Excerpt from Fifty Years in the Kansas Conference, 1864-1914: A Record of the Origin and Development of the Work of the Evangelical Association in the Territory Covered by the Kansas Conference The founders Of our Conference were great history-makers, but not history - writers. They abounded in service, but took neither time nor interest in recording their deeds, and now, since they have gone to their heavenly reward, we have only a meager record Of their experience in blazing the way through the primi tive forest, or erecting landmarks on the wild prairie, where they traveled and labored. Many times, when brought in touch with some thrilling event in their labors, we are constrained to exclaim: Oh, what a pity that we cannot find out more about this inter esting occurrence.
