HOME AGAIN.

By James White

PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE.

We reached Battle Creek the night of the 6th, after being absent from Michigan one year, with the exception of two Sabbaths. Of our sojourn in Texas last winter we have reported through the REVIEW. We have also given brief statements of attending camp-meetings in Kansas, Missouri, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Dakota, and of our brief sojourn and labors in Colorado. Returning, we have since labored in camp-meetings in Ohio, Massachusetts, Maine, two in New York, in Michigan, and Indiana.

We need not say that we are worn and weary. Mrs. W. feels the labors of the past year more than the writer. God has been very good in preserving us, and giving us a good degree of health and strength during the past year of care and toil. In many respects Mrs. W.'s general health is in advance of what it was a year ago, and the writer is able to report better health than for several years. God is good.

Of the future, in point of locality and labors, we are not prepared to speak definitely. Our friends will please address us at Battle Creek, Mich., until further notice is given.

The institutions we have labored to build up at Battle Creek are very dear to us, and they need the fostering care that we can give them when not called to other duties. We must give more time to writing for our periodicals, and we still have unfinished books to complete. We may remain in Michigan during the winter, excepting the few coldest weeks, when we may enter an opening made for us in central or southern Indiana. J. W.
