HOT SPRINGS.—The short article in the REVIEW a few weeks ago by L. T. Hanson has brought to me several letters of inquiry. In addition to what Brother Hanson has already said, I would say that Hot Springs is both a home and a foreign mission field. We have about one hundred thousand visitors annually. Some come seeking pleasure, but many seeking health, who for this reason are in a condition to receive spiritual help and instruction. The time certainly demands that this place be occupied in a way that will rightly represent the truth.
Our conference is not able to do this work, and with the present demands made upon our union conference and the General Conference, it seems best not to ask for help from these sources. Are there not those who love the truth, and have means that they would like to invest, themselves working with that means in helping to give the message in this place?
The health work furnishes the natural entering wedge. Our health literature should be continually circulated by competent and well-qualified persons. We should have a hygienic café. In connection with this we should have a large reading-room, furnished with our periodicals, tracts, and books, in different languages.
If any who read this feel moved by the Spirit of God to do such a work, I will gladly correspond with such. If any desire to contribute money for this work, they can send it to C. J. Dart, treasurer Arkansas Conference, Fayetteville, Ark., or to the undersigned, stating that it is for the work in Hot Springs. My address is 305 Henry Ave., Hot Springs, Ark. A. P. HEACOCK.
