Report of Labors.

By N. Orcutt

SINCE removing from Bordoville to this place (we arrived March 7), I have spent every Sabbath but one with the church here; have preached to them eighteen of the twenty-one intervening Sabbaths, and have spoken to the church and friends from without ten times upon points of present truth upon first-day. Have also spent one Sabbath with the church at Andover, and at the school-house near Bro. Pierce’s, spoke to a crowded house at 5 P. M. on first-day; have preached twice, at 5 P. M. first-day, in the Methodist church at Bondville, three miles from our house, and once in the Baptist church at South Londonderry.

Realizing that the truth, wherever presented, will save or condemn, as it is obeyed or rejected, I pray God to so water the seed sown that some may bear fruit unto eternal life.

There is on the part of some an interest to hear. Some confess that we have the truth upon the Sabbath; but whether any will obey, time must decide.

I have labored with my hands to perfect some necessary arrangements incident to our removal from Northern Vermont to this place. I am, with my companion, since our severe illness last autumn, enjoying more than usual health, for which we feel truly grateful.

We desire to be remembered in the prayers of the remnant, that we may understand, and be able to do, our Father’s will.
