IS YOUR HOME BEING TRANSFORMED INTO A SANITARIUM?
By David Paulson
(1926 Wabash Ave., Chicago, Ill.) If not, why not? It is impossible for all those who ought to have the benefit of our regularly organized health institutions to secure it. But, nevertheless, have they not a right to some of the crumbs that fall from our richly furnished table? God has not been sending us light upon right living and the care of the sick all these years simply to be hoarded up. It is for the benefit of the world, and God will sooner or later demand of us an account of our stewardship. The greatest thing about a sanitarium is not the completeness of its outfit, but the amount of light and truth that it cherishes. The cure of the ordinary periodical sick headache requires but a limited paraphernalia. Do you know what diet to use in order to clear a coated tongue? Are you aware that the average attack of biliousness is only an indication of decay and fermentation in the stomach? Do you know what to do to cure it? If not, why not? If your own families do not stand in need of such knowledge, some one in the community does. Are you too busy to give any special attention to these questions? If so, what assurance have you that the angels of God will not be too busy to care for you when a thousand begin to fall on one side, and ten thousand on the other? Do you offer as an excuse that you can not afford to subscribe for the journals and books that are among God's means of conveying these truths to the people? Have you ever wondered how Neighbor —, who is no better situated financially than you are, succeeded in raising the funeral expenses for his only child, who might have lived if your home had been the center of life and health that God intended it should have been? The homes of all who expect soon to meet God should be miniature sanitariums. Then, and not till then, may be fulfilled some of those prophecies in the book of Isaiah relative to the wonderful position that the people of God are to occupy in the world just prior to the coming of the Lord?
