Elder Waggoner Leaves Oakland
By Editor
THURSDAY, June 3, Elder J. H. Waggoner left Oakland for the East. We are glad indeed that he has so far recovered from his late prostration, as to be able to travel, yet almost sorry that it is so, for we knew that as soon as he had gained sufficient strength it would take him from us, perhaps permanently. For nearly eight years, since Nov. 21, 1878, Elder Waggoner has been the editor of the SIGNS OF THE TIMES. We are sorry that now we must suffer the loss of his present counsel and management. But we know that his thought, his sympathy, and his prayers, will ever be with us and for the prosperity of this mighty agent in the cause in which he has labored so long. We are thankful for this, and also that we shall have the benefit of his correspondence. We devoutly hope that God may graciously add unto him strength and years to devote to the work in which so much of his life has been spent, and crown him at the last with everlasting life and eternal glory.
