Washington Sanitarium and Tent Meeting Songs

By Editor

In the issue of the Washington Times for Sunday, July 26, there appeared an illustrated article occupying a full page, giving a complete description of our sanitarium at Takoma Park. We quote the closing paragraph:—

Of all the sixty-six sanitariums of the Adventists, probably none of them have so fine or so beautiful a site as the Washington one. The situation is ideal for a health resort, and during the long summer months there is a difference of temperature of from ten to twenty degrees between the city and Takoma Park, which is even closer to the city than the Washington Sanitarium.

Such a write-up as this will do much to make known to the people of Washington and vicinity the facilities and attractions of the Washington Sanitarium.

For some time there has been a demand for a collection of songs, especially adapted for use in tent-meetings. A committee was appointed last year to give this matter study and to arrange for such a collection, the price of which should be low enough to enable each tent company to supply its congregation with the books. Soon after this, arrangements were perfected for bringing out a revised and enlarged edition of “Christ in Song;” and in view of this plan the General Conference Committee has decided to recommend the abridged collection of the new edition of “Christ in Song” for use in tent-meetings, instead of following the original plan for bringing out a new book. Those desiring a supply of these books can secure them through the regular channels as soon as they are ready.
