Elder R. A. Campbell and J. M. Tanner's Faithful Missions

“On the 26th of November Elders R. A. Campbell and J. M. Tanner departed from these shores per Guion S. S. Alaska, for their homes in Zion. For the past two years Elder Campbell has labored faithfully in the business depart- ment of this Office, and by his uniform kindness, ability, and strict attention to business, he has lightened the labors of the Presidency of this Mission, won the esteem of all with whom he has come in contact, has become especi- ally endeared to his fellow associates in this Office, and has filled an honor- able mission. To fill a mission in the business department of the Liverpool Office. means two years of hard work, without those advantages of self- improyement enjoyed by the brethren who are traveling and preaching the Gospel; but it is a labor that is necessary, and the labors of those who engage in it are just as acceptable to God as the efforts of those who preach the word. Elder Campbell has filled the post assigned him to the entire satisfaction of the Presidency of this Mission, and we believe also to the satisfaction of hisGod, For two or three months previous to his departure, Elder Campbell had an opportunity of visiting various parts of the British Mission and laboring among the Saints and Elders—a priviledge he highly esteemed. Elder Tanner, as is well known to the readers of the Bran has labored to establish a Mission in Turkey and the surrounding countries. He met with some success among the German population of Palestine, and leaves two Elders to.carry on the work he was the instrument in the hands of God of beginning. He has labored faithfully for more than three years, and has filled an honorable mission. We pray that the blessings of Almighty God may attend these brethren, giving them a safe and pleasant journey to their families and friends in Zion, and preserve their lives for many years to labor in the interest of humanity. — Millennial Star 49:49.”
