Mt. Jackson, Virginia.

By I. Sanborn

AFTER making an effort at Bolivar, I held a few meetings in a neighborhood three miles west of this place, where there are eight Sabbath-keepers. Mrs. Sanborn is at present living in the neighborhood, and doing a large amount of missionary work, which is increasing continually. If we succeed in carrying out our plans, one thousand copies of the SIGNS will soon come into this mission every week.

Our quarterly meetings just past were good. The preaching was practical and searching, and all the lovers of the truth seemed encouraged to be more faithful than in the past. The V. M. workers are now sending out weekly thirty-five copies of the SIGNS. They also raised about $26.00 in donations and pledges, to add to our tract fund. We have some money on hand, and a good supply of tracts. The church at Zion, Page Co., is now fully organized, having eleven members and an ordained elder and deacon. They have a Sabbath-school. The work moves slowly, but I trust its progress is sure. Pray for us.
