A Personal Appeal

By C. McREYNOLDS

This college and sanitarium have been established by the direction of the Spirit of God. The General Conference Committee has appointed a day for a special collection to be taken in all our churches in the United States and Canada to raise funds for this college—not to pay a debt, but to build a hospital.

The necessity for this building has been explained by others. Our graduates will be debarred from taking the State board medical examination if this hospital is not secured, and it must be done without delay. Brethren and sisters throughout the land, please give consideration to this matter. Prepare for it, and place not dimes only, but dollars—ones, twos, fives, tens, twenties, and up—in this general collection for the hospital. Its purpose is not only to benefit the students now being educated, but to give free treatment to hundreds of sick poor, thus blessing them with a renewal of physical life and bringing them in touch with the influence of the saving truths of the third angel's message.

This letter is an appeal to those with whom I have been associated in the past, from the Gulf of Mexico to the Great Lakes in the north. You have never been called upon to donate to a more worthy or a more needy enterprise than this. Let us lift together, and the result of this one day's work will place the college where it will be recognized by the medical fraternity of America, and enable it to furnish free treatments to many hundreds of poor afflicted ones.
