Foreign Papers and Sydney Sanitarium Finances
It will be remembered that it was decided, after the fire, to remove the foreign papers, Christlicher Hausfreund, Evangeliets Sendebud, and Sions Vaktare, to College View, Neb. It has taken a little time to fit up the office with suitable type and other facilities for the publication of these papers, but they are now being issued regularly from their new location. We congratulate the editors on the creditable appearance of their respective papers. At the opening of the Sydney Sanitarium the treasurer, Brother J. A. Burden, presented the following financial statement, which we believe will be of interest to our readers:— REC'D ON BUILDING FUND £ s. d.
From friends in Australia......2,440 14 0
From friends in America.......2,043 16 4
On second tithe...............1,474 4 7
Sabbath-schools.................201 7 7
Royalty on medical books.......333 3 9
Loans........................2,150 0 0
£8,643 6 3
EXPENSES £ s. d.
Material and labor......7,191 17 5
Furnishing and medical
appliances...........1,262 1 0
£8,453 18 5
Cash on hand..............189 7 10
£8,643 6 3 It thus appears that the total investment at the time of the report was a little over forty-one thousand dollars. In presenting this report the treasurer said: “We take this opportunity to thank the friends for their liberal support in the past, and hope that they will not forget that the institution is still but a babe, to be nourished and cared for if it is to grow into a strong institution.”
