The Cause in Virginia.

A PRIVATE letter from Virginia to Bro. E. B. Lane gives a very encouraging report of the prospects for the cause in that State. Bro. R. T. Fults, who writes, states that himself and another brother meet a very friendly reception from the Disciples, are invited to their meeting-houses, and have very great freedom in presenting the truth, which is awakening an interest in the minds of many. People leave other meetings almost at their own doors, and come quite a distance to hear on the truths they have to present. One man, not a professor, but who stands high in the community, offers to fit up and seat a grove on his own land, if they will come there and preach to the people. A Bro. Rife is preaching at another place with a good interest. When Bro. Corliss and Lane left, the people looked for the movement to die out; but now instead of two, there are five or six talking the truth, and they do not know what to make of it. He reports the cause as looking brighter in Virginia now than ever before.
