VIRGINIA

By B. F. Purdham

LYNCHBURG, BUENA VISTA.—For several weeks I have been laboring in Lynchburg, Va., and find plenty to do. I am enjoying the blessing of God while visiting the isolated Sabbath-keepers in the city and surrounding country, and others who were once interested in the truth. I have held regular meetings every night, most of the time in a private house, and there are openings for meetings in a chapel in another part of the city, as well as at several other places, which I will fill as fast as I can. Two have been added to our number as a result of the work so far, and we have hope for others. We expect to see a church organized here in the near future. We have already started the Sabbath-school work. The people are so scattered that it is hard to get all together regularly. I am doing all I can in house-to-house work, and have many opportunities for visiting and giving Bible readings. I am also selling “Christ’s Object Lessons,” and the Lord gives some sweet experiences in this good work. Quarterly meeting was held at Buena Vista the first Sabbath and Sunday in this month, and the Lord gave us an excellent meeting. The attendance was the largest I have ever seen at that place. All seemed deeply interested in the truth. I hope more work can be done there soon. Pray for the work in this part of the field. B. F. PURDHAM.
