MISSIONARY GLEANINGS.
What The Pastors And Their Churches
Are Doing Throughout the State.

Rev. P. A. Delano, Arkansas City:
is an interesting church man. Some
church would do we'll to call him.
Rev. S. Bates, St. Louis, is touring
the state. Elder Bates is splendid
preacher and pastor. We trust he will
locate in our state.
Thepastor ofa successful church must
be educated, honest and wise. This is
the greatest age Of the worlds history.
Kansas needs good men.
We found the Second Baptist church
at Wellington composed Of but three
members. Their church property is
worth eight hundred dollars. Only
three female members. This is the only
female church in the state. They have
no pastor at present. We preached to
large congregation composed mostly
of Methodists and unbelievers. Mes.
danes g. HI. Robinson, Levitt Strange
and Jessie Brewer are the noble WON.
en- have so earnestly contended for the
faith that was once delivered to the
saints. Their husbands, though sim
ners, arr equally interested in the Bap-
tist cause.
Caldwell is a city of 1000 people.
There are only twenty-five colored fam
lilies here. Most of them came i'll this
Syring. A Baptist church was organ
lied here five weeks ago. Rev. G. A.
Mccoy, formerly of Winfield is pastor
with membership Of thirteen. They
are putting in the foundation at this
writing for church edificc that is to
cost about $40O.
Rev. I. n. Merrifeld, son of Rev.
A. S. Merrifield of Ottawa, contribu-
ted an unusually large sum of money
and other effects to the Second Baptist
church at Arkansas City before taking
leave for South America. He has; a
large heart, and we trust other white
Baptist ministers will emulats his ex-
ample.
Rev. HI. w. Scott, Of Cherryvale,
has been extended call to the Mount
Zion church at Parsons.
It is said that the Second church, EN-
poria is contemplating calling Rev. F.
Bates as pastor. We are certain that
such move would be more than COM
plimentary to all concerned.
Rumor has it that the difference be-
tween the B street church, Mort Topeka
and the second church at Junction City,
will be ajusted at an early date. Elder
Dudley is diplomatist. AS Missionary,
Dndley is leaving no stone unturned to
effect the desired reconciliation be-
tween the two above named churches.
The General Association of Missouri,
convenes with Francis street church, ST..
Joseph, October liza. The Kansas
Baptist brethren are cordially invited to
attend. Remember they will help us.
Re. G.. w. Howlctto, of Yale, con-
Quoted a very ferverent meeting at Ga
lena week before last week. Mission
ary Pielc &C was present and rendered
efficient service.
1t is said that there is a scramble for
the Shiloh church pulpit at Fort Scott,
there being many aspirants for its pas
torate. The more judcious brethren
should see to it that wise and capable
leader a man whose moral and intel.
lectual abilities arc assurances of pros
peritv and success whose elevation to
place and power is a guarantee OF a
brilliant future and spotless admins
tration. What is true of Shiloh church
ought to be true lessons for other chur-
ches without pastors.
CofeyviIle is one of the livelist cities
in the State. The colored population
is of the Southern extract, both i'll thrift
and character, but, among them are men
and wemen ofpush and pride. Several
business enterprises among them reflect
credit upon the race. Mr.. Driver, OF
s'The Blackman" is driving the seperate
school question to focus. The fight is
laudible one, and ought to commend
him as an extraordinary race man.
The Baptists are walking over every
thing. Elder N. c. Robinson is pastor
of % preachers and one hundred mem
bers.
We are glad to herald the news that
the difficulties which have been exist
ing fef some time in the churches al
Hutchinson, will not be allowed to pro
