Bro. White: Our last Quarterly Meeting for Franklin Co., Vt., which was held last Sabbath and first-day at West Enosburgh, and which to us was a farewell meeting with the brethren and sisters of Enosburgh and vicinity, was encouraging indeed. Nine were added to the church, five of whom have received the third message since the general meeting held here in October by Bro. and Sr. White and Bro. Loughborough. Systematic Benevolence was reconsidered for the year 1865, and as far as we were able to judge, the brethren and sisters came up nobly and cheerfully to the plan of s. b. as recently set forth by Bro. White in the Review. The figures on s. b. were raised from $160,00 to $264,00. Our business meeting was held evening after the Sabbath, and was followed by a sweet and refreshing season in attending to the ordinances of the Lord's house. We are about to separate, but not in spirit, neither55in our affections, one to join with Bro. Stone on a tour in Northern Vt., and Canada East, and the other to join with Bro. Pierce on a tour in Southern Vt., Massachusetts and New Hampshire. We leave, feeling a strong attachment to the church at home, and expecting to be remembered by them at the throne of grace and would solicit an interest in the prayers of all those who are interested in the advancement of the cause of truth, for which we would cheerfully labor and suffer.
