The friends of humanity, of truth and holiness, should act in reference to the Institute on the plan of sacrifice and liberality. I have five hundred dollars in stock in the Institute, which I wish to donate, and if my husband succeeds with his anticipated book, he will give five hundred dollars more. Will those who approve this plan please address us at Greenville, Montcalm County, Michigan, and state the sums they wish to donate, or to invest in stock to be held as the stock in the Publishing Association is held. When this is done, then let the donations come in as needed; let the sums, small and large, come in. Let means be expended judiciously. Let charges for patients be as reasonable as possible. Let brethren donate to partly pay the expenses at the Institute of the suffering, worthy poor among them. Let the feeble ones be led out, as they can bear it, to cultivate the beautifully situated acres owned by the Institute. Let them not do this with the narrow idea of pay, but with the liberal idea that the expense of the purchase of them was a matter of benevolence for their good. Let their labor be a part of their prescription, as much as the taking of baths. Let benevolence, charity, humanity, sacrifice for others’ good, be the ruling idea with physicians, managers, helpers, patients, and with all the friends of Jesus, far and near, instead of wages, good investment, a paying thing, stock that will pay. Let the love of Christ, love for souls, sympathy for suffering humanity, govern all we say and do relative to the Health Institute. {1T 639.2}

Dem, som er venner af mennesker, af sandhed og hellighed bør handle under hensyn til institutionen, i form af offerer og gavmildhed. Jeg har femhundrede dollars i aktier i institutionen, hvilket jeg ønsker at give og hvis min mand har held med sine forudgående beregninger, vil han give femhundrede dollars mere. Vil dem, som bifalder denne plan venligst henvende sig os i Greenville, (640) Montcalm land, Michigan og angive de summer de ønsker at give, eller at investere i aktier, der skal ejes som aktierne i Udgivelses Selskabet ejes. Når dette er gjort, lad da ikke giverne ikke komme i trang; lad beløbene, store som små, komme ind. Lad midlerne vokse med forstand. Lad udgifterne for patienterne være så rimelige som mulige. Lad brødrene betale en del af institutionens lidendes udgifter, dem som er værdigt trængende. Lad disse svage blive ledt frem, eftersom de kan bære det, til at opdyrke de skønt beliggende områder, som institutionen ejer. Det forhold som jeg har til dette arbejde, kræver at jeg udtykker mine synspunkter uhindret. Lad deres arbejde blive en del af deres recept, så meget som deres bade koster. Lad godgørenhed, næstekærlighed, opofrelse for andres gode, være en fremherskende tanke hos læger, ledere, hjælpere, patienter og hos alle Jesu venner, nær og fjern, i stedet for løn, gode investeringer og aktier, som vil lønne sig. Lad Kristi kærlighed, kærlighed for sjæle og forståelse for lidende mennesker, beherske alt hvad vi siger og gøre med hensyn til sundhedsinstitutionen.
