To All the Church Elders in the United States and Canada
By Editor
In this number of the Review is a statement to the Seventh-day Adventist denomination, relative to the Battle Creek College property, the American Medical Missionary College, and the Missionary Acre Fund. This statement is conjointly issued and signed by A. G. Daniells, J. H. Kellogg, I. H. Evans, S. H. Lane, A. T. Jones, and P. T. Magan. It sets forth, clearly and squarely, the whole situation concerning the Battle Creek College property, the Medical College, and the Missionary Acre Fund, and that makes an appeal in behalf of all of these. It should be read by every Sabbath keeper. Next Sabbath, May 30, has, by agreement, been set aside as the Missionary Acre Sabbath. On this day our people everywhere will have opportunity to study the goodness of God in giving to this church the medical missionary message for the world. A special reading has been written for the occasion by Elder A. T. Jones. This has already been mailed to every church elder in the land. This reading is one of the best we have ever seen on the subject. It strikes a new and blessed trail of thought. It contains much fresh, spiritual truth on the subject, “His Saving Health,” and our relation to the carrying of this message to the world. Therefore, next Sabbath, everywhere throughout the country, let our brethren and sisters meet and study the life-giving message of “His Saving Health.” It will cheer and revive every soul. It is good tidings to the meek, the binding up of the broken-hearted, the proclaiming of liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound, both spiritually and physically. And crowning all of these, it is, in verity, the proclamation of the “acceptable year of the Lord.” As this truth waters our souls, let each one consecrate to God a portion of the first fruits of that part of the earth of which Heaven has made him steward, or a portion of the fruit of his daily toil. All contributions to the Missionary Acre Fund, and for the purpose of securing the old Battle Creek College property to the American Medical Missionary College, and through it to give the message of “His Saving Health” to the world, should be sent to Prof. P. T. Magan, Berrien Springs, Mich.
