Dear brethren Sutherland and Magan,—
I am made very sad to hear of brother Magan’s illness. I feel sorry as I think of the care and anxiety he has borne for so long. We pray that this sickness may not be unto death. I hope that in the future we shall make haste slowly. It is not wise to allow men to be weighed down by so many wearing responsibilities. The Lord does not require this. Let us learn wisdom from Jethro’s advice to Moses. 16LtMs, Lt 172, 1901, par. 1
I cannot think that Brother Magan will not have another lease of life. When he is restored to health, let him cherish with due care his entrusted capital of health. 16LtMs, Lt 172, 1901, par. 2
We must learn wisdom by the things we suffer. Pray and believe. Have faith in God. May He come nigh to you and abundantly bless you, is my most earnest prayer. 16LtMs, Lt 172, 1901, par. 3
