The Sanitarium

THESE are busy days at the Sanitarium. Those upon whom the burden of responsibility in reference to the new building rests heaviest have been and are laboring most earnestly to deal wisely with the plans submitted. Dr. Kellogg is working night and day, carefully studying and planning to incorporate in the new building every detail which his twenty-five years’ experience in sanitarium construction suggests.

Evening after the Sabbath, March 22, the plans and elevations submitted by the various architects were placed on exhibition at the Review and Herald Office chapel for inspection by the citizens of Battle Creek who had contributed to the building fund. It was gratifying to the Sanitarium Board to find that the plans which they felt impressed to adopt were those which met with practically unanimous approval.

One of the leading contractors of Chicago has been employed to superintend the work of construction. As this paper is going to press, there is a large force of workmen busily engaged in laying the foundation for the new temple of health which is, by God’s help, to rise out of the ashes of the old building.

It is an exceedingly important undertaking, and the Sanitarium managers feel the need of the prayers of all God’s people. Daily, at one o’clock, the Sanitarium family meet together and earnestly seek God that His Spirit may guide in every detail of the work.
