Bro. White's Sickness.

By John Norton Loughborough; John Nevins Andrews

We deem it expedient on the part of all our people, to spend a day of fasting and prayer for Bro. White's recovery, that he may be raised up to fill that place in this cause to which God has so evidently called him.

It is now some six weeks since Bro. White was prostrated. He has gained but slowly, and is not yet out of danger; but has strong faith that God will raise him up. Before leaving Battle Creek to go to Dansville, while a few friends were bowed with Bro. and Sr. White in prayer, he obtained the most unmistakable evidence that it was duty to go.

We now designate Sabbath, Oct. 14th, as a day of fasting and prayer, for Bro. White's recovery. We suggest that a good topic for the day will be the connection of Bro. and Sr. White with the cause of present truth.
