The Skodsborg Sanitarium

By Arthur Grosvenor Daniells

In making up the $150,000 fund, provision was made to help the Skodsborg Sanitarium to the amount of two thousand dollars. Our people should understand why this appropriation is allowed.

BIRD'S-EYE VIEW OF THE SKODSBORG SANITARIUM

In 1902, by request of the General Conference Committee, a number of the union conferences in North America sent delegates to Europe, to attend a general meeting of the European workers, and to visit the various conferences that had been organized. While visiting the Skodsborg Sanitarium in Denmark, it was found that that institution needed assistance. The patronage was altogether too great for its capacity. The managers were paying heavy rents for unsuitable buildings, some located at a distance from the sanitarium. After careful counsel, it was agreed that a new building should be erected, and that the General Conference would be requested to raise two thousand dollars for this, provided the Danish brethren would raise four thousand. This was agreed to by all parties, and the Danish brethren have raised their share. The building is now being erected, and the two thousand dollars promised by the General Conference is needed.

The Skodsborg Sanitarium has for years been a great blessing to the people of Scandinavia. Hundreds have had their health restored there, and have received very favorable impressions regarding the message. How many have fully embraced the truth, we know not. The sanitarium is a union conference institution, and is receiving the careful attention and hearty co-operation of the leading brethren in that field. The new building and the important changes that are being made will greatly increase the efficiency of the institution, and will give it greater earning power, as well.
