The Cause in Vermont.

By A. S. Hutchins

BRO. WHITE: I would say that our meeting here last Sabbath and first-day, was truly an interesting and we hope profitable season. Brethren and sisters were together from the surrounding towns and churches. One brother came about eighty miles to meet with us, and felt well paid for the pains he had taken to enjoy another meeting with the people of God.

Organization was completed in the church here and four more were added to our number.

The subject of holding meetings in regular order in the churches in Sutton, Wolcott, Johnson and Eden, Troy and Irasburgh and Charleston, was considered. By a unanimous vote, the conference recommend the five above-named churches to unite in holding meetings at each place, once in fifteen weeks, bringing a meeting to one of these churches once in three weeks. As there are five churches that wish to unite in this order, and as the same church sometimes hold their weekly meetings in one town and sometimes in another, it was deemed best to hold these meetings once in three weeks rather than once in four weeks.

Our meeting closed with a melting and refreshing season in attending the ordinances of the Lord's house.

A. S. HUTCHINS.
