WHAT WE FOUNT) THEltE.
On the iirst day of August, the writer
in company with Rev. H. L. Cockerham,
pastor of the church of Troy, Ky.,
and Rev. I. Cochrane Hunt, the newly
vivnuu ciiihiiiiii-iiuviil oi itome .Missions
in West Lexington Presbytery,
started on a tour of certain of the
mountain churches in the field of the
aforesaid Presbytery.
We were s?cnt on this expedition.
Mr- Hunt went in his official capacity
011 a visitation to some of the fields in
which he had not yet been. Mr. Cockcrham
and the writer went to fulfill
the evangelistic appointments made for
them by the Home Mission Committee
according to the established custom of
the Presbytery. Our distinctively Home
Mission territory begins at Clay City.
This little church has had until lately
the services of Rev. J. P. Doggett, who
has gone to Tennessee. It is now vacant.
At this point is located the Orphanage
for mountain children, established
and maintained by the Society
of "Soul Winners." Some four miles
away at the next station, 011 the railroad
is Stanton, the county seat of
Powell County. Our little church there
is served at the request of the Presbytery
by Pev. Mr. Hanly, of the I'nited
Presbyterian church.
This excellent denomination has a
fine school here. It is only a few years
old. But our church has been there
many years. We are told that the
United Presbyterians located here
through the "Society of Soul Winners."
We passed by Beattyville with its
many churches, its history of hope deferred,
and its unconquered confidence
in itself and its futures. Mr. Hanly, of
Staunton, looks after our work here also.
St. Helen's, where the little church
lias doubled in a year, is the next one
we come to. It is just being left vacant
by Mr. Hunt's becoming Superintendent.
The Twin Creek Church is
also a part of the field that Mr. Hunt has
been serving.
It is at Athol Station. Over to the
right, some four miles away is the Irvine
Memorial Church. It was organized
under the Synod's committee more
than twenty years ago. Its membership
has evaporated. Tts building has about
rotted down. Two miles or so farther
up tlie river is the Highland church.
This is the fruit of the work of the
"Soul Winners." Here they have a
school that is doing good work in the
lower grades. Thrse being naturally
the only ones for which there is a demand
in the neighborhood. Mr. Doggett.
who supplied Clay City, was, until
his recent removal the pastor there.
Here our trip really hegan, for we stopped
at none of the places named so far.
Jackson is a town throbbing with life,
and almost, overwhelmed with work. It
has increased greatly in population and
wealth in the last few years. Four
churches for white people are there.
Our church is vacant and has been for a
year. And yet it is a most needv. and
in many ways an exceedingly attractive
field.
It is about forty miles to Hazard by
the wagon road. Rut it is not a lonely
way any longer. Twenty, or even ten
years ago, every traveler accustomed to
it nntieprl the loneliness and silencp of
that wrary mountain way- Today It la
musical all the way to Hazard with the
sound of moving teams, the hum of
growing communities, and the crash and
hoom of the railroad In the making.
Three miles above Jackson you find at
the mouth of Quicksand, a new and
thriving town called by the name of the.
Creek. The trains are already running
to this point, the present terminus of the
AN OF THE SOUTH
L. & E. So far as we could find out
there is 110 regular preaching service
here, but there are occassional meetings
held by different ministers of the
vicinity. Some four or live miles up
the river you come to the big creek
called Troublesome. You travel along
its banks for another mile or so, and
then you are at the mouth of Lost Creek.
Here is a post olfice and a little settlement
that has been here for many yearsSome
fifteen or sixteen years ago the
writer saw pitched in the hot, sultry
llllirldv hoHom Dr OiwM-i'inlV 'l>io- '
Through the trying weather, in anything
but comfort, more than half sick, the
Doctor was preaching every day, and
almost all day to large crowds. There
is here now a mission, consisting of a
church and schcol, conducted by the
Dunkards. It is understood that they located
here at the instance of the
"Society of Soul Winners." We had
heard that there was a mission of the
Baptists here. But we were unable to
find it, or any trace of it. It is a
Dunkard establishment. For thirty
miles, all the way up lx>st Creek, and
for three miles up the river until we
came to Hazard we saw no sign of a
church, or religious institution of any
sort. About nineteen years ago, Dr.
Guerrant, representing the Synod of
Kentucky held a great meeting at Hazard
and organized the first Presbyterian
church over in Perry county. At this
time the little town had no church building
of any kind- All told, there were not
more than a dozen dwellings in it. Soon
after that the Presbyterians erected the
frst church building that the town ever
had. Now Hazard is a flourishing center
of business. The> railroad will soon be
completed to it- Tn anticipation of this
business there is exceedingly active.
The Baptists and Methodists, besides
ourselves, have church buildings, and
just above the town the "Hard Shells"
dedicated a building while we were in
Hazard. The Baptists have for a number
of years conducted an excellent
school there. It has good buildings and
a beautiful location. We found our little
church alive and active. Its people
are loyal and true. Though so long
without a pastor they have kept up their
Sunday school, and have bought and
paid for a lot for a manse. Here we
held a good meeting- It was conducted
by Mr. Oockerham, who did most of the
preaching. The singing was decidedly
the best congregational singing the
musical members of our party had ever
heard in Kentucky. The number of
men who sing and sing well is re

markablc. A line man's meeting was
neld on the Sunday afternoon. It was
a union meeting, and was pronounced
by all a most helpful one. It was on
that day that -Mr. Hunt w.ut down to
Cliavies, at the mouth of Grapevine,
where 011 short notice there was a
congregation of about one hundred.
Here we have excellent property, and
a people anxious to be given regular
services. It is ten miles fx-om Hazard,
but can be taken care of by the Hazard
pastor. Avawain is only four or five
miles away. In this neighborhood we
have an organization, but no church
building. Circumstances prevented our >
doing any preaching there, but for two
days Mr. Hunt and I visited among the
people. It is to that point that Miss
Rena Hanna, of the Maxwell Street
church, Lexington, Ky., went for several
successive summers. The people
miss her greatly, and are sorry that
she no longer comes. In Hazard we
are especially impressed by the kindness
with which we were met by the
other churches of the place. They all
heartily co-operated in the meeting.
After a week in the Perry county
field we separated. .Air. Hunt went on
to Letcher to visit Whitesburg, Maggard
and Tillie, where we have churches,
and the new town of Jenkins that
is springing up out of the earth as if
by magic, going on home by way of
Virginia and the railroad. Mr. Cockerliani
and I turned back to Breathitt.
We met at least fifty loaded wagons
coming from Jackson or Quicksand.
The road is simply perilous. At Jackson
we found the heat and drought
both raging. But we held a communion
service there, with the usual preparatory
services. In the meanwhile Mr.
Cockerham went to Cannel City, a mining
town on the O. and K., where we
have a little church, only a few years
old. On Monday he came to Frozen.
This is one of the churches organized
under the Synod's committee many
years ago. It used to be reached only
after a hard ride from Jackson over
a mountain. Now you can get to it in
a few minutes by the train. At both
these places Mr. Cockerham preacher*.
Prof. Leonard, of Jackson, has hern
giving the Cannel City church "lay"
services at the request of the committee
of Home Missions. Frozen Creek
is without services. Hays is a little
church two miles or so from Jackson,
on the O. and K. Tt is our youngest
cuurcu, ana was organized ai me instance
of the Committee of Home Missions
last winter. Tt is the result of
