Sacrificing for a Sanitarium
We find the following note in a recent issue of The Missionary Worker, published in London. We believe that it will interest our readers:— “We believe the following letter just received by Dr. Olsen, sufficiently interesting to justify its insertion in the Missionary Worker. Let us hope that this spirit of self-sacrifice may take hold of all our children, and of the parents as well. Then we shall soon have a sanitarium.” “Dear Doctor: I am sending you one shilling sixpence for to help buy the sanitarium. I was saving up to get a cornet like Mr. Champness, but I thought I would wait and help you to get the sanitarium first, so that me and my brothers can go and be trained to be doctors. Now I must close my letter, hoping you will get all the money in a week. With love, I remain,
“Your little friend,
“Robbie Borrowdale.” This little boy followed the example of the poor widow,—he gave all that he had. And we may be sure that it was not without a struggle; for when the boy’s heart was set on getting “a cornet like Mr. Champness,” it was as much to him as another farm or another house to the man of affairs. If we could really be converted and become as little children, what a gain it would be to us and to the cause of God.
