To the Members of the Vt. T. & M. Society, Dist. No. 2.
Dear Brethren and Sisters: Our next quarterly meeting is appointed to be held at the house of Bro. H. W. Barrows, in Irasburgh, May 27, 28. The season being late, some will, I fear, feel to excuse themselves from attending. But this must not be the case, as important business will come before the meeting. If we cannot see that “God has gone out before us,” and that he calls on all to take part in this work, we have great reason to be alarmed about ourselves. We need to draw very near to God, that he may draw near to us. And when we have the love of God burning in our hearts, we shall feel it a privilege to do what we can to induce our fellow-men to love him, and to show their love for him by keeping all of his commandments. We are not our own. A very great price has been paid to redeem us. The wants of the cause are being faithfully set forth. As good servants, let us take hold of this work in earnest, remembering that very soon “Every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labor. For we are laborers together with God.” Each member is earnestly requested to send his report to me immediately. Do not delay, but do it now.
