Tennessee

By Stephen N. Haskell

NASHVILLE.—Thinking the readers of the REVIEW may be interested to know of our progress here in Nashville, we give a short report of our work. The interest in the better part of the city is quite encouraging. Several have begun to keep the Sabbath, and many others are interested.

At the close of the school at Graysville, thirteen came to connect with the

mission. These are as fine a class of workers as we have ever had the privilege of instructing. They have come with a determination that they will earn their own way. They have made a good beginning, and the Lord has blessed them. All are of good courage. We are located in the best part of the city.

We expect three tents will be pitched this coming season, and labor put forth for the better class of white people and the better class of colored people. We have already found that there are those among the colored people who are wealthy and educated, as well as among the white people, and we expect a special effort will be put forth to reach this class of colored people. Several blocks of buildings and one of the largest religious publishing houses in Nashville are owned by the colored people. It is officially reported that more Sunday-school literature is sent out from the city of Nashville to different parts of the country than from any other one city in the world.

We ask the prayers of all our brethren and sisters. If those who have one or two dollars to spare will please forward the same to us, it will be faithfully used to carry forward the work in this city.

Address us at 914 Belmont Ave., Nashville, Tenn. S. N. HASKELL.
