VIRGINIA

By I. Sanborn

Since my last report, I have held meetings one week at Timberville, in Rockingham Co. It was in the most hurried time of spring work, and where the people were mostly Lutherans and Dunkers. For these reasons our congregations were not large, and yet we had a few who seemed much interested. Bro. Henry Rife, who lives in the place, and understands prophecy well, goes out frequently and holds meetings.

I have also held meetings eight days at Liberty, in Shenandoah Co. Had quite a good interest all the time. Several persons told me they should keep the Sabbath after this. This place is only about five miles from Soliloquy; therefore we thought it not best to continue our effort any longer, as those who are interested can attend the quarterly meetings at Soliloquy, and the regular Sabbath meetings also.

I now renew my labors four miles west of Mt. Jackson, and continue over two Sabbaths, to the 27th of May; and on the 28th, no providence preventing, I will go to Baltimore, as per appointment in this number. I. SANBORN.
