FLOOD OF BILLS

More than $50 bills have been Of
fered in the two Houses of the
Legislature but none of them have
become a law so far unless 1t is the
enc providing for a new mansion for
the Governor. The County Unit Bill
will be signed within a few days and
the Compulsory Primary Bill, which
Las passed the Senate, and also the
Prison Commission Bill are expected
to pass the House soon. Another i'm
portant measure, and the one that
has been the chief vote getter Of
both parties. the Good Roads Bill,
is meeting with trouble. 1t has not
SO far been considered by the COM
Inittee.
RE-DISTRICTING BILL

House of the Legislature, having in
charge the re-districting measure.

stance. Adair and Casey counties are
to be taken from the 18th and joined
tc the Sth District; Rockcastle will
be taken from the Sth aud attached
to the 18th; Jackson, Owsley, Perry

State Central Committee upheld the

vote of to 4. The call was issued
evidently for the purpose of prevent

Legislature from taking any part in

WIND UP OF GOSPEL MEETINGS
Sunday . Great Day-The Afternoon
Meetings Turnout the Services Es-
peciaily Helpful-ln Some Dormi-
tories and Glasses all are now
Christians.

The large success OF the Gospel
Meetings last week led to q continu-
ance OF them for three days this
week.
Last Sunday was a great day. The
Chapel was filled to OVERLOOKING
three times. In the morning Brother
Knight preached a wonderful ser
mon on the character OF Peter. In
the afternoon a considerable number
OF the converts were baptized and
received into the church and at
night there were song service, SER
mon and after-meeting which brought
the number of converts well above
two hundred.
The afternoon meetings have been
we'll attended and highly enjoyable
and profitable. Brother knight treat
ing OF topics of vital Importance in
the Christian life and leading out all
hearts In prayer for the conversion
Of those still Without God in the
World" The last OF these meetings
was on the Golden Rule and became
really hilarious.
The full result OF such a meeting
can never be known. but the imme-
diate effect has been to flood Berea
with that "old time religion which
Expresses itself in smiles and good
Will. In several OF the dormitories
and in many of the classes every
single student Is now Christian.
In the coming summer when this
army of young Christians is spread
over the country. hundreds Of homes
will be cheered. and hundreds of
churches of all denominations will
be reinforced.
Brother Knight has right to
great satisfaction as he journeys
homeward and remembers the hun
dreds of converts and thousands OF
Christian friends in this region.
