The Lord revealed that the prosperity of the Sanitarium was not to be dependent alone upon the knowledge and skill of its physicians, but upon the favor of God. It was to be known as an institution where God was acknowledged as the Monarch of the universe, an institution that was under His special supervision. Its managers were to make God first and last and best in everything. And in this was to be its strength. If conducted in a manner that God could approve, it would be highly successful, and would stand in advance of all other institutions of the kind in the world. Great light, great knowledge, and superior privileges were given. And in accordance with the light received would be the responsibility of those to whom the carrying forward of the institution was entrusted. {6T 223.4}

Herren har åbenbaret, at sanatoriets fremgang ikke skulle være afhængig alene af lægernes kundskab og dygtighed, men af Guds nåde. Det skulle blive kendt som en institution, hvor Gud (224) anerkendes som universets Enehersker, en institution, der stod under hans særskilte tilsyn. Dets ledere skulle gøre Gud til den første og den sidste og det bedste i alle ting. Og dette skulle være dets styrke. Hvis det blev ledet på den måde, som Gud kunne bifalde, ville det i høj grad blive fremgangsrigt og stå foran alle andre institutioner af den slags i verden. Stort lys, stor kundskab og mange privilegier blev givet; og i forhold til det lys, der er modtaget, vil ansvaret være for dem, som institutionens drift blev betroet.
