The Washington County Conference.

The regular quarterly meeting Of Congrega-
tional churches, was held at Waitsfeld, on the
9th inst. All the churches connected with the
Conference were not represented still in the
aggregate, there was a very good number in
attendance. There were present representa-
tives from Waterbury, Montpelier, Berlin,
Roxbury and Worcester. Waitsfeld was rep
resented in goodly numbers. The church Of
Ruxbury set noble example in sending a dele
CATION Of nineteen persons. The opening sermon
was preached by Rev j, Copeland, Of Water
bury, from the words" But Thomas--was not
with them when Jesus came" It set forth the
reasons why Thomas was not with the diciples
when the Savior first appeared to them after his
resurrection, and the blessing he lost by his alb
sence The discourse was the keynote Of the
meeting. Very bountiful refreshments were
furnished in the church during the intermis.
sion, for all who were present. In the after
noon there was a discussion of the topic
" The relation of the prayer room to the pull
pit, which was earnest, and appropriate to
the times. The prayer room helps promote the
spirituality Of the church--the activity of the
church-it aids in the greatdu of life, tends
to the conversion Of the impenitent, suggests
topics for the pulpit, helps to increase the con-
gregation and to make good minister-were
among the thoughts suggested. After this,
the duty Of church members to one another in
our conference, was the theme which brought
out the idea Of intimate fellowship and hearty
cooperation. Mr.. Scofed, young man who
has recently entered the ministry, is laborng
with the church in Worcester with great ac-
cepance, aud very interesting and encourage
ing state Of things was reported. Several
conversions have recently occurred there and
the spiritual tone in both the church and soc-
ETY. is deepening. A meeting of conference
will soon be held with that church, and Mr..
Scofeld will apply for ordination The cheer
ing report from that church, gave decided
impulse to the present meeting All united in
the expression that it was a good meeting,
and it is hoped that they will look forward to
the next with the intention of being present,
and that others in all the churches will he
stimulated in the same direction. The confer
ence ought to move along with strong force.
II all do as well as Waitsfeld and Roxbury
did at this meeting, there will not be lack Of
numbers at any Of our gatherings.
