REPORT FROM BRO. HUTCHINS.
By A. S. Hutchins
BRo. SMITH: After our meetings in Canaan we went to Paris, where we found a few looking for that blessed hope and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.' On our way to this place we spent one night at Wilton with Bro. Bartlett, where we found a good place to rest our weary bodies. Our visit with this family, though short, was a choice one. Bro. and Sr. B. seem to love the truth, and also those who love it. Our meetings with the little church in Paris were interesting, and we think profitable. The few Sabbath-keepers here hold meetings every Sabbath. Here I parted with Bro. C. Woodman, who had been with me ten days, piloting me from place to place, and trying to help and comfort the children of God in their homeward journey. May a fervent love for the truth continue to burn in his heart. We spent five Sabbaths in Maine. Endeavoured to do what we could to encourage the dear brethren and sisters to press forward for the unspeakable reward of eternal life, which is so quickly to be given. We feel very grateful for the acquaintance formed with our dear brethren and sisters in this State. We trust it may prove profitable to us and them. May He who remembers every cup of cold water given to his disciples, remember and graciously reward them. I have long felt a desire to visit the churches in Maine. This was my first opportunity. I should have been very glad to visit other places and doubtless should had my health been better. We left Maine to meet Bro. and Sr. White in Salem, Mass., where we were happy to meet them again. South Lancaster, Mass., Sept. 29th, 1859.
