EPHESUS AND LYNCHBURG.—I left home January 14 for the last-named place. I spent one night with the little church at Buena Vista, and found them of good courage, although they have had but little labor for several years. They are anxious for some meetings in the spring.

I spent Sabbath and Sunday with the Lynchburg church, but as the weather was unfavorable, and there was much sickness among our people, the quarterly meeting was not held at that time.

I came to Ephesus, and began meeting in the M. E. church, with the consent of the pastor, and the Lord has been present to help in presenting his word. The congregations have been good most of the time. The minister and his wife have been present at nearly every meeting, and have assisted me, and are very kind. I have visited them at their home. To some extent they are observing the principles of health reform. The interest is good here, and I hope to see some obey soon. I am invited to hold meetings in two or three miles away.

The weather has been so bad for one week that we had to discontinue our meetings for several days, as the people could not attend. I have taken six orders for the REVIEW in the last few months, also some for the Signs. Pray for the work here.
