NOTE FROM BRO. WAGGONER.
By J. H. Waggoner
I esteem it a great privilege to say that my health is greatly improved, for which I feel truly thankful to God. From the time of my labors in Lapeer and Oakland up to the close of the Conference I had fears that I should not be able to do much, if any thing, the present season. My nervous system, and thereby, my head, were seriously affected, and it became almost impossible to rest enough to restore my mind to its balance. In such a case I find diversion a substitute for rest; a few days of moderate out-door labor with entire abstinence from study or mental labor will enable me soon to get sufficient refreshing sleep. I am thankful also for the opportunity I enjoyed about two weeks at the Health Institute of learning the way more perfectly to care for my health. And I promise the brethren who have taken so deep and kind an interest in me to endeavor more strictly to conform to these rules while trying to labor in this work. My greatest difficulty is to get timely and sufficient rest. Above all I desire a more perfect consecration to this work, more of the love of God in my heart, and wisdom to unite zeal and fervor of spirit with prudent moderation of action.
