VIRGINIA

By I. SANBORN

Page Co.—I am still laboring in this county. Twelve have signed the covenant, and steps have been taken toward church organization. A great many others are keeping the Sabbath, who will, I think, unite with us as soon as they overcome the tobacco habit. Some are waiting for their friends to unite with them. I expect to organize a Sabbath-school, if the people can raise money to take a club of the Instructor. It requires a great deal of patient labor to accomplish much, as the people are slow to move. This makes the labor wearing. But there are precious souls all around us who will follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth.
There are calls for preaching in two other places, one five miles and the other three miles from Zion, where I now am. I took a hard cold when I came into the State, and the weather has been so changeable that I have not fully recovered from it yet, but by careful treatment, and the help of the Lord, I have kept about my work. I hope all interested in this mission will pray for me. I. SANBORN.
