Solid Work
The American Sunday-School Union, in the year 1855, organized the Big Creek Sabbath-School, Adair County, Ky. This school has continued to meet every Sabbath, except for a short period during the civil war. It is located in the country, many miles from any railroad. From its organization until now, about 700 scholars have been enrolled, so that the average attendance has not been large. From this little Sunday School in the backwoods there have gone:

• 7 Ministers of the Gospel
• 1 Missionary of Amer. S.S. Union
• 1 Candidate for V. Pres. U.S.
• 1 Lieut. Governor of KY
• 72 School Teachers
• 13 Merchants
• 10 Lawyers
• 13 Practicing Physicians

In their youth, 200 scholars in this School united with the church, and no person connected with Big Creek Sunday-School has ever been convicted of any crime. Some who received their moral training here, now occupy important positions in other States, in colleges, banks, and as successful business men. Small Sunday-Schools in the country make noble contributions to the Church and the State.
