A VISIT TO BATTLE CREEK.
By S. Osborn
It became necessary to take my daughter to Battle Creek, to the Health Institute, where ten years ago I took treatment with good results. I was happy to see some of those who had been my fellow-patients able to do hard labor, among them Bro. G. H. Bell, teacher in the College. God bless him and his family. All the present patients at the Institute are strangers to me, but I could see in their looks faith in that system of treatment. The physicians and helpers are Christian gentlemen and ladies. I was fully satisfied to leave my daughter in their care. I would advise all the afflicted who can do so, to visit the Institute, in order to satisfy themselves of its utility. I was much rejoiced to meet those tried and faithful servants of God, Bro. and Sr. White, also Brn. Canright and Haskell. But few have any idea of the burdens resting upon them. May God bless and sustain them. I had the pleasure of seeing many old acquaintances (some from Iowa), and of forming many new ones,—some whose names, through the papers, were quite familiar to me. All the institutions, as far as I could see, are in a prosperous condition. The Institute is curing the sick, and teaching them the laws of health; the publishing houses are sending out tons of reading matter; while the College is educating its hundreds (young and middle-aged) to labor in the great harvest field. I would say a few things respecting this College. I believe it is the best conducted institution of the kind in the land. So far as order and thoroughness of instruction are concerned, it is unsurpassed. Tuition, board and room (at club rates) will not exceed one hundred dollars annually. It gives those of limited means an opportunity to get a good education. Everything there shows that the work is moving forward. We have now resumed labor and pitched the tent at Edmonton, Metcalfe Co., Ky.
