REPORT FROM BRO. STONE.
By Albert Stone
Jan. 1st, to the middle of February, I spent in laboring with the churches in northern Vermont and Canada. At E. Richford, I gave fourteen discourses, mostly on practical subjects. The brethren and sisters were strengthened and encouraged. Quite a number of outsiders attended and heard with marked interest. Some confessed that we have the truth, but did not move out. Others confessed that we have the truth on the Sabbath question. The brethren here have, in the past, borne with each others infirmities, for their mutual benefit and the good of the cause. May they still strive in all their labors and duties to keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace. I spent two Sabbaths with the few brethren scattered in several townships in the interior of Canada; they appreciated the privilege and were encouraged. Since my return I have spent four Sabbaths with the church in Stowe, Vt. This church are striving to live out the truth. Our meetings are characterized by freedom and encouragement. The Quarterly Meeting at Wolcott, last Sabbath, was thinly attended. It is to be hoped that those members of the church who did not attend, had a reasonable excuse. In the evening a few brethren and sisters met at the house of Bro. S. H. Peck. At the opening of the meeting Bro. A. S. Hutchins made some touching remarks in regard to certain duties in which it was thought some had been remiss, which were well received, and will, we trust, result in good. We then had a free time in observing the ordinances.
