Letter from brother Baldwin
Dear Brother Murray:
Since the Convention at Brandon. in
October, have been engaged in protracted
meetings. held meetings in Enosburgh,
Fairfield, and Fairfax. In those meetings
there were something like fifty hopeful con-
versions, and number have been baptized
attended the Quarterly Meeting of the
DaLville Association, at Eaton, L. C. AS
they were destitute Of Westinghouse, the |
brethren fitted up log shed that would !
hold six or seven hundred persons. And it |
would seem that they had done it in faith |
that God would come by his spirit and con-
vert sinners. Christians of diferent de-
nominations were prepared TO labor for God.
The people came together in crowds. The
building at times was filed to overlooking.
The spirit was poured out Sinners began
to cry to know what they should do 10 be
saved. The meeting continued 10 days,
and there were from 40 10 SO hopeful con-
versions. Brother Nichols has spent some
time there since, and baptized Is, and some
have united with other denominations.
| next commenced meeting at Swanton.
The Baptist church were very low They
had not enjoyed a general revival in 20
years! The first day Of the m Getting there
were only 9 persons together. Yet we
commenced our meeting, and went on. The
people soon began to flock to the house of
God. The house is very large, and before
the meeting closed it was filled to overflow
ing. The spirit came like a mighty rush
ing wind. Before the meeting closed, the
people in the vicinity generally suspended
their business and came in. | was inform
ed that six schools were closed for the sake
: of teachers and scholars, who wished to
attend the meeting, number of whom
lwere converted. The meeting continued
! 90 days, and the revival was one of the
most powerful | have witnessed. Some
" thing like 20 pro(essed to experience religion
during the meeling-about one half of then
" heads of families.
