Sanitariums Needed in Washington and Other Places
Sanitarium, California,
July 5, 1903.
My dear Brethren,
Our people far and near need to ask themselves how the Lord
regards their neglect of important centers in America. There are many
places in this country in which the truth has never been proclaimed.
Many years ago there should have been a sanitarium in Washington,
D.C. But men have chosen their way in many things, and the places to
which the truth should have found entrance, by the establishment of
medical missionary work, have been neglected....
Why have not those who have taken a leading part in medical
missionary work been burdened to carry to Washington the message
of temperance in eating, drinking, and dressing? There would have
been less difficulty in giving the message in this place than in some
other places.
There are many places that need gospel medical missionary work.
Plants should be made in these places. God designs that our sanitari-
ums shall be a means of reaching high and low, rich and poor. They
are to be so conducted that by their work attention will be called to the
message that God has sent to the world. Many will not heed the call
of mercy; nevertheless it is to be given to all, that whosoever will may
come to the water of life and drink.—
