The Buffalo (N. Y.) Sanitarium
By W. A. SPICER
The Buffalo Sanitarium Training-school for Nurses held its second commencement exercises October 19. The graduates numbered four, a good number for a small institution to turn out into missionary service after hard work and thorough training. And the Christian and missionary idea was foremost in the papers presented by the graduates. The exercises were held in the gymnasium of the little institution, and this and the dining-hall were filled with members of the Buffalo church, and with friends and patrons of the sanitarium. Quite a number of the audience were Roman Catholics, and they certainly had an opportunity to hear of the coming of the Lord and the meaning of the missionary movement which this message represents. The four graduates represented four nationalities, the Irish, German, Scandinavian, and Jewish. I was impressed that they mean to make their training count in the cause we love. It is certainly encouraging to find these little sanitariums, while teaching and treating the sick, also training and sending into the field of service young men and women who have consecrated their lives to the message. Dr. and Sister Saterlee, who have charge of the sanitarium and training-school, guided the exercises and demonstrations of the evening, while Elder Weber, now laboring in Buffalo, and myself gladly joined in the program. The motto of the class was, “Where Suffering Calls,” and we bid Godspeed to these young people as they go to answer the call.
