Battle Creek, July 9

By J. H. Waggoner

Withdrawal:

To those brethren to whom I have promised to hold meetings in their neighborhoods, I wish to say that I now feel it duty to withdraw such promises. This I do by the advice of the physicians, who inform me that my practice of attending monthly meetings or of holding meetings part of the time will not only keep me weak and comparatively useless, but result in entire prostration; and that my only chance of recovery and of future usefulness is to abstain from preaching and as far as possible from mental exercise, and to let all of my labor be out of doors and with my hands. I much regret the necessity for this course, but the necessity exists, and it is better to act in reference to it now than to put it off till my recovery becomes hopeless. J. H. Waggoner.
