Bro. E. Everts writes from New Haven, Vt., Nov 21st, 1852:—"I would say that comfort flows into the willing souls of the dear children in this vicinity, from contemplating the manifestation of the power, presence, and goodness of our heavenly Father, to us at the Conference held at Panton, when you was with us. Although the adversary thrust hard at the dear children, and succeeded in throwing them into temporary trials, but, thanks be unto the Lord, out of them all, I trust they are delivered.

We have had a melting, searching and encouraging meeting at my house the past Sabbath. I praise the Lord for the good seasons that we have had of late. The saints have gained much strength. A dear brother and sister have recently embraced the present truth, and are very strong in it, and rejoicing in the great light that they see. O, how wonderful it is to see such honest souls, who knew nothing by experience of the former messages, move out so understandingly, and are so bold in our present position. Truly the Lord is doing a great work for us here. O may he help us to be humble and watchful. I pray that the Lord may keep you unto his coming and kingdom."

Nov. 29th.—"We have just closed an excellent Conference. It was truly a feast of "meat in due season." Dear Bro. Bates has been and is still with us. He has held forth the truth, and it was accompanied with power. Praise the Lord, it has comforted the dear children, and a deep impression was made on the minds of many that came in to hear. I can truly say that omens of good, and an advancement of the cause is apparent. I think that the blessing that attended the Panton Conference is still resting upon us."
