A Call to Earnest, United Effort
By Arthur G. Daniells
We hope all conference officers, ministers, and church elders will earnestly unite with the trustees of the Loma Linda College of Medical Evangelists and the General Conference Committee in working for a large offering for the Loma Linda Hospital. This hospital must be provided in order to give the fourth- and the fifth-year students their necessary work. It is not a matter of desire simply on the part of the faculty and students, but of absolute necessity. One of the ablest surgeons in our ranks, and medical superintendent of one of our sanitariums, has recently visited Loma Linda, and writes as follows about the medical college:— “The past few days I have had the privilege of spending a little time in Loma Linda once more, and I have been very much pleased to observe the progress that has been made in the medical college. The laboratory building and equipment are all that any one could desire. I know their facilities, so far as they have gone, to be far superior to the medical departments of some State universities with which I am acquainted. The teachers are doing good, conscientious, faithful work. I see that ground is now broken for a clinical hospital; and if the same advancement is made in the next year and a half that has been made in the last year and a half, we may expect to see on the school grounds a well-equipped hospital, with ample clinical facilities, in full operation, and owned and controlled by the college.
“With the completion of the contemplated hospital, it will be perfectly possible to give a very thorough medical training at Loma Linda.” From now until the offering is taken Sabbath, March 15, articles will appear in the REVIEW and in the union and local conference papers, giving information regarding all phases of this enterprise, and we earnestly request all our people to give this information careful study. Now is the time to act. There should be no delay.
