the entire Baptist family of Io, 900
souls has been drawn together, but, for the
want of journal neither ample publicity nor
impress has been given to our people and
many of them are wandering in the dark
The disgruntled preacher and the lukeworm
laity can roam at will 60 on sowing the seed
Of discord undeiected scattering the doctrines
Of men as 50 many herd Of cattle This must
be stopped cost what it may A little light IN
the dark like grain Of salt in a glass of
water will change the complexion and taste
Of things great deal
Brethren. the paper IS published in the in
terest Of the Baptsts'o Of this state particularly
Will you support it? This is not campaign
digit nor is it the organ Of clique it is the
peoples paper The editor, DR. skinner, is
christian gentleman and a thorough Baptist
Rev p w Barker IS the business manager
and publisher He is well known and needs
no commentator at my hands He is re-
ported to be worth $4,000 He pledges his
money and time to establish a permanent
paper No one shall loose dollars invest
ment
Who will doubt Barker? Business prin-
ciples only will obtain in the operations of
this paper He will from time to time gather
those around him, who like himself desire to
come in and shore its burdens | appeal to
the Young men and old men to assist once
more in landable under taking sn intersest

adopt it as their organ and subscribe at once |
