The Missionary Acre Fund.
By S. H. Lane
In a recent Review, Dr. J. H. Kellogg requested that the means accruing from the sale of the proceeds from missionary acres and gardens be sent to the writer, who is glad to state that he has received some means. The Battle Creek College property has been sold to the International Medical Missionary Training School Association, of which Elder Daniells is president; W. H. Edwards, secretary; and the writer, treasurer. The money received from the acre fund will aid in purchasing the old college property, and the new association has rented it to the American Medical Missionary College, which institution is constantly educating physicians for the denomination, to be sent everywhere throughout the civilized world to advance the gospel of health and temperance. It is the only institution of the kind that has ever existed among our people, and is doing a noble work in training nurses and physicians to do valiant service in the field, and to stand at the head of our sanitariums and medical work throughout the entire world. No one agency is exerting more influence in favor of the truth everywhere than our health principles, and it is no more than just that as a denomination we take hold, and through the missionary acre fund purchase the Battle Creek College property for the medical college. The money received will pay off the debts of the old college; and as these debts are canceled, money will go into the hands of our brethren who have loaned to the college, and also go to the Review and Herald Office, which has stood by and loaned money to the college in its hours of financial distress for the last twenty-five years; and when the money reaches the hands of the creditors, it will simply advance the good work. We would therefore ask all who have not sent in the money from the sale of produce to do so as soon as possible, and we can assure them that the money will be so appropriated as to help the medical college; and as soon as the debts are paid, the property will be turned over to said college. No object is more worthy of the property than that institution which is training a class of young men and women who are standing firmly in defense of the truth. Please send to the writer all proceeds from the missionary acres and gardens. Address Battle Creek, Mich.
