The exercises of the celebration were conducted in the Walnut street meeting house in Louisville, on Thursday, May 25, 1876. The house was densely packed, and the centennial address was delivered by Elder Lucian B. Woolfolk, and the audience was moved to tears and enthusiasm. It was a time of thrilling joy, of grateful praise, of glad remembrances, and of hope-inspiring anticipations.
The memorial fund, according to the final report of the cen- tennial committee, amounted to $12,664.65, besides a much larger sum, which was invested in educational and other local benevolent enterprises, without passing through the hands of the committee. But the greatest value of the centennial move- ment was not in the money collected. As stated in the report of the Executive Board of the General Association : "If we had not collected a dollar for the centennial, the effect produced by

the discussion of our history would more than pay for all the time and labor spent."
The subject of temperance reform continued to enlist the sympathies and engage the efforts of the churches. Nearly all the district associations passed resolutions in favor of prohibi- tion, from year to year. The following declaration of the Gene- ral Association, during its annual meeting, in 1883, expresses the general sentiment of the Baptists of Kentucky :
Whereas, the signs of the times indicate a more positive and earnest feeling for outspoken and unmistakable views of moral and religious truth, and all Christian bodies ought to declare, in no uncertain sound, their position on any and all vital principles. Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the General Association of the Baptists of the State of Kentucky, That we reaffim our adherence to the temperance cause with the view of destroying the use of all alcoholic liquors as a beverage, and we will continue to labor for the prohibition of its sale, manufacture and drinking.
"Resolved, That every Baptist minister of the State be requested to preach as often as practicable on this subject during the present associational year."
The first general expression of the Baptists in Kentucky in favor of female missionary societies, was in the adoption of the report on State Missions, by the General Association, in 1876. The report contained the following sentence: "To further this work we would recommend to our churches the formation of female missionary societies, or the employment of such other means as shall enlist the sisters." Two years previous to this a female missionary society had been formed in the church at Russelville ; another was formed, at Elkton, in 1877, and, in accordance with the advice of the Southern Baptist Convention, such societies were formed in five of the churches in Louisville, and in that at Frankfort, in 1878. The next year ten societies were organized in different parts of the State. In May, 1884, sixty-six societies of the kind were reported to the General Association, as having contributed to foreign missions, during the preceding year, $1,032.97, and, since their organization, $4,541.07.
The numerical growth of the denomination in the State was greater during the decade under consideration, than during any

Of colored Baptists, in 1880, there were twelve associations, 443 churches, and 50,368 members. Grand total of Baptists in Kentucky, in 1880, ninety-eight associations, 2,073 churches, and 176,250 members. The population of the State in 1880, was 1, 648, 690. This gave, in round numbers, one Baptist to every nine of the population.
