Counsels on Health - Ellen G. White

gathering in so much means to establish institutions
in a few places, that nothing will be left for the
establishment of similar institutions in other places.
Many plants are to be established in the cities
of America, and especially in the Southern cities,
where as yet little has been done. And in foreign
lands many medical missionary enterprises are to
be started, and carried forward to success. The
establishment of sanitariums is as essential in
Europe, and other foreign countries, as in America.
The Lord desires His people to have a right
understanding of the work to be done, and, as
faithful stewards, to move forward wisely in the
investment of means. In the erection of buildings,
He desires them to count the cost to see whether
they have enough with which to finish. He also
desires them to remember that they should not
selfishly gather all the means possible to invest in a
few places, but that they should work with
reference to the many other places where
institutions must be established.
