The West Virginia Colporteurs' Institute

By I. A. FORD.

The colporteurs' institute for West Virginia was held in Parkersburg, April 9-19. This was the largest institute ever held in the State. The field agent and other conference officers had been doing very faithful and successful work, and an excellent company of consecrated men and women was in attendance to prepare for the Lord's work. Among the number were two or three school-teachers
one music teacher, and a former minister of the Baptist Church.
The instruction was principally given by the field agent, Brother H. F. Kirk, and the union agent, I. D. Richardson. It was the privilege of the writer to be present two days and assist in the general instruction. Besides the institute drill each day, meetings were held at night by Elder C. T. Redfield, which were well attended by those not of our faith.
The outlook for the work in West Virginia is most encouraging. Already reports are coming in from those who attended the convention and are now in the field taking orders with good success. May the Lord bless the work and workers in this small conference. I. A. FORD.
