Chittenden County, Vt.

By A. S. Hutchins

I HAVE been in this county every Sabbath but one, since the first of last July. During our labors with the tent here, as previously stated, we have seen the cause of the Lord prosper. Men have turned their feet from the paths of sin and disobedience, to the highway of God's holy commandments and righteousness. Others who were trying to render to him obedience, have seen additional light and truth from the word of the Lord, and are now honoring him by walking therein.

We expect to remain here at present, and labor as our health and strength will admit in this good cause. The daily cry of my heart is, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? God is good. His service is most delightful to the obedient servant. Victory will surely turn on the side of truth. The reward is certain to the overcomer. The “far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory” to be revealed in the gift of immortality and endless life, will cause every pain and grief, and anxious care and wearing toil, of the good soldier in the Christian warfare, to fade from the mind, as the faintest rays of light fade from the most dim star, before the beaming light of the rising sun.

Yesterday and to-day were good days for commandment-keepers in Jericho and West Bolton.
