TENNESSEE AND VIRGINIA.
By B. F. Fordham
In January I was requested to make the Tennessee River Conference my field of labor, which I did at the close of our good meeting at Graysville. I labored at Fountain Head first, where I finally organized a church of twelve members. I baptized one brother near South Tunnel. I also held meetings at Rapids, Ky., and at Corinth and other places in Tennessee. In June it was decided that I should again connect with the work in the Virginia Conference. I am now engaged in tent work in Norfolk, Va., and hope to see some accept the truth at this place. I have also held meetings with the church in Portsmouth. I baptized four persons there, and seven were added to the church. It seems good to again get back to my native State, where I first heard and accepted the blessed truth, about twenty-two years ago, and where I entered the work about eighteen years ago. I feel a deep interest for the work in this field, and trust the Lord will give me grace to do his will. My family are still at Archdale, N. C., but we hope soon to move to Virginia. B. F. FORDHAM.
