Loma Linda Hospital Day

By Editor

THE announcement of an offering in all our churches for the benefit of the clinical hospital to be erected in connection with the College of Medical Evangelists in Loma Linda, Cal., is enlisting the serious attention of our people. A hearty interest in this enterprise is developing throughout the field. Many have expressed their pleasure for an opportunity to manifest their interest in a material manner in the work at that important center.

Our church officers will be supplied with data and information regarding the work, which will enable them to place the situation before our churches. Twenty thousand dollars is the least that is required for the erection of a hospital building. Our brethren at Loma Linda are determined to incur no further indebtedness in the operation of their work. They are dependent upon donations for the further promotion of the enterprise. They look with concern to the coming offering, wondering if their hopes will be realized in the response of our people.

As has been stated, the erection of this hospital is an absolute necessity to the continuance of the medical school. Without it the graduates of the institution will not be permitted to take the State board examinations for medical practise.

The brethren at Loma Linda have donated most liberally to the work that has been established. They stand there as our representatives. They are not promoting an enterprise of personal concern. The medical school is a denominational institution. The servant of the Lord has spoken directly with reference to the support that should be accorded it. Let all esteem it a privilege to have a part in the upbuilding of this splendid enterprise which promises so much in the development of laborers for this work.
