VIRGINIA TENT.

By E. B. Lane; J. O. Corliss

Rev. N. Summerbell, of Cincinnati, a leading minister and historian of the Christian Church, visited Newport and delivered three interesting and profitable discourses. He accepted the use of the tent, as their church would not accommodate the crowd that gathered. Notwithstanding, we have given eleven discourses, made twenty-nine family visits, and had an interesting Sabbath meeting, in which several bore testimony in favor of the truth. God's holy Spirit was with us. Sunday we had the hardest rain of the season, yet about five hundred were gathered to hear Mrs. Lane on the subject of health reform and temperance.

We move the tent about six miles to-day, to a place called Lakeville, and also continue meetings at this place in the Christian church.
