THE WORK IN THE SOUTH.

By James White

Eld. S. Osborn of Kentucky has been with us several days. He reports a membership in the Kentucky and Tennessee Conference of seventy, and one hundred and sixty Sabbath-keepers within the bounds of his mission. That mission, from first to last, has not cost the General Conference five hundred dollars, including the cost of their tent, and is now self-sustaining. Bro. Osborn is one of our hard-working, faithful men. If it please God, Mrs. W. and the writer will hold camp-meeting with his people in late autumn. We shall be glad to hold camp-meetings in Virginia, Kentucky, and Texas, near the edge of next winter, which we now expect to spend at some point in the South. We commenced to labor in this cause when, and where, it was new, and have continued to build up the weak places up to this time. We have lost burden for the old fields, where we have labored in the fear of God to the utmost of strength and ability. If the Lord will go with us in power, we may do something more where the cause is new and weak. J. W.
