Our sanitarium was erected to benefit suffering humanity, rich and poor, the world over. Many of our churches have but little interest in this institution, notwithstanding they have sufficient evidence that it is one of the instrumentalities designed of God to bring men and women under the influence of truth and to save many souls. The churches that have the poor among them should not neglect their stewardship and throw the burden of the poor and sick upon the sanitarium. All the members of the several churches are responsible before God for their afflicted ones. They should bear their own burdens. If they have sick persons among them whom they wish to be benefited by treatment, they should, if able, send them to the sanitarium. In doing this, they will not only be patronizing the institution which God has established, but will be helping those who need help, caring for the poor as God requires us to do. {4T 551.2}

Vort sanatorium blev oprejst for at hjælpe lidende mennesker, rige og som fattige, over hele verden. Mange af vore menigheder har kun lidt interesse for denne institution, uanset de mange tilstrækkelige beviser på, at det er et af de redskaber Gud bruger, til at bringe mænd og kvinder under sandhedens indflydelse og frelse mange sjæle. De menigheder der har fattige iblandt sig, bør ikke forsømme deres forvaltning og kaste denne byrde, af fattige og syge mennesker, over på sanatoriet. Alle medlemmerne i de forskellige menigheder drages til ansvar over for Gud, for deres nødstedte mennesker. De burde bære deres egne byrder. Hvis de har syge iblandt dem, som de ønsker, skal have behandling, burde de, om muligt, sende dem til sanatoriet. Derved, vil de ikke blot støtte den institution, som Gud har etableret, men de vil hjælpe dem, som har brug for hjælp, sørge for fattige, hvad Gud forlanger af os.
