The Opening of the Missionary Acre Campaign
By P. T. Magan
At the Battle Creek Sanitarium
THE doctors, nurses, and helpers of the Battle Creek Sanitarium have already started their work in behalf of the Missionary Acre Fund. A general meeting of the Sanitarium family was held in the new chapel on the evening of May 24. Practically all the members of the Sanitarium family were present at this meeting. It was unanimously decided that one hundred and fifty thousand tomato plants should be set out and attended through the summer, and the crop be devoted to the Missionary Acre Fund. The doctors, nurses, and helpers agreed to take care of two hundred plants apiece. All realized that working in the soil, and giving the proceeds of their labor for the benefit of God's cause, was one of the noblest ways of taking outdoor exercise. A few days ago the writer was in Battle Creek, and, in company with Drs. Morse and Harris, went out to the tomato field early in the morning. It was an inspiring sight to see one hundred or more helpers hard at work, and every one enjoying it. A number of the patients were also out, even at that early hour, taking part in the enterprise. Thus God is blessing, and results are bound to follow. P. T. MAGAN.
