KENTUCKY.

By S. OSBORN

LOUISVILLE.—Sabbath, December 2, was a day appointed to receive Brother and Sister Shellberg into the church, and to baptize him, Sister Shellberg having been baptized. But about four hours before the time, she passed calmly away.

On the following Monday I spoke words of comfort from Rev. 11:13, to the bereaved friends and to a large concourse of people, who had assembled to pay the last tribute of respect to the deceased. She was buried in Cavehill Cemetery, there to remain a little time until the Life-giver shall come. She was a great sufferer for years, and her one strong desire and prayer was to live to see her husband converted to God; and when she learned that he was converted, she said that her work was now done. She leaves a husband and two children to mourn their loss.

December 9 Brother Shellberg, his niece, and Sister Todd, who was formerly a Catholic, were baptized in the pool in the Christian Church, which had been kindly granted to us for the purpose.

The Lord came near to his people in their meetings in Louisville. Praise his name.
