Counsels on Health - Ellen G. White

Sanitarium has been greatly prospered, and during
this coming year those in charge should restrict
their wants. Instead of doing all that they desire to
do in enlarging their facilities, they should do
unselfish work for God, reaching out the hand of
charity to interests centered in other places. What
benefit they could confer upon the Rural Health
Retreat, at Saint Helena, by giving a few thousand
dollars to this enterprise! Such a donation would
give courage to those in charge, inspiring them to
move forward and upward.
Donations were made to the Battle Creek
Sanitarium in its earlier history, and should not this
sanitarium consider carefully what it can do for its
sister institution on the Pacific Coast? My brethren
in Battle Creek, does it not seem in accordance
with God’s order to restrict your wants, to curtail
your building operations, not enlarging our
institutions in that center? Why should you not feel
that it is your privilege and duty to help those who
need help?
