THE KENTUCKY STATE SABBATH-SCHOOL ASSOCIATION.

By S. Osborn; Mary L. Williams

THE first annual session of the Kentucky and Tennessee Sabbath-school Association was held in connection with the Conference, Oct. 6, 1879. Opened with prayer by Eld. D. M. Canright.

The following officers were elected: For president, S. Osborn; vice-president, G. K. Owen; secretary, M. L. Williams; executive committee, S. Osborn and Clinton Owen.

The number of members at the time of the last yearly report was 38; present number, 163; amount of contributions, $5.10; number of schools, 8.

Bro. Canright spoke of the great necessity of all the schools supplying themselves with proper books, and the sum of $3.60 was donated for that purpose. He also urged that all schools should make out quarterly reports.

The Sabbath-school met in the tent Sabbath morning. The forty-eight students were arranged in three classes by Bro. Osborn. All seemed to understand their lessons. Eld. Canright’s instructions on the manner of conducting Sabbath-schools were highly appreciated. The interest in the Sabbath-school work has increased during the past year, and had all been faithful to duty much more might have been accomplished. Let us all be faithful during the coming year, and pay up our pledges.

Adjourned sine die. S. OSBORN, Pres.

MARY L. WILLIAMS, Sec.
