Report from Bro. Hutchins.
By A. S. Hutchins
BRO. WHITE : We reached home last week after an absence of eleven weeks. Sabbath and first-day, March 28 and 29, we spent at Stowe, Vt. By some, the necessity of organization had long been felt here. Six or eight weeks since, the brethren and sisters held a meeting preparatory to organization, in which they shared largely of the presence and blessing of the Holy Spirit, while laboring to remove those obstacles that lay in the way of gospel order. On first-day we assisted in further setting things in order. A church was organized, consisting of nine members. Brethren who have often failed to obtain desired victories here, now feel an earnestness for the mastery, which we trust will result in a perfect victory by assisting grace. The church entered in good earnest upon the plan of systematic benevolence. Third-day P. M. I preached in Wolcott, with freedom. Was glad to see the interest taken here in the Bible Class. Last Sabbath I met with the brethren and sisters in the Quarterly meeting at South Troy. Bro. A. C. Bourdeau was also present. The Spirit of the Lord assisted in speaking the word, and the blessing of heaven rested upon us while attending to the ordinances of the Lord's house. "If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them." John xiii, 17.
