Virginia

By H. W. Herrell

RICHMOND.—We have been located at the capital of the State since the middle of November. While the week of prayer is in the past, I trust none of God's people have ceased praying for the cause of God.

The Lord came near to us here during the week of prayer, and gave us the mind to give liberally, considering our membership. Our offerings amounted to $42.32, nearly four times as much as was donated last year. We feel to praise the Lord for this, as all the praise belongs to him; for without him we can do nothing. As a church we have not adopted the ten-cent-a-week plan, but we hope that each member will do something the present quarter. Our quarterly meeting, held January 2, was also a good time for us here. We were pleased to have with us at that time Brethren Bradford and Hickey. Two have united with the church here during the past quarter, by profession of faith.

I also had the pleasure of holding the quarterly meeting with the Hebron church, Sabbath, January 16. The Spirit of the Lord was present in a special manner, and all seemed to desire a closer walk with their Saviour. One brother united with the church, subject to baptism. There is some interest among those not of our faith to hear the word at this place. We ask an interest in the prayers of all the REVIEW family for the work here. H. W. HERRELL.
