West Virginia

By T. H. Painter

AFTER our good camp-meeting at Clarksburg, Elder Purdham and I pitched our tent near the fair-ground, and continued meetings for two weeks, to follow up the interest awakened by the camp-meeting. We were invited to preach in two Methodist Episcopal churches several times while there. We had good congregations at both places, and those present seemed deeply impressed with the themes presented.

I then went to Elk Garden, and held meetings two weeks. The church there has been strengthened, and all are of good courage as they see others interested. Several say they are nearly ready to live out the truth. I also held two meetings at Wabash. The house was nearly full both times. Two promised to live out the truths they heard. I feel sure that others would obey the truth if we could hold a series of meetings there. Our people are coming up with the tithe at those places. I visited Bloomington; four or five faithful souls there desire baptism. Brother Morehead has an interesting little Sabbath-school there. I have taken orders for the REVIEW and for the Gleaner.
