REPORT FROM BRO. CANRIGHT.

By Dudley Marvin Canright

Friday, Sept. 27, we returned to Norridgewock after an absence of seven weeks. It seemed good to meet our dear brethren and sisters after so long a time. About fifty assembled in the meeting house that evening and we had a sweet season of prayer and social meeting. We find all going on quietly and trying to live peaceably with all men and serve God according to his word. The Sabbath School is as full and interesting as ever. If it be the will of God, we hope to spend more time here in the future.
I have become so worn down by constant labor, that I have little strength or energy left to do any thing. Our meeting house at Athens is progressing finely. From the day we began it, from eight to fifteen men have been at work upon it all the time. It is now up and boarded. This is making a great noise among opposers around. At first, they laughed at it and said we could not do it. But men who are able to build three such houses alone have taken hold of it and say, “It shall go up,” and it will be built in the name of the Lord. Amen.
This is the third house that God’s remnant people have within a few miles of this place. To God be all the thanks.                                                        D. M. CANRIGHT.
