Bro. Burr:
I have been preaching for some four months past with the New Hampton and Meredith church. I have had good congregations on the Sabbath, (for the place and weather.) For some three months of the time, I attended about five evening meetings in a week, and some were hopefully converted and others reclaimed.
Some three weeks ago we commenced a protracted meeting, which has resulted in a glorious reformation. The church has been revived, and about forty souls converted and reclaimed. We have had but little preaching during the meeting. "The people had a mind to work."
Bro. Reed assisted during the meeting. We also had some help from brethren Fernald, Fisk, Tracy, and Gardner, which was very acceptable.
The glory all belongs to God.
Yours with respect.
Asa Randlet.
