Professor Prescott Takes Rest

By Editor

BEING somewhat broken down physically as a result of Sister Prescott's sickness and death, Prof. W. W. Prescott finds it necessary to go aside for a short time in order to gain the needed rest, and has accordingly gone to Maine for the summer. Brother Prescott has been under a severe strain of work for many years, and has often labored beyond his strength in the discharge of the heavy responsibilities resting upon him. Particularly has this been true in the removal to Washington, with the consequent inconvenience and lack of proper help and facilities in building up the work in a new place. In all these changes, and in the trials through which this movement has passed during that time, our brother has stood as a faithful sentinel, loyal to the cause of this message. He deserves a rest from these burdens, and we only wish that it did not have to be taken under the cloud of a great sorrow. Let the prayers of all attend him, that he may soon be restored to physical vigor, and again take his place in the active prosecution of this movement to which he has dedicated his life. To all those who have written and telegraphed him so kindly, he desires us to express his appreciation of their sympathy, as he has been unable to answer the letters received. Any mail addressed to him as usual will be forwarded. As he finds time and strength, Brother Prescott will continue his contributions to the editorial columns of the REVIEW.

“DISHONORING the Flag,” “The Causes of the Great War Between Russian and Japan,” “What It Means for the President of a Republic to Visit Rome,” and many other interesting articles go to make up the July Watchman. This magazine contains excellent matter, is well illustrated, and should meet with a hearty reception by all.
