Counsels on Health
Co-operation of Sanitariums
The Lord will give to our sanitariums whose work is already es-
tablished an opportunity to co-operate with Him in assisting newly
established plants. Every new institution is to be regarded as a sister
helper in the great work of proclaiming the third angel’s message. God
has given our sanitariums an opportunity to set in operation a work
that will be as a stone instinct with life, growing as it is rolled by an
invisible hand. Let this mystic stone be set in motion.
The Lord has instructed me to warn those who in the future es-
tablish sanitariums in new places, to begin their work in humility,
consecrating their abilities to His service. The buildings erected are
not to be large or expensive. Small local sanitariums are to be estab-
lished in connection with our training schools. In these sanitariums
young men and young women of ability and consecration are to be
gathered—those who will conduct themselves in the love and fear of
God, those who, when prepared for graduation, will not feel that they
know all that they need to know, but will diligently study and carefully
practice the lessons given by Christ. The righteousness of Christ will
go before such ones, and the glory of God will be their rearward.
