Report from Bro. Bourdeau.
By D. T. Bourdeau
Bro. White : The coming of Brn. Loughborough and Pierce was timely, and their labors among us were appreciated. We felt like saying, Speak, Lord, through whom thou wilt, only let thy name be glorified. Let the cause advance, and the church be strengthened, and encouraged and built up in their most holy faith. Sabbath, the 12th inst., met with the Richford church in Sutton, C. E. Had a good time in speaking on true conversion. Three of the youth took a stand for the truth. As I returned home I learned that my brother had enjoyed freedom with the church in Fairfield, and that one more had spoken in favor of the truth. Last Sabbath, met again with the Richford church, and dwelt on some of those characteristics which make us a peculiar people. I also tried to show the difference between the present work and the work of the nominal churches. I was glad to see the youth still encouraged to press on with God's people. Yesterday (Sunday), had a free time in reviewing a discourse by a Methodist revival preacher on the reasons for keeping the first day. We were encouraged in seeing the interest manifested by the brethren in scattering our works. Hope that good will result from this effort to defend the truth.
