WEST VIRGINIA.

By S. M. Cobb

SAINT MARYS.—The work at this place has been greatly hindered on account of the severe storms that have swept this part of the country. After meetings had been held for about ten days, with a fair interest and attendance, the large tent was blown down. Brethren Foggin and Rule put it up again, securing new center poles, and the meetings were resumed. Another cyclone snapped the new poles and tore the tent to shreds. Arriving there, I found that they had laced two strips of wall together, thirty-five feet long, attached each end to an apple tree, and raised the center about ten feet high, then set up the wall poles, so as to attach the edges of the wall to them. They thus had a place of meeting again, 16 x 25 ft., capable of seating one hundred persons. I was with them one Sunday night, and spoke to a good congregation.
