Ditweiler (sic) and Blackburn are encouraged here, some having professed to get saved. This is the late Bro. L.L. Kendricks' old field of labor."*** 1931-6: Roanoke, VA: "Brother W.F. Hunter hopes soon to commence tent work here but feels the need of a fellow-laborer. He reports good meetings in Kingstown and Marion, Va., and in Tennessee. His home address is 213 South Church St., Waynesboro, Penna."*** 1931-9: Marion, VA: "At Bre. Detweiler and Blackburn's meetings here a number have professed conversion."*** 1931-10: Marion, VA: Frank M. Detweiler & David A. Blackburn: "Some twenty believers are now gathered to the Lord's name in this place, as the result of two summers' tent work. Eleven obeyed the Lord in baptism, some recently saved, and others delivered from systems of men. Meetings in the tent continue with good interest after nine weeks. Brethren, pray for us."** ''Light & Liberty''*** 1935:**** "W. Fisher Hunter spent a month between Marion and Roanoke, Virginia. At Marion some were delivered from the systems and some were added to the assemblies."**** Bristol, VA: "F. Detweiler and H. MacKay had the joy of baptizing four believers here and also baptized four at Marion, Va. Others hope to take this step later."**** David Brinkman writes: ***** "In January, I had three week's meetings in the assembly at Savannah. Two professed to be saved;one was the wife of a Jew (who is now interested) and the other was a young woman, who showed that she had received Jesus Christ as her LORD and Savior, by first giving up her employment as a Beautifier and later returning the engagement ring to her unsaved suitor, in submission to her new Lord. I have just returned from having four weeks of gospel meetings in the assembly in Marion, Va., and we heard five confess Him as their Lord and Savior. I immersed in the river the first one saved, a man, whose wife and daughter also 'received Him'. They live twenty-five miles from the assembly, and we hope that their lives and testimony will open their town to the gospel. Pray for the Brownings and for Wytheville, Va. As my tent was wrecked last fall, after six long seasons, I am now having another tent made up on my old ropes and expect to pitch it soon after you read this. I expect to start in a new direction and ask prayer for the Lord's Presence, and guidance and blessing."*** 1936:**** Marion, VA: "All day New Year's meetings were a season of blessing to the Lord's people. F.M. Detweiler and Harold MacKay ministered the Word."**** Harold MacKay writes:***** "During January I had two weeks' meetings on the "Person of Christ" for the Christians in Marion, Va., and the Lord graciously blessed His Word to the reviving of His people. Bro. Nugent of Newport News then joined me and we have continued in Gospel meetings for three weeks. In spite of severe weather the attendance has been encouraging and two have professed faith in Christ. We believe a number are in soul trouble and we look to the Lord for much blessing as we enter the fourth week. After closing here we expect to commence gospel meetings in Bristol, Va. Please pray for us."***** "We have just closed a gospel campaign at Marion, Va., where the Lord's hand was seen and where a number professed to be saved. Some of them are especially bright cases, and this gives us much joy."*** 1937:**** Marion, VA: "H.G. MacKay has just completed two and one-half weeks of meetings for the Christians, ministering on the Tabernacle chart. The attendance was good in spite of weather conditions, and the Lord's people seemed cheered and refreshed, and a man and his wife professed to be saved. Brother MacKay has also been broadcasting every Sunday at 2 p.m."**** Marion, VA: "The Annual Conference was held on July 4th and 5th. The ministry was of a very high order centering in "God's all-sufficiency and wonderful provision in Christ", the importance of a yielded life that the Spirit of God might make known to us and enable us to appropriate our possessions in Christ. This was blended with the practical results that will be seen in the individual and the assembly life when God has His way with us. Dr. K.B. Moomaw, John Bramhall, H.G. MacKay and F.M. Detweiler ministered the Word. Mr. MacKay and Mr. Detweiler continued in the gospel with growing interest."**** Marion, VA: "H.G. MacKay and F.M. Detweiler are now in the seventh week of nightly meetings with good interest. A number of souls have been saved and others are exercised. They have the privilege of preaching twice each week to men at noon hour shop where from 100 to 200 listen. A well attended open air meeting is being held each Saturday night. They hope to reach many more souls. Pray much for these meetings."**** Marion, VA: H.G. MacKay & F.M. Detweiler: "We have closed the tent meetings after ten weeks with a nice number of precious souls confessing Christ as Savior and Lord. We have baptized eight, others to take this step this coming Lord's Day. Let us praise Him for this victory."*** 1938:**** "W. Fisher Hunter is giving help to the small assembly at Marion, Va. He will go to Roanoke from there for gospel meetings, D.V."**** "James Gibson stayed seven weeks at Morris, Ala., where two professed. There is a small Bible reading
