The Knowlton (Quebec) Sanitarium
By H. E. Rickard
We know well that many calls are being made, and pressing needs are being urged, from different parts of the great field; yet the imperative demand of the situation requires us to make an appeal for our sanitarium at Knowlton, Quebec. This institution is doing a good work not only for Quebec, but for the other provinces, and the adjoining States. Not only have patients been received and benefited by treatment here, but young people from the different places mentioned are being trained for a life of usefulness. But we are laboring under great difficulties. The building must be enlarged, and further equipment is also needed, in order to furnish sufficient room and facilities to do justice to the growing demands of the work. Part of this work must be done immediately in order to be prepared for the winter that is just before us. Now Quebec is a very weak conference, both numerically and financially, and is not able to make these improvements alone without plunging deeply into debt, which is contrary to the Bible, the Testimonies, and sound business judgment. Therefore, we make this appeal for help in this our time of need, hoping that all will feel willing to help us as far as possible, that this important branch of the work may not be retarded in any way, but that it may go forward with its good work. The needs of this institution were clearly seen by our leading brethren from the States during their much appreciated visit to our camp-meeting, and they kindly offered to co-operate with us in raising four thousand dollars to make the necessary improvements, with the understanding that if we would raise one thousand dollars in this field, the other three thousand dollars would be raised there. Already four hundred and fifty dollars has been raised here in cash and pledges, and we hope that the remainder will be raised soon. All should be anxious to help in this good cause, that this plan may be carried into effect as soon as possible. Please send your offerings for this department of the work to the business manager, Elder S. A. Farnsworth, Knowlton, Quebec. H. E. RICKARD,
President of Quebec Conference.
