Report from Bro. Hutchins.
By A. S. Hutchins
Bro. White: Since my last report, I have spent two Sabbaths at Wolcott. The happy results of the meetings on the days of fasting and prayer, are encouragingly visible. A portion of this church are taking the right stand on the health-reform, are heeding the counsel to the Laodiceans, and are seeking to gain the overcomer's reward. The last Sabbath in June and the first-day following, also last Sabbath and first-day, I spent at West Enosburgh. We were happy to meet Eld. A. Stone at these meetings, and hear him preach the word again. But our hearts were pained to hear him announce that such is the state of his health, that he had reason to fear that he might never attempt to speak in public again. We love this dear brother, and appreciate his help, which is much needed, especially in the absence of those beloved servants of God, who have recently left us to labor in the Western harvest field. The church, too, have an ardent love and sympathy for Bro. Stone; and we all most anxiously wish he could be freed from home cares and labors, and go out to feed the hungry, waiting flock, as God might give him strength. To this end, we cannot, we must not, forget to pray for him. Berkshire, Vt., July, 1866.
