An Adventist Sanitarium Needed in Grand Cayman

F. AND R. M. HALL write from Cayman Islands, Grand Cayman, Georgetown: “Though unknown personally, still we are connected in faith and in the noble work of delivering the third angel’s message. We realize that this most important work requires haste, and situated as we are among these Cayman Islands, we can not advance without a start in the medical work. We started out on a small scale, giving such treatments as we could, and have been much blessed in our efforts. I have been impressed to start a building large enough for accommodating the sick and for holding services, but have no means, so we have purposed writing this, asking for help from our friends. Enclosed please find the opinion of a member of the legislative council.” The following is a copy of the letter which Brother Hall enclosed, and is signed by C. I. H. Poning, M. L. C.: “In my opinion and experience an Adventist sanitarium is much needed in Grand Cayman, and as there is no medical act or any law at present on the statute-book regulating the qualification of doctors, dispensers, and other agents for attending the sick, I think that now is the time for the Adventist body to see for itself, as one can not say what legislation may be affected as the outcome of the very recent change of government. As far as I have learned, Mr. and Mrs. Hall are laboring under considerable inconvenience without the assistance of a sanitarium.”
