Virginia

By T. H. Painter; C. B. Rule

LOWRY.—We came to this place from Ephesus, June 29, and pitched our tent in a beautiful grove near the Norfolk & Western depot. A Catholic lady kindly gave us the free use of the grove.

Our congregations have been good from the beginning, some nights the tent will not hold the people. We praise our dear Heavenly Father for this. Some are becoming interested as they hear the message of God for this time; and we long to see a good company raised up here. We shall labor to that end. But it is hard for the people to forsake their churches, and give up the old ways of living. All but one of those at Ephesus who came out in the spring are still faithful. There are a few others there who, we think, may yet obey the truth, as they study our literature. We expect to remain here till camp-meeting. We hope to have baptism Sabbath or Sunday, July 16 or 17. We expect Elder Hottel here then.
