Excerpt from The Church at Home and Abroad, 1892, Vol. 12: Published Monthly On Wednesday, May 11, a train of cars, one of which was filled with ministers, elders and women on their way to Port land, left St. Louis, westward bound. About seven o'clock the next morning, we crossed the Missouri into Kansas City, where we were to have three hours to see the sights of that sightly city beside its name-sake, separated from it only by the invisible state line between Missouri and Kansas. Thus what is naturally one city, already great and rapidly growing, is municipally two because it lies in two states. Let the two vie with each other in the strife of our times for more whole some municipal government, and let the churches provoke each other to wholesome emulation in city evangelization.
