REPORT FROM BRO. HUTCHINS.
By A. S. Hutchins
SINCE my last report in March, I have attended meeting every Sabbath, with one exception. At this time I was unable to be out, by reason of a severe blow received upon my head the previous day, from the fall of a heavy stick of wood, which fell some five feet. It seems to me that it was only through the mercy and providence of God, that I then escaped sudden death, or at least a fractured skull. Truly God is good, and greatly to be praised. About one half of this time, my labors have been with the church in Wolcott, the balance with churches in other towns and counties. We have had some excellent meetings. Have experienced marked tokens of God’s love and care for his faithful, humble children. My earnest, anxious prayer and desire are to be nearer to him; to be watchful and prayerful, and seek to shed a holy influence wherever I go. I want to do something, though it be but little, in the cause of my divine Master, who has done so much for me; who has suffered and died that we might live; and left the sure and blessed promise, “If we suffer, we shall also reign with him;” reign in bright glory, with all the ransomed, with all the saved of earth. Waltham, Vt., July 1, 1869.
