Testimonies for the Church Volume 6
Our sanitariums are to show forth to the world the benevolence of
heaven; and though Christ’s visible presence is not discerned in the
building, yet the workers may claim the promise: “Lo, I am with you
alway, even unto the end of the world.”

The promises of God to Israel are also for the institutions estab-
lished today for the glory of His name: “Thus saith the Lord the maker
thereof, the Lord that formed it, to establish it; the Lord is His name;
Call unto Me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty
things, which thou knowest not. For thus saith the Lord, the God
of Israel, concerning ... this city. Behold, I will bring it health and
cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance
of peace and truth.... And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity....
And it shall be to Me a name of joy, a praise and an honor before all
the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do unto
them.” “In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell
safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The Lord
our Righteousness.”
Jeremiah 33:2-9, 16
