LABORS IN VERMONT.

By Albert Stone

SABBATH, Oct. 12, 1867, met with a few brethren and sisters at the house of Bro. Loveland, in Johnson. As but few were present, the time was occupied by way of conference, in which all present took part. This little church are so scattered from the place of meeting, that considerable effort is required to bring them together, yet they manifest a commendable zeal in trying to keep up meetings on the Sabbath.

The next Sabbath I met with the church in Stowe, where I preached two discourses, which were well received, and the testimonies of the brethren and sisters were good and to the point.

Sabbath, 26th, have been for several days and am still confined at home by sickness of my youngest son with typhoid fever.

The first Sabbath in Nov., met with the church in Wolcott, where we had freedom in speaking, and we think a profitable meeting, because the Spirit of the Lord was present to witness to the truth.

On first-day, in company with Bro. Morse and Bro. and Sr. Fife, went eight miles to visit a sister who was sick and expecting soon to die of consumption, and who has expressed a desire to partake of the communion before her departure. Found her in a very good state of mind, having given up her children and all to the Lord. The sweet Spirit of the Lord seemed to fill the room, cheering the services of the occasion.

I expect to be with the church in Wolcott next Sabbath. ALBERT STONE.
