Going East.

By James White

Not realizing the desired benefit from a winter's sojourn in California, we decided the next best thing for us to do was to spend June and July at the Sanitarium under the care of Dr. Kellogg. In company with Brother Gillett, we left Oakland, California, Friday, May 31, 1878. This journey we have dreaded very much, but Providence has been better to us than all our fears. Thus far the journey has been more comfortable and pleasant than we expected to find it. The weather has been cool, we have rode in sight of snow the most of the way. As we write acres of snow are before us. Frequent rains all the way since leaving Sacramento have completely laid the dust, and we have but two more nights out, when we expect to sleep in our good home in Battle Creek, Mich. We are not going to work at present. Our first business is to rest, recreate and get well. Dear brethren, let your prayers unite with ours that the means employed may be effectual.
