St. Helena Sanitarium Prospectus
By Editor
There has come to our table a neatly-printed, finely-illustrated prospectus of the St. Helena Sanitarium, giving a description of the institution, its location and environments, its advantages, its methods of treatment, its medical staff, its rates, etc., etc. Its illustrations are mostly from photographs of buildings, grounds, or surrounding scenery, and are charming in the extreme, and peculiarly inviting. New and extensive improvements are being made, which will add to the effectiveness of treatment and the comfort of guests and patients. It is sent free, we believe, on application to the Medical and Surgical Sanitarium, St. Helena, Cal. Satan is "prince of the power of the air." When man was given dominion over this earth, under God, he had control of every agency. When he yielded himself to Satan, he yielded all that was under him. Since then the storms of evil, death, and destruction have been of Satan's own planning, but not always operating to his will. He is the Destroyer. For infinitely wise purposes God permits the evil to develop, and yet He interposes to frustrate the destruction of Satan when it is to His glory or the good of souls. When Satan sends out his minions of evil spirits—demons, fallen angels—God also sends forth His legions of angelic spirits to succor, shield, and save. In no other way can we account for the marvelous things which occur in some of the fearful storms which sweep the land. For instance, in the recent cyclone in Tennessee, what drove a pine shingle into a solid brick wall? How was the life of a young woman preserved who was literally stripped of every shred of clothing, carried 200 yards, and lodged in a fruit tree, to the branches of which she was unconsciously clinging when she came to herself? God preserved her life for some good. What preserved the lives of four adults and a baby when the five-roomed house in which they were, was blown to pieces and scattered? Where the door-step had been, the little one was found sweetly sleeping and uninjured. Satan is still the prince of this world, de facto, but not de jure; but his reign is nearing an end. He whose right it is, is coming to reign. But even now God ruleth, and frustrateth the work of the enemy.
