VERMONT T. AND M. SOCIETY.
By Thomas H. Purdon
According to appointment in REVIEW, the Vermont T. and M. Society held its quarterly meeting at Jericho, July 20, 1878. Owing to the unusual interest in the tent-meetings at Cabot, the president was not with us. A few brethren from other churches came quite a distance to attend the meeting; and although we were disappointed in not having preaching, yet we felt that the blessing of God rested upon our efforts to worship him. All expressed their love for the truth and their desire to do more in the Master's vineyard. The good news from the work in Vermont, as well as from other portions of the great harvest field, was cheering to all. Our business meeting was held in the evening. After the usual opening exercises, the report of the previous quarter was read and accepted. The following report for the quarter ending July 1 does not include all the work performed, as some of the districts had not reported:— |
