Essex Co., N. Y.

By S. B. Whitney

The good work is still progressing here, especially at Vermontville. Twelve or more have decided to keep the commandments, and last Sabbath we had our first Sabbath meeting, which was a very good one and seemed to be enjoyed by all. Others for whom we have strong hopes, are on the point of deciding. Some of these have been waiting to hear what the Methodist minister had to say. He took up the subject yesterday, and we are to reply this evening. His effort was weak, and made but little impression. The Lord blesses in trying to be faithful, and this I want to be more and more.
The 14th, I received intelligence of the death of Bro. Henry Hilliard’s only remaining son, with the request to attend his funeral. Feeling it duty, I hastened to the afflicted family, to sympathize with them as best I could. His loss is a dreadful blow to them, but they mourn not without hope.
Having a great burden of anxiety for the friends here, I returned as soon as possible and found the interest apparently as good as when I left.
