WEST VIRGINIA.

By W. R. Foggin

BEREA.—Have closed my meetings for a few days at Flat Woods. I was there nearly three weeks, and had good interest and attendance all the time. At the eighteenth meeting I took an expression of the congregation to learn how many were convinced that we had presented the truth to them, and twenty-three arose. Several have commenced to keep the Sabbath, and others will commence soon. Took seven subscriptions at the last meeting for REVIEW and Signs. People who were holding meetings at the same time about two and a half miles from where I was, reported that I had set the time for the second advent of Christ, and did all they could to keep people away. One man who would not come to hear me at first, was urged by his wife until he came, and the result is both have accepted the truth. The work moves slowly here, but we hope for better times in the near future. To the brethren in West Virginia I would say, Stand at your post, and victory is ours.
