Editor Pacific Christian Advocate

By Daniel L. Rader

PORTLAND, ORE., Nov. 2, 1910.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: One blessed ministry which Jesus has committed to his church is that of healing the sick; and the sanitariums scattered through the land are endeavoring to carry out his blessed commands. They not only endeavor to heal the body, but also at the same time to bring the patient to a knowledge of the great Healer of souls, and they are succeeding marvelously in their own peculiar way in producing a very competent system of healing, associated with cheerfulness, hopefulness, and confidence in God. I was an inmate of the Portland Sanitarium for three months, and can speak with assurance when I say that a more helpful ministry than that which these people offer to all who put themselves in their care could hardly be desired. They are cheerful, quiet, orderly, careful, and eminently successful. I shall later write exhaustively of my experience and estimation; but I heartily commend the service they render and the work they perform. I take it from my experience in the sanitarium that the book “Ministry of Healing,” is an exemplification of the work done in these sanitariums, and am sure it can be only helpful toward the healing of the sick; therefore I commend it. Though not having had an opportunity of carefully perusing it, I am satisfied it must be in every way helpful and desirable.
