KENTUCKY TENT.

By S. Osborn

Two weeks have passed since my last report, and still the good work goes on. We know of seventeen who are keeping the Sabbath as the result of this meeting. The Disciples are making some stir. One preached on the two covenants. I reviewed him, and he reviewed me again; and it stopped there for the present; but they are complaining some. It is almost an entire Disciple neighborhood; and they feel their dignity. I have given fifty-two discourses thus far, and it seems that the interest is as good as ever. I had continued over six weeks without any intermission, and last Sunday night I proposed to rest a few days. Two men offered 100 lbs. of flour apiece to have the meetings continue even all winter. The people bring us all the country produce we want. I have sold between twenty and twenty-five dollars' worth of books—a thing unparalleled in this State, because the people think so little of reading; everything must be preached to them. We shall stay here as long as it seems duty. Pray for us.
