Fitchburg Meetings and Baptisms

By A. S. Hutchison; L. B. Burdick

Princeton, Mass., July 14th, 1859.

P. S. Our meetings in Fitchburgh have closed. Yesterday, (first-day,) our congregation was not large, but very attentive to the truths advanced. Three or four were present who have formerly preached the second advent faith. We believe that a very good impression was left on the mind of the friends in this section, who have heard the evidences of our position.

At the close of the meeting we repaired to the water, where five were buried with Christ in baptism. May the Spirit of the Lord help each of them to walk "in newness of life."

We believe our brethren and sisters were all satisfied that our meetings here will prove a blessing to the church. We hope and trust they may. Our prayer is that all may strive for the gathering, saving and sanctifying Spirit.

A. S. H. L. B.
