Are Doing Throughout the State.

Lawrence. After the celebration
in the city on the 22nd, we stopped
at Chanute one evening. Home was
reached on the 26th.
On the 1st, we preached the funer-
al of Mrs. Airs.
Too much care cannot be exercised
in the call of pastors.
Rev. Contee is away attending le-
gal business in Memphis.
Rev. J. w. Browder, Of Denver, is

souri, meets with Francis st. church,

We never met a better, we'll tenn
pered audience than at Shiloh. Some
good man can do we'll with this peo-
pie, they are warm hearted, liberal
and easily led.
Rev. Wallace, of Holly Grove
church, is proceeding nicely with his
people. In less than year he has
completed and paid for his new
church, which is worth $500.
Girard on the End. We met an
old friend Rev. J. c.. Stewart, the
pastor, he is doing we'll and is as
pious as ever. The church is spirit
ually alive and is contemplating vast
improvement in the near future. Sis
ter Stewart is a grand woman.
Yale is reached on Wednesday.
This is the mining centre, 500 Ala
bamians camp here. They are as
excellently drilled Baptists as we
ever met. Fifteen received by hap
tism and twenty-five by letter. Rev.
Howlette is moving things right to
the front, they march at his COM
mand. We want to visit them again
soon. Bro. H. Williams will ham
die the WORLD for us here.
We left Saturday for Shiloh
church, Ft. Scott. On arriving there
we learned that that church was still
without a pastor. Many sons of God
or somebody else, have been court
ing this widow, they come out of
every ally and street in search of the
diamond in the cloth. It is expect
ed that some one of them will be
covered with honor ere the week is
ended.
The citizens of old "Athensn are
moving along as nicely as ever, fl
nancially and spiritually. We were
panied to hear that Rev. Ayers of
the First church, had announced his
resignation so soon. His church de-
clares he is doing most wonderful
work, having raised more money for
the new building than any of his
predecessors, for given time, We
hope he will reconsider his intentions
and remain with his people,
Baxter Springs on Friday evening.
Rev. L. S. Auther is pastor, he has
peculiar cadencies to Materia Medica
and many patients praise him for
his home-spun remedies. Mt. Olive
is regaining strength spiritually and
financially. She has emerged from
a sleepy state and is doing practical
work. The Baxter people are relig-
iously enough inclined, but they need
radical indoctrination. Auther is
sometimes up and then down. Sound
Baptist preachers are needed through
out the state.
