Remember Brother Waggoner and His Family

WE would call the attention of the brethren and sisters to the afflicted state of Bro. Waggoner's family. One of his children, as will be remembered from the obituary in No. 18, was removed from him by death, Sept. 11th. Since then, four others of his children have been attacked with the prevailing fever of this season, and brought very low. Though some of them, at last accounts, had passed the crisis, they were all still in a state to need unremitting care and attention. A scarcity of help has thrown upon him the care and burden of watching with the sick day and night, until he is fast being reduced to utter prostration and disease himself. We need only mention these facts to enlist in his behalf the earnest sympathy and prayers of every member of that body which is so constituted that when one member suffers all the other members suffer with it. Remember Bro. Waggoner and his family. Important fields are awaiting his labors. We are taught to pray the Lord of the harvest to raise up laborers to go forth into the field. Should we not still more earnestly cry that those already raised up be not hindered from the work? His address is Burlington, Calhoun Co., Mich.
