VERMONT

BARRE.— Since camp-meeting we have been holding meetings in a hall on Main Street. The attendance has been very small. We are doing what we can to advertise the meetings by putting notices in the daily papers, scattering handbills, using a bulletin board at the stairway, leading to the hall, visiting, etc.; yet we do not see what we had hoped to see. However, there are a few who seem favorably impressed by the truth, and we shall hope to see some fruit.
As our Bible workers go among the people, they find those who will promise to come to the meetings; but when the hour for service comes, they are not there. Brethren, pray earnestly for the work in this place. Elder Purdon is here at present, assisting in the work. If any of our brethren and sisters would like to assist in the expenses of hall rent, lights, etc., what they would contribute would be very thankfully received. J. W. WATT.
OUR aged brother, Washington Morse, writes from Williamstown, Vt., Sept. 11, 1901:—
“My health is excellent. I can stand and speak one hour without feeling weary. Truly the fields are white for harvest. I attended the Vermont camp-meeting. It was excellent.
“I am sure that a great change has come over the people within the last two years. It certainly is not all in me. Never before under this last message have I felt such love for those I meet as I have the last five months. It seems much like the love which I felt under the first message; yes, even the last six months of that message. How I feel for my brethren, some of whom have lost their first love, and think of going back into the business of the world to open new farms and get ready for old age. My experience is that such soon grow rusty and lose their love for the Saviour’s soon coming and for precious souls. The message to us is, There is no longer delay. The coming of the Lord in this generation! This has the right ring; and all who will consecrate themselves to God and go forward in the canvassing work, will experience God’s blessing as never before. I know this by experience.”
