WHEREAS, Bro. E. Philips, having spent much of his time preaching, without fee, or reward, needs pecuniary support; and WHEREAS, Bro. Crocker is about to visit the East; therefore, _Resolved_, That we commend Bro. Crocker as worthy to receive contributions made on behalf of Bro. Philips. _Resolved_, That we will encourage and, so far as we have ability, sustain by our prayers and means those who labor for us in word and doctrine. _Resolved_, That we are in favor of Sunday-schools and Bible classes, and that we will use our influence to sustain social meetings in all our churches. _Resolved_, That when we adjourn, we adjourn to meet at Prairie City, on Wednesday before the second Lord's day in September, 1861. _Resolved_, That the thanks of this Convention be tendered to the brethren of Big Springs for their kindness and liberality during the sessions of this Convention. On motion, the Convention adjourned to the time and place appointed. C. W. MOCK, Chairman. W. O. FERGUSON, Secretary. The convention in its results was full of encouragement and joy. Insignificant as had been our beginning two years before, here were twenty churches and more than one thousand members ready to cooperate together and plant the cause in this infant Territory. This meeting also introduced us to many new acquaintances. Eld. S. G. Brown, of Emporia, had been diligently employed planting churches along the Neosho River from Emporia to Leroy. Bro. Ephraim Philips, at Leroy, also at that time became known to us. Bro. Philips, after some years, returned to Pennsylvania, and there went into the oil business with his brother; the brothers were successful, and afterwards distinguished themselves by a generous and Christian liberality. Bro. Crocker also, before his death, had won a large place in the hearts of his brethren. Elder Wm, Gans, at that time of Lanesfield, but afterwards of Olathe, will long be remembered with earnest affection; and it was at this time that he became known to us.
