Addison County, Vt.

By A. S. Hutchings

THE last eight Sabbaths I have spent in this County, four each in Granville and Bristol. Bro. L. Bean was with me five Sabbaths. Considering the severity of the weather, the high winds, and drifting snow, our meetings were well attended.
Since our quarterly meeting in this county in December some ten or twelve have commenced the observance of the Sabbath of the Lord. Several of these made a start in the service of the Lord from attending prayer-meetings held by the brethren in Bristol between the time of the quarterly meeting and our last visit there.
Closed my labors there on Wednesday last by baptizing two. Others intend to go forward soon. The members of this church have been greatly strengthened and encouraged. Spent last Sabbath at Granville. All are keeping the Sabbath who started when we were here. It has been a matter of encouragement to see sinners turning from a life of sin, honoring God by acknowledging the claims of his holy law, and seeking the Saviour as the only source of a pardon of sin. May none of these dear friends stop short of overcoming every habit contrary to the word of God. “Repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ,” is our great work.
