St. Helena Sanitarium.—It is a pleasure to see a worthy person or worthy institution, after a hard and seemingly unsuccessful career for years, turn the corner to the path of prosperity, and begin a winning conflict with adverse circumstances. Such was the experience of the writer at the report of the annual meeting March 11, at the Sanitarium, near St. Helena, Cal.
For years the institution struggled hopelessly in debt, or so it seemed to many of its friends. But the managers, doctors, nurses, helpers, toiled self-sacrificingly, constantly, till it turned the corner and started up-grade.
The last two years have been the most prosperous in the history of the sanitarium; not alone financially has it prospered, but it has done much good in carrying the blessing of the Gospel of health and life to thousands.
It has built a well-equipped hospital costing $12,000. Its net profits amounted to more than $38,500. In two more prosperous years the institution will be free of all indebtedness. May God bless it abundantly in its constantly enlarging plans.
