India Sanitarium Work Suspended

THE India Mission had hoped that the growth of the $300,000 Fund would be such that provision could be made for permanent quarters for the India Sanitarium. The Mission Board was compelled to notify them that this was impossible, however. The brethren take it courageously, and have decided that it is better to suspend sanitarium work for a time, rather than to go on in the quarters which had proved unsatisfactory. Dr. H. C. Menkel writes:—

“It seemed, therefore, that there was nothing else to do but close down the work until such time as means is in hand with which to secure a suitable property and equip the same for effective work; and I trust the action which we have been compelled to take will result in our people in the home land seeing the urgent necessity of raising the $300,000 Fund as soon as possible, that similar action may not need to be taken in other fields. We can not afford to take any backward steps; this message must advance.”
