Loma Linda Day

By William T. Knox

LOMA LINDA MEDICAL COLLEGE, its work and needs, have in recent numbers of the REVIEW AND HERALD, and in the special readings for the second Sabbath service, been very fully set before the denomination. Our need of such an institution for the training of our young people desiring a medical education has also been made evident. The General Conference Committee hope that most careful consideration has been given to these articles, and that the Spirit of God has deeply impressed upon all hearts the importance of this enterprise, and begotten within all a sympathetic interest for our brethren who are immediately responsible for the operating of the college.
All who have visited Loma Linda express themselves as greatly pleased with what has been done in securing the necessary facilities. The buildings are neat and substantial, and of the character best suited for the work to be done. Other facilities must be added, however, some of them at once, in order to meet the requirements of the different State boards of medical examiners. Otherwise the graduating students will not have a standing with any of these boards, and will not be admitted to examination.
All feel to heartily commend the college board for the stand it has taken, that, urgent as is the need for these facilities, it will supply them only as it has money and can do so without creating further debt. The hospital building, which must be supplied immediately, will require about $20,000. It is for this that the General Conference now appeals to the churches for a liberal offering, Sabbath, March 15. Recognizing the need, let us honor the position taken by our brethren in Loma Linda against further debt making, by coming to their assistance in a most substantial offering. Let us not be satisfied with an offering totaling less than an average of fifty cents a member from every church, and let church and conference treasurers hurry the offerings forward, that the work may be done at once.
