Virginia

By H. J. FARMAN

DURING the year and five months of my labor in this State, about three months of the time was spent in Petersburg and Hampton, the balance in Richmond, where thirteen have been added to the church,—five by letter, six by baptism, two by vote, besides four or five others who are keeping the Sabbath, and several who are at the point of decision. During this time there were many marked evidences of God's special blessing in answer to prayer, for which I am very grateful. Personally my hope and courage in God were never better, and thankfulness for God's protecting and guiding hand during the present year has been a daily source of comfort and consolation. In harmony with the recommendation of the General Conference Committee that I labor in Vermont, I left Richmond, May 14. I was glad to meet old friends in Springfield, Mass., where I spent a most profitable and enjoyable Sabbath and Sunday, meeting with those whom I had long known, and whom God had blessed. May 18 my wife and I reached the home of our daughter. She and her husband are settled in a part of the State where no Sabbath-keepers are living. This gives them an opportunity to live and give the message for this time to those who know not the present truth. There are many thriving villages and beautiful farms nestled among the Green Mountains, all teeming with those who are judgment bound with us. Pray that they and we may be wise in winning souls for whom Christ died. My present address is Barnet, Vt., R. F. D. 1.
