Nashville Sanitarium

By O. M. Hayward

We are glad to report another list of donations. These have been received since our last report. We feel grateful for every penny, as it is that much toward the answering of our prayers and toward providing a home for our growing work.
We are very busy, but there are many interesting experiences which show clearly that He who has promised that divine power should be coupled with human effort, has not forgotten his promise. We see, daily, things accomplished which nothing but the power of God could accomplish, and we give him the glory.
Some of our friends have visited us of late, and nearly every one has made some such remark as the following: “If you can carry such a sanitarium work as this under these conditions and with these facilities, what could you not do if you had a good building, well equipped?” We replied that this work here only shows how the Lord can do something with nothing.
A prominent gentleman from the city, when here for his treatment the other night, said, “Well, this place must be on a boom.” And another, a prominent merchant, said last night, “You are growing right along; I am glad of it. I hear nothing but good words for you. My son will be around in a day or so.” A well-known lady said yesterday, “You folks are going to take the whole place here.” We replied, “No; we are only going to take as much of it as we can benefit.”
It is pretty hard to see how the work grows, but it grows. We attribute it to the Lord’s blessing. But, dear friends, what do you think of one of the Lord’s sanitariums, and one which he is blessing daily, without a home? Do not you think it would be a good plan to send in the donations a little faster, and put this work under suitable shelter before cold weather comes? The Testimony says of the workers in the Nashville Sanitarium, “Now they must have help.”
