Mission Workers’ Health and Return

WE regret to learn that Elder R. A. Underwood, president of the Central Union Conference, has been quite seriously sick within the last month, suffering from what was feared to be a slight stroke of apoplexy. At last reports, Brother Underwood was so far recovered as to be able again to be about, and we earnestly hope that he may be strengthened for the heavy responsibilities which rest upon him. For many years Brother Underwood has been a faithful standard bearer in this movement. He has carried heavy and taxing burdens. Let our readers pray that he may be spared many years to continue with the work to which he has so faithfully given his life.

ACTING on the counsel of the Mission Board, Elder J. J. Westrup, of China, has returned to the United States to join his family, landing in this country the last of June. He had continued in the field alone nearly three years, hoping that Mrs. Westrup's health might enable her to enter the field as she desired, but for the present at least her condition is such as to deny them the privilege of working in the field of their first choice.
