The following message was received from the Pacific Press Publishing Company in reply to a telegram announcing that the Sanitarium and Hospital had been totally destroyed by fire:—

“OAKLAND, CAL., Feb. 19, 1902

“W. W. Prescott,
“Care of Sanitarium:—
“We express our deep sorrow and sincerest sympathy in your great affliction. Will help to the extent of our ability. See 2 Thess. 2: 16, 17.

The Scripture to which reference is made reads as follows: “Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.” Such expressions of brotherly sympathy and Christian cheer serve to sweeten the bitterness of trial, and to unite hearts in the one work.
