Report from Bro. Byington.
By John Byington
BRO. WHITE: After leaving home we had meeting Dec. 28, with the church in Bowne. Here, dear brethren manifested their love for the truth by coming quite a distance to an evening meeting. We felt blest while with them. Our meeting the next evening in Vergennes, was encouraging. The following Sabbath and first-day, we had four meetings with the church in Fair Plains. Bro. P. Strong labored with us here. Our brethren in Orleans, some of them being absent from home, made our members less, but we felt the Lord was with us. We closed this meeting by attending the ordinances. Our next meeting was at Wright. There we spent one week and had eight meetings. Dear Bro. Bullard and his wife came out decidedly in the truth and were baptized. We had the Lord's supper. This is a working church. They voted to give their entire s. B. fund to the Conference fund, and forward one hundred and seventy-five dollars. We felt truly blest with this people. We next spent one week with the church in Caledonia. We had five meetings, and visited about every family. This church have suffered the enemy to divide and scatter them. Our business meeting was one of labor and trial, but we think resulted in great good. All agreed to unite again and move forward. Some were not present. We hope they will do the same. We are now at Monterey. JNO. BYINGTON.
