KENTUCKY

By S. Osborn

Elizabethtown.—All who attended our good quarterly meeting here pronounced it the best we ever held. The weather was inclement, yet one team came fifty miles, others twenty-five, etc. The Lord seemed to be near from the very commencement. We celebrated the ordinances, held one T. and M. meeting, disfellowshipped one member, and received three members. We also held a Sabbath-school meeting, and took ten copies of the weekly Instructor. A subscription of $9.55 was raised for the Tabernacle at Battle Creek, of which $5.35 was paid; 45 cents was donated to the Oakland church. The tithing system was adopted. Quite a number of copies of the Signs were taken.

While we were speaking Sunday evening on the subject, “Will it Pay to be a Christian?” a sister was taken very ill. All the hygienic remedies at hand were applied without any good results, and about midnight she requested us to present her case to the Lord. At the close of the season of prayer she remarked, “I am well; the Lord has healed me. It will pay to be a Christian.” She arose, and sat up quite a while. The next morning, when we left, she was well and rejoicing in the Lord. This is the work of the Lord.
