KENTUCKY

By S. Osborn

Knob Lick, Metcalfe Co., May 23.—Our general quarterly meeting, held at Bro. J. B. Forrest’s, was quite a success. There was a good representation from the different churches. The Sabbath-school was interesting and profitable. On Sunday there were about three hundred outsiders out, most of whom gave good attention to the word spoken. Pledges were taken to the amount of $44, to defray tent expenses. On Sunday evening, after a discourse on Christian temperance, the pledges were circulated, and fourteen signers were obtained. Ten of these were not of our faith; they signed only the anti-tobacco and whisky pledge, but we think this is doing well for Kentucky, where tobacco is in better demand than bread. Money is so scarce on account of failure of crops last year, that we could not do much in the line of selling books or obtaining subscribers for our periodicals. It will be hard times for our people until we raise another crop. S. OSBORN.
