VERMONT CONFERENCE.

By A. C. Bourdeau

Our Conference has just closed, and I am happy to say, that all the meetings were manifestly attended by the special blessing of God. Union and harmony prevailed in all the deliberations of the Conference. The labors of Bro. D. M. Canright in the religious meetings, which commenced Friday, the 2nd inst., at 9 o’clock, A. M., and continued till yesterday (Sunday) afternoon, were greatly appreciated by all present.

There were held, in all, eighteen meetings during this Conference; four business sessions; four prayer and social meetings. At the one held Sabbath morning eighty-six spoke in one hour. We held one special meeting, at which nearly one hundred and fifty attended to the ordinances of the Lord’s house; and nine preaching meetings, during which the preachers enjoyed good liberty in speaking the word, and the people feasted upon the clear and pointed truths that were presented from the sacred word.

At the close of the last meeting, $95.00 were raised for the California Mission, and the Benevolent Association.
