May 30, the patients and faculty of the sanitarium having planned to spend the day two miles from Battle Creek in a beautiful grove that bordered Goguac Lake, I was urged to be present and speak to the patients. Had I consulted my feelings I should not have ventured, but I thought perhaps this might be a part of the work I was to do in Battle Creek. At the usual hour, tables were spread with hygienic food, which was partaken of with a keen relish. At three o’clock the exercises were opened with prayer and singing. I had great freedom in speaking to the people. All listened with the deepest interest. After I had ceased speaking, Judge Graham of Wisconsin, a patient at the sanitarium, arose and proposed that the lecture be printed and circulated among the patients and others for their moral and physical benefit, that the words spoken that day might never be forgotten or disregarded. The proposition was approved by a unanimous vote, and the address was published in a small pamphlet entitled: The Sanitarium Patients at Goguac Lake. {4T 272.1}

Den 30.maj, havde sanatoriets patienter og personale planlagt på at bruge dagen to mil fra Battle Creek i en smuk lille skov der afgrænsede Goguak-søen, jeg blev opfordret til at tage med og tale til patienterne. Gik jeg efter hvordan jeg havde det, så skulle jeg ikke have vovet noget, men jeg tænkte at dette måske kunne blive en del af arbejdet jeg skulle udrette i Battle Creek. Til normal tid, blev bordene dækket af vegetarkost, som blev spist med god appetit. Klokken tre blev møderne startet med bøn og sang. Jeg havde god tid til at tale til folk. Alle lyttede med den dybeste interesse. Efter at jeg var færdig med at tale, rejste Judge Graham fra Wisconsin, en sanatoriepatient, sig og foreslog at lektien blev trykt og omdelt blandt patienterne og andre til gavn for deres moral og fysisk. Således kunne de talte ord ikke glemmes eller ignoreres. Forslaget vandt bifald ved et enstemmigt valg og talen blev offentliggjort en lille folder kaldet: Sanatoriepatienterne i Goguac Lake.
