GOOD CHEER FROM VERMONT.
By A. S. Hutchins
The good work moves on here. Our prayer and social meeting last Sabbath was a season of encouragement to us all. More than a dozen were with us who have just commenced the observance of the Sabbath. Some of these dear brethren and sisters have long looked for the coming of the Lord. They now feel that the past great Advent movement is made clear, and joyfully accept the third angel’s message. One earnest sister says, “I can now see that I have heretofore read my Bible with goggles on instead of my glasses, while reading on the Sabbath question. Goggles are to shut the light from the eyes.” A brother remarked, “I have read with a prejudiced mind, and I did not dare pray for light, as I did not want my mind unsettled, believing the law to be abolished.” The heart of another brother overflows with joy. Meeting a former brother with whom he entered into conversation on the Sabbath truth, “Why,” said he, “Bro. ———, are you afraid to rest your whole weight on the word of God? I am not.” We hope for the wisdom to move right in all things. A. S. HUTCHINS. Cabot, Vt., July 22, 1878.
