Note from Bro. Sanborn.
By Isaac Sanborn
As I have often heard it said of some of my preaching brethren, so perhaps it has been said of me, Why does not Bro. Sanborn report himself, that we may know where he is and what he is doing? Allow me to say, for the same reason that Jesus took the disciples and went into a desert place, namely, to rest awhile. I came home on the last day of April, calculating to remain at home till after Conference. My labors having been very constant for about two years as the following items for eighteen months will show. I have preached three hundred and ninety-five sermons, and traveled more than six thousand miles, besides attending prayer, social, and business meetings. Through this constant labor I began to feel weak and care-worn; but now for six weeks I have been at home laboring with my hands every day, Sabbaths excepted, and the providence of God surrounding me, my strength has increased wonderfully and I begin to feel like going out again to labor for the salvation of souls. But into what part of this great harvest field shall I go? the calls are numerous. How shall I decide? May the Lord help, is my prayer. I hope to spend this summer mostly in new fields. Will the scattered brethren and sisters of Wisconsin and Illinois renew their calls for labor immediately, giving directions how we may find them.
