The University of Chicago Hygienic Dining-Rooms.
By David Paulson
We have felt for some time that we ought to open up dining rooms near the University of Chicago, where there are nearly three thousand students in attendance. This would be the means of not only furnishing these people of the school with food which would make them healthier and happier, but it would give our workers an opportunity to reach some of the best students and members of the faculty with other reformatory truths. Although the enterprise has not yet been in operation two weeks, we have already succeeded beyond our fondest expectations. These educational people are perfectly delighted with our hygienic meals, and not a day passes but something takes place that is a source of special encouragement to those of our workers who are leading out in this movement. Our dining room is already beginning to be patronized by members of the faculty, and the number of students in attendance is increasing as rapidly as our workers are developing experience to care for them. We trust that our brethren will remember this undertaking in their prayers, that it may be the means, in the hands of God, not only of creating favorable impressions of our work, but that it may be a place where divine truth shall fall into good and honest hearts, and bear fruit that we shall rejoice to see in the kingdom.
