Notes From the Melrose Sanitarium

By J. G. WHITE

THE vacancies in our faculty have recently been filled by Miss Laura Lacey, who came from Sanitarium, Cal., to work as superintendent of nurses, and Dr. John Hopkins, from Madison, Wis., as assistant physician. These workers are already doing efficient service.

An ever-increasing spirit of consecration seems to be working upon the hearts of our family. November 4, twenty-one were buried in baptism by Elder Gosmer, who recently connected with the institution as assistant chaplain. Some of these were cases of rebaptism and some were baptized for the first time. A most earnest and devoted spirit prevails in the family and faculty, and the future is bright for the institution and its workers.

The Lord has been steadily at work for the last few weeks, restoring to health, in answer to prayer, a dear sister, a former graduate, for whom we had no hope apart from God. This causes us much joy.

Our family recently subscribed for twenty-one hundred Harvest Ingathering Signs. We shall do our best to dispose of this number, but in sanitarium work it is difficult to send out a large number of workers, as the patients must be cared for and the regular work performed.

The financial accomplishments of the institution during 1910 were phenomenal compared with former years, but so far 1911 is a little in advance of 1910. During the week just closed the earnings of the institution were greater than those of any other week in its entire history. The house is now nearly full of patients and the prospect is excellent. Pray for us that we may live right before, and deal properly with, those who come to us.
