Kentucky Labors and Prospects for Summer Campaign
By D. T. Bourdeau
MY labors at Locust Grove left me in a worn condition, and I have not felt free to enter another new field since, yet I have given a few lectures on prophecy, in this place, and have here some candid listeners, though most of the people in this neighborhood are Catholics. The first Sunday, about twenty-five students from a military school came to hear me. Sabbath, the 7th inst., met with the few Sabbath-keepers at Locust Grove, and was very much encouraged in learning that they had kept up family prayers, and made progress in the health reform. I am now doing some writing, and resting my vocal organs for the summer campaign. We are at least a month ahead of Michigan in the season. Many gardens were made in the month of March. I never saw so much rain in the month of April. Much of the land is flooded. It is a remarkable place for thunder and lightning. Several have been killed by lightning. It takes longer to impress minds in the South, yet the Lord has given us a long tent season to improve upon. We need it all, and need a full and strong team. May God direct! It is now good tent weather. D. T. BOURDEAU. Nolin, Ky., April 15, 1872.
