Agricultural Advantages
The Lord permitted fire to consume the principal buildings of the
Review and Herald and the sanitarium, and thus removed the greatest
objection urged against moving out of the Battle Creek. It was His
design that instead of rebuilding the one large sanitarium, our people
should make plants in several places. These smaller sanitariums should
have been established where land could be secured for agricultural
purposes. It is God’s plan that agriculture shall be connected with the
work of our sanitariums and schools. Our youth need the education to
be gained from this line of work. It is well, and more than well,—it
is essential,—that efforts be made to carry out the Lord’s plan in this
respect.—
