Essex Junction, Vt.

By A. S. Hutchins

LEFT this place yesterday. Others have spoken of our good camp-meeting. As our mind reverts to it, and to the tent-meetings following it, we feel unfeigned gratitude to God for the privileges and blessings we have enjoyed. It afforded us comfort and gave us new courage in the Lord to again meet Bro. and Sr. White at our annual gathering. Their long experience in the work of the Lord, and their devotion to his cause, enable them to present such truths and give such counsel as we greatly need. Brethren and sisters received additional spiritual strength from their labors, while many who heard them were much enlightened on the reasons of our faith and hope. And we think the success attending the labors of Bro. Canright with the tent, the two weeks he remained with us after the camp-meeting, gives emphasis to our request that he should return to this State and labor as long as duty shall demand.
I left ten or eleven keeping the Sabbath as the result of our meetings. Ten associated themselves together as a body of Sabbath-keepers, covenanting to keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus Christ. The brethren and sisters are to hold meetings each Tuesday evening, and at the commencement of the Sabbath, and on Sabbath day. They will also have a Bible-class and Sabbath-school. Eight REVIEWS are taken, and several Health Reformers and Instructors. They have entered in a measure upon our plan of Systematic Benevolence, and expect to join the Tract and Missionary Society. Thus far, all bespeaks worth and union.
Last Sabbath was a good day for the little company of believers here. I spoke to them twice, and held the third meeting as the Sabbath was closing. The presence of brethren and sisters from Bristol, New Haven, Jericho, and elsewhere, gave interest to the meetings. May the blessing of Heaven rest upon this people, and may many other friends be added to their numbers. A. S. HUTCHINS.
