Dedication of the Wabash Valley (Ind.) Sanitarium

By W. J. Stone

THIS service was held according to appointment on Sunday afternoon, May 31. The mayor of the city delivered a short address, in which he extended a warm welcome to our people and the institution to the vicinity of La Fayette. He was followed with a very able address by Mr. Thompson, one of the leading attorneys of La Fayette, who has been acquainted with our people. He spoke highly of the work which we are doing throughout the world. Elder W. J. Stone made a few remarks in regard to the founding of the institution.
Elder A. G. Daniells, president of the General Conference, delivered the main address, a synopsis of which follows this article. He was followed by Dr. Kress, superintendent of the Washington (D. C.) Sanitarium. Everything passed off pleasantly, the only hindrance being that the weather was a little cool. Quite a number from the city, and a goodly number of our brethren and sisters from different points throughout the State, were present. All seemed delighted with the buildings and grounds, and spoke in the highest terms of the place.
The building is a model of neatness, but there is no extravagance displayed, either in outward adornment or the furnishings. The walks and the drives surrounding the building are now practically completed, and the attention of the management will be given to advertising the institution, and filling it with patients. We believe it will be only a short time before the institution will be filled with a good class of patients.
I think I can truthfully say that not a person has entered the new sanitarium who has not received great benefit, and all are well pleased. We trust that our brethren and sisters throughout the conference will do all they can to send patients to the institution, and pray that God's healing power may be manifested in a special manner in restoring to health all who come. W. J. STONE.
