The Kansas Worker from Topeka, Kansas • 4

KANSAS WORKER TOPEKA, OCTOBER 12, 1910 Terms: 35 cents a year, in advance Entered as second class matter May 19, 1904 at the post office at Topeka, Kansas, under the Act of Congress of March 3, 1879. spend a few days in Topeka. While there I spoke twice to the church, and had the privilege of planting two dear souls with their Lord by baptism, mother and her daughter. Since returning from camp meeting, I have spent the time among the churches in the North District of the West Kansas Conference in the interest of the Hill Agricultural Academy. The Lord has blessed the efforts put forth in soliciting for money with which to put up buildings on the school farm.

We have received in cash and pledges nearly 000 in the North District alone. The Lord has surely blessed in putting into the hearts of our good brethren and sisters a spirit of liberality in giving so freely of the means intrusted to them, to aid in pushing forward so worthy an enterprise. And we hope that none who have contributed towards the school will ever have reasons to regret the means thus spent. We hope to soon have a building 40x40, three stories, including the basement, completed ready to begin the school the first of November, 1910. God grant that from this school fathers and mothers of the dear youth may see many of their children go forth equipped to enter the Master's service to help send far and wide the glorious proclamation of the soon advent of our blessed Lord to this earth to take His people home to those beautiful mansions he is now preparing in his Father's house.

Sunday, September 18, I spent with the tent company at Hoxie, which comis composed of H. R. Godfrey, W. pany L. Nott and wife, and Sister Alice Wammack.

They were having quite a good interest, and a fair attendance, notwithstanding the fact that the Methodists were carrying on a protracted meeting at the same tirne. September 24 I was with the Glen Elder church holding the quarterly meeting. The Lord came near by His Holy Spirit, and hearts were made tender by its influence. Oct. 1 and 2 I spent with the Bird City church in quarterly meeting.

enjoyed an excellent meeting. Six were received into the church on profession of faith, and four were baptized. Sunday night the Methodists dismissed their ser- KANSAS WORKER vices and all came over to our church, including the minister. We are all of good courage out here, and are determined by God's help to push forward by faith until the work is finished, and we are privileged to hear from the lips of our dear Lord the blessed words "Well Done." To this end let us all pray and work. M.

G. HUFFMAN. CANVASSING IN THE WEST KANSAS CONFERENCE I have used every means at my command to secure information concerning the west half of the state. Letters were written county officers, asking a series of questions on crops, population, and other up-to-date information which a canvasser would like to know. Many replies show the counties in a very prosperous condition, and often that a good crop was raised last year, and a still better crop thls year.

High wages are paid the school teachers, three-fourths of the farms are practically free from mortgages, and in many of these western counties there is virgin soil for the canvasser. I am now prepared to furnish anyone who will sell our publications in western Kansas, a complete list of valuable statistics from the very best and latest sources. It. gives a canvasser the knowledge most needed to work a county to the greatest advantage. I am sure that scores of our people in the west could place many books in the homes of their neighbors if they would only make an effort to do so.

One sister from McPherson county wrote me that while having no experience as a canvasser, she desired to do something for the Master, and started out with Practical Guide. The first day she took three orders. Many others could do the same and the Lord desires a hundred such workers where there is one today. The question is, "Will we walk in the line of duty?" H. M.

HIATT. To the KANSAS brethren and sisters, as I leave you, I will remember that we are working for the same grand truth. And. I take this opportunity of thanking you one and all for your christian help, and association in the Gospel. I believe it is the one who neither sleeps nor slumbers, that will draw more workers into the ranks to make up the company, (Ps.

68:11) that the breach may be built up. I will long remember the book work in Kansas. Pray for me in my new field of labor. May the Lord's rich blessings attend the work in the Kansas field as well as in others. I do think the Gospel has encircled the earth, and it is now the filling in of the lights as it were.

Rev. 18:1 and Isa. come to my mind. "Thy light is present tense, Now may this be the experience of each of us in Christ Jesus. I ask the effectual prayers of God's people, that I may be a real blessing to others.

J. D. VINCENT. Trubey--Daniel Trubey, was born in Franklin County, June 7, 1824, and died September 2, 1910, aged 86- years, 2 months and 24 days. He was married to Esther D.

Heath in 1852. To this union were born eight children, six sons and two daughters, all of whom survive, the wife and mother having passed away some years ago. All the children with the exception of one son were in attendance at the funeral. Brother Trubey was a patient sufferer with that insidious disease cancer. He, with his wife, became convinced that the cardinal points of faith as held and taught by Seventhday Adventists were true, but not until 1903 under the preaching of his son, Elder L.

F. Trubey, was he convicted and converted to the truths of the Third Angel's Message. From the time he accepted the truth to the day of his death, he recognized and held to the Seventhday as the only true Bible Sabbath, but for reasons better known to himself he never identified himself with the church. The funeral service was conducted by the writer before a large concourse of relatives and friends. Words of comfort were based on 2 Sam.

14:14. We can but believe that a good impression was made upon the minds and hearts of the people as we showed that the resurrection is God's means which He has devised by which his banished shall not forever be expelled from Him. HUFFMAN..
