The Kentucky Camp-Meeting.
By A. O. Burrill
This meeting was held October 4–9, near Custer, a small country village about eighteen miles from the Chesapeake, Ohio, and Southwestern Railway. This Conference is young, and of course small. It was not until Friday that Bro. Butler and I reached the encampment. The meeting had been in progress for two days. We were sorry to be obliged to come in at so late a date, for it is quite important to be at the beginning of a meeting to be able to benefit and be benefited. Our preaching, excepting two sermons, was practical, and intended to awaken to a realizing sense of where we are and what we need to do to go through “the perils of the last days.” The attendance from those not of our people was good at all our public services. On Monday ten were baptized in the lake near the encampment, by Elder Osborn. The book sales were quite good, considering how few our people are in this State. A. O. BURRILL.
