Bristol, Vermont.

By D. T. Bourdeau

I HAVE now been laboring over three weeks in Bristol and vicinity, and am giving lectures in a large and commodious school-house at Bristol Flats, half a mile north of where our lamented Bro. Sperry used to live. The new converts are feasting on the truth; the old pilgrims are being revived and encouraged; and some unbelievers are manifesting an interest in the truth. The friends in this section have had but little ministerial help for the past ten years; and as they have evinced a measure of love for the truth by a promptness in meeting their pledges to sustain it, worthy of imitation, and there seems to be some anxiety to hear the truth at different points, I have decided to labor among them awhile. I feel my inability, and earnestly desire to overcome, lead a more humble, self-denying life, having no other object than to glorify God, and help advance the interests of his cause in the sphere he has assigned me. My health is improving. I can speak seven times a week without suffering any inconvenience. D. T. BOURDEAU.
