VIRGINIA

By I. Sanborn

During the past three weeks I have traveled with Bro. Fultz four days, during which time we obtained nearly four hundred names of persons in different parts of Virginia for our V. M. workers.

I have also preached seventeen times in a free meeting-house in the vicinity of Montevideo, Rockingham Co. There was a good interest until the Sabbath was fairly presented. The meetings closed last Sunday evening, with a good audience, and some little interest.

There are several free meeting-houses in the vicinity, that I am at liberty to preach in at any time. But the Macedonian cry comes from West Virginia, and I have now decided to go there next Monday, Nov. 24. The Lord willing, I shall commence meetings in Rockport, Wood Co., on Thursday evening, Nov. 27. I am informed by letter that four are now keeping the Sabbath there.

To-day Bro. and Sr. Miller were baptized. They embraced the Sabbath under Bro. Lane’s labors, and now give good evidence of becoming workers in the Lord’s cause. I hope through their faithfulness some of their neighbors will be led to keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, and go with us to Mount Zion.

Until further notice, address me at Rockport, Wood Co., West Virginia. Mrs. Sanborn’s address will still be Mt. Jackson, Shenandoah Co., Va. I. SANBORN.
