To the Officers and Members of the Vermont Conference.

By Albert Stone

DEAR BRETHREN: In response to the resolutions passed by the Vermont Conference at its last session in regard to myself, I would say: The reason I have labored so little in the cause for the last two years, is not because I have felt no interest in the cause. I have suffered much during a portion of the time from a nervous affection, which at times has much reduced both my physical and mental strength.

About one year ago, I sold my farm to free myself from cares which I felt no longer able to sustain. Since that time my health has been gradually improving. I have felt that respite from mental effort has been necessary for my health. Be that as it may, my health has considerably improved during the past year. I hope wherein I have erred in the past, I may be forgiven.

I feel thankful to the Conference for inquiring after me, and for the resolutions above referred to. By the grace of God I will heed the call of the Conference and give myself wholly to the work as Providence may open the way.

Brethren and sisters, I request your co-operation and your prayers, that I may be imbued with wisdom and qualified for the work. ALBERT STONE. Eden, Vt.
