We hope our brethren will give particular attention to Bro. Walker's appeal in another column for means to prosecute the work on the new building at the Health Institute.

We have arrived at a point where funds must be furnished immediately, or the work must stop. We believe our brethren have that interest in this work that they will not suffer it to be hindered for want of means.

We have already made a good beginning on the building; the greater share of the materials are bought and paid for; competent builders are on the ground and have the work in charge; and now shall we, for the want of a few thousand dollars to erect the building and finish off a part immediately, as Bro. W. proposes, be obliged to abandon the enterprise? We cannot afford to do this. Time, in this cause, is worth too much. The Institute is now full of patients, and plenty more are ready to come, just as soon as we shall be ready to receive them.

We therefore earnestly hope and pray that a prompt and hearty response will be given to our call for means, that the immediate wants of the cause may be supplied. J. M. A.
