Virginia

By H. W. Herrell

AMONG THE CHURCHES.—Recently I had the pleasure of visiting the churches at Portsmouth, Norfolk, and Newport News, and found them in a better spiritual condition than ever before. Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Claremont were appealing for help, greatly desiring a minister for a season. At present we could supply only one of these calls.

Some of the members had been distributing the printed page from house to house, and praying that God would bless the same. We found, in talking with them, that some had mourned because their friends and loved ones were outside the fold. The Lord has heard their prayers, and blessed their efforts, in behalf of these; and some are now rejoicing in God's saving truth for this time.

The work is onward in Virginia. During the past five months more than twenty persons have decided to keep the Sabbath of the Lord.

While we are pleased to see this progress, still our hearts are made sad to see so many failing to take and to study the REVIEW. In going from place to place we notice that where the REVIEW is taken, and read, the people are rooted and grounded in the faith. Surely none can afford to be without this most valuable paper.

There are, we know, some who can not afford the subscription price to the REVIEW, though they greatly desire it. If such will send me their names and addresses, I will see if we can not arrange to have some one send the paper to them. All who can afford to take the paper, and who are not doing so, should not fail to send in their subscriptions at once.

We ask that all the REVIEW family will remember the work in Virginia before the throne of grace.
