who have thought their own standard of character<br />

to be sufficient, and have felt no need of the<br />

righteousness of Christ. When the future test<br />

comes, when enlightenment comes to them, not a<br />

few of these will take their stand with God’s<br />

remnant people.<br />

God is h<strong>on</strong>ored by instituti<strong>on</strong>s c<strong>on</strong>ducted in this<br />

way. In His mercy He has made the sanitariums<br />

such a power in the relief of physical suffering that<br />

thousands have been drawn to them to be cured of<br />

their maladies. And with many, physical healing is<br />

accompanied by the healing of the soul. From the<br />

Saviour they receive the forgiveness of their sins.<br />

They receive the grace of Christ and identify<br />

themselves with Him, with His interests, His<br />

h<strong>on</strong>or. Many go away from our sanitariums with<br />

new hearts. The change is decided. These,<br />

returning to their homes, are as lights in the world.<br />

The Lord makes them His witnesses. Their<br />

testim<strong>on</strong>y is, “I have seen His greatness, I have<br />

tasted His goodness. ‘Come and hear, all ye that<br />

fear God, and I will declare what He hath d<strong>on</strong>e for<br />

my soul.’” Psalm 66:16.<br />
