The Atlanta Sanitarium

By Chas. F. Curtis

WE are told that small sanitariums should be established at many places, and it is in harmony with this instruction that an effort is being made to maintain a sanitarium at Atlanta, Ga. The mild, healthful climate, even temperature, and good water, together with the prosperous condition of the State, make it a very desirable place for such an institution. Atlanta is a thriving city of rapid growth, having grown during the last twenty years in population from sixty thousand to over one hundred and twenty-five thousand, its growth in the past year having been exceeded by only one city in the United States. It is among the leading cities of the South as an educational and manufacturing center, as well as a favorite resort for tourists.

Some eighteen years ago our deceased brother, Elder S. H. Lane, and the writer purchased the lot on which the sanitarium is built. It was then in the midst of forest trees and old battle-fields, no streets having been laid out. Under the trees we knelt and dedicated the ground and the building that should be erected to the work of the Lord.

In 1893 it was sold to the Review and Herald Publishing Company, and a branch office was established for the Southern field. It was here that the first periodical for the South, the Southern Review, had its birth. While it was headquarters for our publishing work in this field, it was also the home and retreat for our workers when sick. Many were brought here to be nursed back to health, and were sent out again into the Master's vineyard, and are now filling important positions in other fields.

When the publishing work was moved to Nashville, Tenn., efforts were made to sell the property, but no sale could be effected. Then word came through the spirit of prophecy that it should not be sold, but that it should be donated to the medical missionary work in this part of the field, to be used for a sanitarium; and that means should be donated to properly equip it for sanitarium purposes. The first part of this instruction has been cheerfully complied with, the publishing company having kindly donated the property, but the latter part is still partially unfulfilled. After putting in bath-room facilities, and using it for a time, it became too small to meet the needs of the work, and an addition was begun; but before it was finished, it was found to be still insufficient. The accompanying cut shows the front as it stands now, an unfinished structure three stories high, of twenty rooms including treatment and bath room and a basement. Only eight of these rooms are in a condition to entertain patients. The third story is wholly unfinished, and some rooms in the first and second stories are only lathed. The elevator shaft is all open from the basement to the third story. No dining-room or kitchen has been built, an unfinished room in the basement being used for that purpose. In time of heavy rain, water runs into the basement until, even in the room used for a kitchen, it has to be baled out with buckets. Our bath-room facilities are entirely inadequate. More room also is needed in this department. With our limited conveniences and an average of only two workers, nearly fifteen hundred treatments were given in 1906.

The means of lighting and heating is very meager, only a part of the rooms being furnished with gas. The means of heating is by stoves, which is an inconvenient as well as expensive method.

A demand for a good institution of this kind in this large city is demonstrated by the fact that notwithstanding the existing conditions, many patients have cheerfully adapted themselves to the situation for the sake of the benefits derived from right methods of treating disease. Among those coming are editors and manager of two of the leading daily papers of the city, members of the legislature, and leading physicians.

Many living in the city have visited our sanitariums in the North, and would gladly avail themselves of the privileges of a thoroughly equipped sanitarium in their home city.

The premises outside the building are very uninviting, being surrounded by a broken-down fence, with no lawn or flower garden. Under the present condition this branch of the work of God is not properly represented in this place.

Findings

Dr. R. H. Harris, of Battle Creek, Mich., and Dr. H. B. Knapp, superintendent of the Pennsylvania Sanitarium, were welcome visitors at the General Conference offices lately.

Dr. W. C. Dunscombe and wife called at the office last week, on their way East, and to visit friends for a few days before leaving to connect with the sanitarium at Kobe, Japan.

Dr. Leota Holland, lady physician in the Philadelphia (Pa.) Sanitarium, and Mrs. D. T. Harbaugh, who is attending the Woman's Medical College in that city, spent a short vacation visiting our institutions and other points of interest in Washington, the past week.

In a letter lately received from Dr. L. W. Starr, of Loma Linda, Cal., she says: “I am now doing some work in the church at San Bernardino along health lines, and I am deeply interested in this phase of work. We visit the families of our people and get them to invite their neighbors and friends. The outside people are ready for this health work, and have manifested much interest, although our sisters say that they will not hear a word on religious subjects. We are praying that this may open the way for some to receive the whole message.”

On account of ill health it has been necessary that Dr. C. C. Nicola be relieved of his duties in connection with the New England Sanitarium, Melrose, Mass. For years he has worked earnestly for the interests of that institution, and through his efforts, under God, this sanitarium has come to be one of the largest of our denominational institutions. Dr. C. O. Prince, of South Lancaster, Mass., has been chosen to the position as superintendent of the New England Sanitarium, and has entered upon his duties. We hope and trust that Dr. Nicola will so improve in health that he can soon join us again in the great work with which he has been so intimately associated for many years.

It is with deep regret that we announce the withdrawal of Dr. G. T. Harding, Jr., from the sanitarium work in Washington. For nearly two years Dr. Harding has done very efficient work in the Washington Branch Sanitarium, as its superintendent. He has worked with untiring energy for the advancement of the interests of the institution, and has succeeded, with a corps of faithful workers, in building up the institution and placing it upon a solid basis, spiritually, professionally, and financially. Dr. Harding, Jr., disconnects from the Washington work at the call of his father, Dr. G. T. Harding, Sr., who for years has had a large practise in Ohio, and needs the help of his son. Dr. Harding leaves the work in Washington with the determination to pursue the same lines in his new field in harmony with the work with which he has been connected for the past few years. We wish Dr. Harding much of the Lord’s blessing in his work. The superintendency of the Washington Branch Sanitarium devolves upon Dr. J. H. Neall, who has been connected with the institution since its beginning.

The elder of each church is a delegate to the conference by virtue of his office, and the church should elect its full number of delegates besides the elder. All our churches in Minnesota are hereby requested to send the names of their delegates as soon as possible to the conference secretary, Wm. Asp, Box 989, Minneapolis, Minn.

A Canvassers’ Institute

By J. W. Lawhead

It has been deemed advisable to hold an institute for the instruction and training of canvassers at the Washington Training College, beginning May 13 and continuing to May 29. Brother F. E. Painter, who is the general canvassing agent in the Atlantic Union Conference, will have the general oversight of the work of this institute, and will be assisted by others, presumably State agents, who have had a large experience both as canvassers and as instructors of those who desire to engage in canvassing.

A very earnest effort will be made to give instruction which will be thoroughly practical, and which will help the prospective canvasser both to appreciate better the importance of his work and to perform it in such a way as to win souls for Christ; and with this thought in mind, Bible studies will be conducted daily for the purpose of deepening the Christian experience of those who are to become canvassers, that they may go out as workers together with him who has given his life as an example of how we ought to work.

Believing that the advantages of such an institute will be apparent to all who are interested in the canvassing work, it seemed advisable to make the announcement of the proposed institute through the columns of our papers, and to invite any who are planning to take up canvassing for the summer to unite with our students at this time under the instruction of these men whose large experience so admirably fits them to give instruction to those who are younger in the work.

Free tuition will be given to all. A merely nominal price of two dollars and fifty cents, a week will be charged for board and room; so the expense of attending this course of instruction need not deter any one from coming.

Any information which may be desired concerning this institute will be furnished by correspondence; and we earnestly hope there may be a genuine and hearty response to this effort to train and make ready a company of young men and women for this feature of God’s work. J. W. LAWHEAD.

State of Maine. Notice!

By S. J. HERSUM

It may seem a little early to begin to talk about tents and camp-meetings, but these seasons will probably arrive sooner than we are ready for them. We desire, if possible, to raise a fund this year sufficient to meet all the expenses connected with these gatherings, outside of paying the laborers, and we desire that all our brethren and sisters begin to lay their plans for the raising of this fund.

At our last committee meeting it was decided to run two tents this coming summer if possible, and to hold a camp-meeting which, according to the arrangements of the Atlantic Union Conference Committee, will begin about August 22. To run two tents and to hold a camp-meeting means quite an expense. Will the elders of the different churches, and also the ministers and Bible workers, each do what he can in calling the attention of our churches to this matter, that a sufficient fund may be raised? S. J. HERSUM.

Wisconsin, Notice!

By C. McREYNOLDS

A meeting of the Wisconsin Conference Association of Seventh-day Adventists will be held in the church in Milwaukee at 2 P. M., Monday, April 22. This is for the purpose of transacting some important business that demands the attention of the association. All members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in good standing in the conference are members of the association, and all are invited to attend who can arrange to do so.

This meeting will be held in connection with the workers' meeting that opens the fifteenth and continues to the twenty-fifth. The purpose of the meeting is to consider the articles of incorporation. It may be necessary to make a slight change in the articles in order to include in their objects the sanitarium work. This is necessary for the prosecution of some plans for putting the sanitarium on a better financial basis. We shall hope to have a good representation from our brethren from near-by churches.

C. McREYNOLDS, Pres. Conference Association.

Loma Linda College of Evangelists

THE regular opening of this school for the next year's work begins Sept. 19, 1907, but some classes in preparatory branches will begin soon after April 15, 1907, and continue until the regular school opening in September, to prepare any who may need to make up studies required for entrance. Loma Linda College offers a three years' course for nursing, and two years in evangelistic-medical work, making it perhaps the most complete course offered by any sanitarium training-school anywhere. Besides being very complete on the educational side, students are required to work only a total of forty-two hours a week, in order to cover all expenses of board, room, and tuition, which is about two thirds of the time usually required of nurses. Besides this, a few will be allowed to pay cash for part of their expenses, and thus gain some additional time for study. We shall be glad to correspond with any who wish to take up studies along the lines of nursing or evangelistic-medical work. For circulars and full information, address College of Evangelists, Loma Linda, via Redlands, Cal.

The funeral was held at the sanitarium, and the body was taken to South Amherst for interment in the family lot. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer from Job 1:21. F. W. Stray.

Hall.—Died at George Town, Grand Cayman, Feb. 13, 1907, of typhoid fever, Lyman Hall, the only son of Frank and Rebecca M. Hall, aged 2 years, 8 months, and 22 days. We had taken him and his two little sisters with us to attend the West Indian Union Conference in Kingston, Jamaica, where his father was to be ordained to the gospel ministry. While there the little one was taken with the fever. He lived only ten days after our return home. His funeral service was conducted by his father, who spoke from Rev. 10:6. We have the assurance of meeting our little boy again, when Jesus, the Life-giver, comes. Mrs. R. M. Hall.

Fowler.—Died at the home of her parents in Wayne, Mich., Feb. 2, 1907, of typhoid pneumonia, Nellie E. Fowler, only daughter of Mina D. and Jas. R. Fowler, aged 25 years, 3 months, and 1 day. In the year 1900, she, with her mother, accepted the truths of the third angel's message. She ever lived a consistent Christian life, working unselfishly for those around her. Besides her father and mother, she leaves one brother, William H., whose youngest son, a babe of nineteen months, was laid to rest the day before Nellie's death. Funeral service was held at the Congregational church in Wayne. M. Shepard.

Carver.—Died at Fishkill on the Hudson, N. Y., Feb. 7, 1907, of pneumonia, Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth Carver, in her sixty-sixth year. At an early age Sister Carver was converted and united with the Methodist Church, but about eight years ago she accepted the doctrines held by Seventh-day Adventists, and became an ardent advocate of the truths which she held so dear. She leaves one son and other near relatives, besides a large circle of acquaintances, who mourn deeply their loss. Services were conducted at the house by Brother J. C. Hennessey and the writer. As many of her relatives were members of the Methodist church, there was also a service held at that church, conducted by the pastor. C. H. Edwards.

GENERAL CONFERENCE OFFICERS

Notice!

The General Conference Committee has appointed Elder M. N. Campbell (pastor of the Battle Creek church), G. W. Amadon, and A. L. Bayley as a local committee, or bureau of correspondence in finding homes for orphan children now in the Haskell Home, numbering about forty, or for aged people in the James White Memorial Home, now numbering nineteen. In the meantime the General Conference Committee, acting for the union conferences, has agreed to pay a stipulated sum weekly for each Seventh-day Adventist inmate of these Homes, from April 6.

All agree that the orphan children ought, so far as possible, to be in good private homes, rather than in any large institution. The Testimonies have also emphasized this. We are asking the local committee to correspond with union and State conferences and with individuals, to secure homes for these children among our people. Such an arrangement should be a blessing to the children and to the homes which receive them. Those wishing to make inquiry, or able to assist in finding homes, should write to Elder M. N. Campbell, 271 West Main St., Battle Creek, Mich.

A Farewell Appeal

By A. G. Daniells; WM. COVERT; E. T. RUSSELL; R. A. UNDERWOOD; W. B. WHITE; R. C. PORTER; W. J. FITZGERALD; FREDERICK GRIGGS

Just as we are leaving for Europe to attend important councils in Great Britain, Scandinavia, Germany, and Switzerland, we have received the stirring appeals sent out by our leading brethren in the Pacific Union Conference, in behalf of the $150,000 fund. These appeals, we understand, have been sent to all our conference officers and ministers for the purpose of stirring them to greater zeal and activity in the work of raising this fund.

We are now on board the steamship “Celtic,” ready to sail, and we unite in leaving as a last word, for the present, to our fellow workers this statement.

We are deeply grateful that our brethren in the Pacific Union Conference have sent out these timely and stirring appeals. They have made our hearts burn with a new desire to hasten the raising of this fund. We would gladly stay and join in this good work, but the interests of this cause in foreign lands call us away at this time.

As we leave, we wish to tell our fellow workers in the conferences with which we are especially connected, and our brethren generally, that we most earnestly desire that they shall be moved to great earnestness by these appeals.

We believe that this fund can be raised by our people in a short time if a united, vigorous effort is made. We heartily join our brethren in the earnest request that a very special effort be set on foot the first Sabbath in May, and that it be continued until the last dollar of the fund is provided.

This, dear brethren, is our last word to you as we leave you with this work for a time. We shall tell our people in Europe of your efforts and your gifts in their behalf.

And while we are gathered in our large council at our Swiss sanitarium on the shores of Lake Geneva, May 10-25, we hope to hear of great progress in the raising of this much-needed fund. Remember us at the throne of grace at this time.

A. G. DANIELLS, WM. COVERT, E. T. RUSSELL, R. A. UNDERWOOD, W. B. WHITE, R. C. PORTER, W. J. FITZGERALD, FREDERICK GRIGGS, G. F. HAFFNER.

Elder and Mrs. Haskell’s Visit

Newfoundland Postal Rates

Those in our offices will please take note once again that Newfoundland is not in the Canadian postal union. It, therefore, ranks as a foreign country postally, and the postage is five cents per one-half ounce on letters. Elder C. H. Keslake requests this notice once again in behalf of himself and fellow workers receiving mail, and having to pay fines on under-paid matter.

Santali Hymn-Book and Leaflets

We have received from Brother W. A. Barlow, of the Santal Mission, India, a copy of a new hymn-book in the Santali language, issued by our India Mission press. It contains over a hundred and fifty hymns. From the same source we have also copies of a number of leaflets, in Santali, covering doctrinal and temperance topics. The Santals are an aboriginal people of western Bengal.
