The Kansas Sanitarium

By C. McReynolds

To our people in the Kansas Conference we wish to say: we are living in a day when “intensity is taking hold of every human element,” and great activity is being manifested by God's people who are awake to the interests of his work. Much labor and much means are being called for, and these are being invested, not in mammoth plants, but in many smaller publishing houses, schools, sanitariums, and missionary stations, according to the direction of the Spirit of God. One positive statement is given in these words: “Sanitariums should be established near many of our larger cities.” In harmony with this, and relying upon him who sent us the word, we have undertaken the establishment of the Kansas sanitarium near the city of Wichita. The city has shown more than a commercial interest in the enterprise. Its citizens have undertaken to raise a fund of ten thousand dollars as a gift to the establishment of the institution, and the Kansas Conference has undertaken to raise a fund of the same amount. The conference has raised nearly half, and the city has raised fully as much as we have, or a little more. They purchased the site, a beautiful tract of twenty acres, at a cost of three thousand dollars, and gave an unconditional deed to the conference. Men not of our faith are pushing the work of raising the remainder, all of which they promise to give us by February next. In the next issue of the Kansas Worker will be published the amount previously paid on this ten thousand dollar fund, and all that has been paid since this list was published. While it is our privilege and duty to respond to calls to assist in general work, such as the work in Washington, etc., yet God would not have us overlook the interests of his work in our home conference. Send in contributions of any amount. Make all remittances to the Kansas Conference, 821 W. 5th St., Topeka, Kan.
C. McREYNOLDS, Conference President.
