Health Institute

point, while the managers of the Health Institute work from a religious
standpoint, acknowledging God as their proprietor. They do not labor
selfishly for means alone, but for the sake of Christ and humanity.
They are seeking to benefit suffering humanity, to heal the diseased
mind as well as the suffering body, by directing invalids to Christ, the
sinner’s Friend. They do not leave religion out of the question, but
make God their trust and dependence. The sick are directed to Jesus.
After the physicians have done what they can in behalf of the sick, they
ask God to work with their efforts and restore the suffering invalids
to health. This He has done in some cases in answer to the prayer of
faith. And this He will continue to do if they are faithful and put their
[185]
trust in Him. The Health Institute will be a success, for God sustains
it. And if His blessing attends the Institute, it will prosper and will
be the means of doing a great amount of good. Other institutions are
aware that a high standard of moral and religious influence exists at
our Institute. They see that its conductors are not actuated by selfish,
worldly principles, and they are jealous in regard to its commanding
and leading influence.
