The Western Health--Reform Institute.
By Editor
We send out this week circulars concerning the Health-Reform Institute, to churches, and individuals, who we think have an interest in, and will be prepared to act in reference to, the health-reform question. If any do not receive them who would be glad to, they can be sent on application. The circulars will explain themselves. They are sent out for the purpose of soliciting subscriptions of stock to the Health-Reform Institute, the books for which are now open. Where there are churches, we would suggest that a meeting be called, when the circulars are received, that it may be ascertained at once what will be done by the church in the way of taking shares, and the circulars be immediately returned with the number of shares pledged. This enterprise is so manifestly appropriate at the present time, and in the order of Providence, that we have no doubt it would be carried through triumphantly, even if it was necessary to be done by donations. We expect it will be no less so, when what is called for is not donations, but simply a safe investment of means under the management of as careful and well-qualified brethren as we have among us, and which will in a short time begin to make fair returns to the stock-holders. The matter as presented in the circular has been brought before the church at Battle Creek, and by Bro. Andrews before the Monthly Meeting at Olcott, N. Y., and the result is a subscription of two thousand, six hundred and twenty-five dollars, as acknowledged in the Business department of this paper. Bro. Loughborough will bring the matter more especially before the brethren in the West, and Bro. Andrews in the East, while all our preaching brethren who were at the late Conference here, will be prepared to act as agents in this enterprise. All that is necessary to insure its complete success, is for our brethren everywhere to manifest the same prompt interest that has thus far been shown by all to whose attention the subject has been brought.
