A Conference in Northern Vermont
By E. L. Barr
DEAR BRO. WHITE :—I wish to say that our Conference of two days at this place, has been one of thrilling interest to the saints who came together from a large number of towns in this vicinity. Our Heavenly Father presided over it, from its commencement to its close. The Spirit of the Lord filled the hearts of his waiting people, causing them to rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory. God's power, to preserve soul, body and spirit blameless unto the coming of the Lord Jesus, was made known. The power of the enemy is mighty; but the power of our God is almighty. Many never saw it on this wise before.—It was truly a time of the Lord's power. A number for the first time confessed the truth, with a determination to be purified by obeying it, and to go with the remnant that keep the commandments of God. The third angel's message will soon become a loud cry. The saints begin to realize it, while indications of the latter rain at hand, are thickening on every side. My soul shall rejoice in God for what he has done, and is still doing for his people. It seems as though the remnant in Northern Vermont had heard the command, Move forward, and were obedient. My cry is, Lord speed the remnant on to Mount Zion. Yours, expecting the crown after the trial, E. L. BARR. Johnson, Vt., Jan. 24th, 1853.
