Sanitarium Training Centers

By W. A. S.

OUR sanitariums are coming to be a strong department of our training-school system for missionary workers. The Boulder (Col.) Sanitarium, for example, last month graduated a class of twelve. Already two of the class are abroad; one is on the way to the Foreign Mission Seminary, with India in view; and others, who for a time are entering home work, expect to get into mission fields in due time. Next year's class is a large one, and with almost one thought they have the mission fields in view. Boulder has made a strong feature of its nurses' training class, and is now represented in all parts of the foreign field.

With all our hearts we should rally round our sanitarium training centers, not only for the work they do in healing the sick and educating the world in the principles of health and temperance, but also for the strong work they are doing in training workers to go out into pioneer service in the mission fields. These conference institutions are training-schools as verily as our colleges. All these facilities, properly supported by our efforts and our prayers, mean quick work in the preparation of missionaries. No other missionary bodies have such a complete system for the raising of recruits for service. It is because of the swift progress to be made with the last message that the Lord has so armed us for the work. W. A. S.
