Fairfax Court House, Virginia.
By B. F. Purdham
I CAME to this place June 15, where Elds. J. O. Corliss and M. G. Huffman had the tent pitched and ready for meetings, which began the next evening and have continued every night to the present. So far Eld. Corliss has been doing the preaching, and the Lord has given much freedom in presenting the truths of his word. Our attendance has ranged from one hundred and twenty-five to three hundred. The people seem to take a great interest in listening to the words spoken, and are very kind in looking after our temporal wants and inviting us to their homes. We hope the Lord may bless this effort here in our new Conference, that precious souls may be added to our number. In our labors with Eld. C. this summer we hope to gain an experience that will better prepare us for the work. Brethren, remember us at the throne of grace.
June 25, 1888. B. F. PURDHAM.
