VIRGINIA

By E. B. Lane

Another good meeting in Page Co. has just closed. The Methodist minister who has lately embraced the Sabbath remains firm, although the church to which he belonged have done and said all they could to cause him to retract. He is informed that they have scratched his name off from their church record without giving him a trial, contrary to the discipline of the church; still he remains unshaken and regularly preaches to the Sabbath-keepers in Page Co., and proves a great strength to them. Our congregations at the above place are very large, their house of worship being inadequate for their use. One more has embraced the Sabbath as a result of our labor a few weeks ago. We have many urgent calls for labor, and have plenty of room and work in this new field for a score or more of live, energetic, sacrificing men.

The brethren in Shenandoah and Rockingham Counties are of good courage, and the prospects of the cause here never looked brighter. Remember us in your prayers. Mrs. Lane is teaching a school this winter.
