The Nashville Colored Sanitarium.
PROMINENT among the enterprises undertaken in the interest of present truth among the colored people of the South, is the Nashville Colored Sanitarium, at 447 N. Cherry St., Nashville, only a little more than a block from the public square.
The building now ready for occupancy as a sanitarium and treatment rooms was secured last spring by the Southern Missionary Society, which planned the work. But in August it was turned over to a local board of five directors, and incorporated under the name of the Nashville Sanitarium Association.
This association is purely eleemosynary in character, and by its charter and by-laws all its officers, except the medical director, are prohibited from receiving any compensation whatever for their services to the institution. More than this, every one connected with the institution, from the medical director to the humblest nurse, works on a missionary basis.
MAIN HALL AND STAIRWAY.
One of the leading colored physicians of the city has become deeply interested in this work, and will give the institution his services and the influence of his name and reputation, on very liberal terms. He is one of the professors in Meharry Medical, Dental, and Pharmaceutical College. This physician and his wife have just returned from a visit to the Battle Creek Sanitarium, where they went to learn more about our work.
The Nashville Colored Sanitarium is, we believe, the first institution of the kind ever established for the exclusive treatment of colored patients. It is provided with colored graduate nurses from the Battle Creek Sanitarium. Our spray and our electric-light bath cabinet were also obtained from the Sanitarium; so we have as good as can be found anywhere. The electric-light bath cabinet is a personal donation by Dr. Kellogg.
DOUBLE PARLORS — USED ALSO FOR LECTURE ROOMS.
Nashville is the most important educational center for colored people in the South, or, we might say, in the world. The Fisk University, the Roger Williams University, and the Meharry Medical College, well-known colored institutions, are all in Nashville.
A large number of the most intelligent, the most highly educated and refined negroes have their homes here. Many of them are well-to-do, and some are wealthy. In no way can this class be reached so well as by means of medical missionary work. And but little can be done for the poorer and less intelligent colored people until the confidence and co-operation of the better classes have been secured. Our building has been fitted up in a way to secure the patronage of this class of colored people. By this means we hope not only to secure the influence of men who can be of help to us, but to make the institution speedily self-supporting.
A WARD FOR PATIENTS.
Connected with this institution will be different courses of instruction in medical missionary lines. It is not the intention of those in charge of this enterprise to attempt at present to develop and send out graduate nurses, but students will receive instruction in housekeeping, cookery, simple treatments, etc., things that should be understood in every home and by everybody. It is expected that this sanitarium will be a center of influence from which will go forth scores of missionary workers thoroughly competent to give simple treatments, and to teach those for whom they labor at least the simple principles of the gospel of health.
In no other way can all classes of people be reached so readily as by demonstrating to them that suffering can be relieved by simple means available in every home. From this institution the nurses in charge, and the students also, will go out into the homes of the colored people of Nashville, giving such instruction and assistance as may be needed. Thus the whole gospel will be carried to all classes.
SPRAY ROOM.
Our sanitarium building, with a large lot in the rear, was purchased a few months ago for $3,575. The duplicate of this property, standing by the side of it, was sold for $8,000 a few years ago. The property is regarded a great bargain. A payment of five hundred dollars was made at the purchase. A like amount must be paid in about sixty days, and the remainder in payments of five hundred dollars every six months. The cost of fitting the building for its work amounts to several hundred dollars. A great and good work is open before this institution if the proper support can be given it.
Thus far the Southern Missionary Society has assisted this work, but is not able to continue to carry it in addition to its several schools. The sanitarium board is under the necessity, therefore, of appealing directly to the people for means to put this worthy institution upon a solid financial basis.
This is in many respects the most promising work that has yet been undertaken for the colored people. Donations to assist it should be sent to the Nashville Sanitarium Association, 1025 Jefferson St., Nashville, Tenn. We wish to hear not alone from those who can make only small donations, but are there not several who will send us at least one hundred dollars each, between now and the first of January, 1902?
This is one of the most practical as well as most promising enterprises ever undertaken in behalf of the colored people, and it cannot fail to accomplish much good if properly supported. We confidently believe that it will, almost from the first, fully meet its own running expenses; but the payments referred to must be met by donations. Please address all communications as requested above.

Trains on Battle Creek Division depart at 7.45 a. m. and 4.00 p. m., and arrive at 12.40 p. m. and 6.30 p. m. daily except Sunday.
The pages in the cut show the arrangement of the days, and the years, also the number of lines allowed to each daily record.
HOW TO USE IT
Begin under date Jan. 1, 1902, and write down to the next year date. For the next day, use the space under Jan. 2 (on opposite page), and so on through the year. The next year begin in the next lower space under Jan. 1, 1903, etc.
This arrangement places a record of the same day in every month throughout the five years on each page of the diary, thereby focusing on one page five daily records for as many years.
Busy people do not wish to make extended records. Only important facts in a concise form are desired. This diary has ample space for such a record, and yet is only 3½ x 5¼ x ¾ inches in size. Just the right size to carry in the pocket. Substantially bound in fine Russia, gilt edges.
The price, postpaid, is $1.00

Battle Hymn of the Kingdom
BY FRANCES EUGENIA BOLTON
A beautifully bound poem of thirteen stanzas, artistically arranged on as many pages with an impressive full-page, self-interpreting illustration on the opposite page.
The illustrations and the poem portray the prophetic events from the time of the assembling of the armies for the great battle of Armageddon to the establishment of the Kingdom of God. It is an excellent thing to present to a friend.
The size of the book is 5 x 7½ x ¼ inches.
Prices, 25 and 50 cents

Our New Holiday Book
This is a sparkling volume of 132 pages, based on our Lord's use of the monosyllables “COME,” “GO,” “DO,” and “LO.” All who examined the author's tentative edition bestow upon it unstinted praise. Indeed, the book is a spiritual feast of four courses (there are just four divisions of the work, with a dozen subsections), and the reader's interest will never flag from title-page to finish.
This little treatise on the Master's Greatest Monosyllables is perfectly calculated to turn the thoughts of the reader heavenward. It is brimful of incident, logic, Scripture texts, and comfort; in the last respect like the present that Jacob sent to Pharaoh: “A little balm, and a little honey, spices, and myrrh, nuts, and almonds.” Gen. 43:11. No one can read this book without having his spirit quickened in the right direction. There is not a needless sentence between the covers, and the whole is uplifting, inspiring, and encouraging. It is a good book to put into the hands of the discouraged or unconverted.
Price, postpaid, 50 cents

THE SCRIPTURAL FOUNDATION'S OF SCIENCE
“THE SCRIPTURAL FOUNDATION'S OF SCIENCE is an attractive book in both its binding and contents. For beginners and “the common people” generally, as an introduction to science-study, it is excellent. I wish that it could be thoroughly read, especially by the youth, in every home in all the land.” ALONZO T. JONES.
I HAVE BEEN DELIGHTED AND ENTERTAINED by a careful reading of this work. It has the right ring. The author has swept away the rubbish of false science which largely consists of suppositions, theories, and speculations, and brought clearly to view the great foundation of all wisdom and knowledge, God's Word, which reveals the Author of all truth, and whose wonderful works bear continual witness to the truthfulness of his Word.
“To the thoughtful, this book will furnish much for meditation, and will enable them to see God alike in his creation and his revelation. I sincerely hope that ‘Scriptural Foundation of Science’ will have the large circulation that it deserves.” M. E. CADY.
“PLAIN FACTS FOR OLD AND YOUNG”
By F. E. Belden
of both sexes, is the name of a beautiful book by Dr. J. H. Kellogg, containing about 300 pages, including the 350 handsome illustrations in rose bronze ink. It treats the science of human life from infancy to old age. Beginning with a study of life and reproduction in plants, insects, and the lower animals, the subject is divested of all grossness, so that when the analysis of human life and reproduction is reached, it seems as pure a theme as God intended it to be.
It gives parents the right words to use when instructing their children. Not one boy or girl in a thousand can be brought up in innocent ignorance. While parents are praying for them instead of teaching them, they are learning evil. Angels are not sent from heaven to do the work of father and mother. It reveals the alarming prevalence of vice among children and youth, tells how to prevent, detect, and break up bad habits. It shows that knowledge is a safeguard, and ignorance is death. It is a great scientific moral barrier to a great evil. It vitally concerns heart and home happiness.
It contains chapters for girls, boys, young women, young men, wives, husbands, mothers, fathers, and old people, treating fully upon right and wrong practices in single and married life; effects being explained in 100 pages on special diseases of men and women, with 100 pages on general health topics, showing the true relation of dress, diet, exercise, etc., a special feature being the Home Gymnasium Department, with 120 illustrations on physical culture.
About 300,000 copies of this book have been sold by subscription in its smaller form, without illustrations, which add greatly to its helpful, uplifting influence. It is present truth on this great question. Each illustrated book contains a certificate of membership in the Health Library Association, with premium privileges, free from dues or assessments; also a large anatomical chart in three sections, nine colors.
Until Jan. 15, 1902, Seventh-day Adventists may order this book at 40 per cent discount from the retail prices, adding 30 cents for postage. It weighs four pounds. The retail subscription prices are $3.75, $4.25, $4.75, $5.25. The special prices until Jan. 15, 1902, so that all may obtain it, are, including postage, $2.55, cloth; $2.85, library; $3.15, beautiful half K. Red Russia; $3.45, elegant full K. Red Russia, gilt edges. With either of the two best styles, a large lucotype picture will be mailed free, entitled “Loyal Helpmates,” or “No Divorce,” a model of cheerful union in an age of sourness and separation. Picture alone, 50c.
“Plain Facts” gives the first place to the Great Physician, who said, As it was in the days of Noah and Lot, so shall it be in the days of the coming of the Son of man. Elder A. T. Jones says of the book, “It will do good, and only good.” Most of life's misery is in this question. It is fundamental, not secondary.
Dr. Mary Wood-Allen, Supt. Purity Dept. World's W. C. T. U., examined and approved all publications in the Health and Purity Library before the list was made up, so that anything in it may be safely ordered in this age of impure literature; and at a discount to members. The approved list of health and purity books is in each copy of illustrated “Plain Facts,” the purchase of which secures life membership.
Plain edition, no illustrations, no Anatomical Chart, no Certificate of Membership in the Health Library Association, but all the reading matter, $1.98, postpaid.
A 24-page pamphlet, giving a complete description of it, will be mailed on receipt of 2 two-cent stamps.

An Interesting Lecture.
By A. J. B.
ERNEST THOMPSON-SETON, author of those excellent books of true animal stories entitled “Wild Animals I Have Known” and “The Lives of the Hunted,” lectured at Battle Creek, Mich., Saturday evening, the 7th inst., before an audience of over two thousand people, in the Seventh-day Adventist Tabernacle. At the close of his most interesting lecture Dr. J. H. Kellogg announced that Mr. Seton would lecture the next two evenings. If Mr. Seton ever lectures in your city, be sure to avail yourself of the opportunity of hearing him. His talks are sermons in themselves, though he never tacks a moral on any of his animal stories. You can secure no better Christmas gift for your children than one of the two books above mentioned. They are intensely thrilling, instructive, and are no fables. These books, as well as others he has written on the same subject, may be obtained from this Office. We get nothing for writing this.

No Wonder.
By L. A. S.
In one of our Conference papers a minister mentions having met recently a Seventh-day Adventist who did not know that there had been a session of the General Conference last spring. He of course knew nothing of the reorganization that had taken place, and expressed his surprise at the changes that had been made. Such ignorance seems very surprising, but the surprise largely disappears when we learn the cause: he was not a subscriber to our church paper, the REVIEW AND HERALD. Really, what could be expected of a Seventh-day Adventist who tries to get along without the information given from week to week in our church paper? How could such a one be expected to keep pace with the message? He could not; and this illustration shows how far in the rear it is possible for one to get under such circumstances.
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge,” says the Scripture. We can save souls from perishing by a little effort put forth to extend the circulation of our church paper. L. A. S.
Offer Holds Good.
As stated last week, in view of the assertion so often made that Father Enright had withdrawn his offer of one thousand dollars for one text of Scripture that we are bound under grievous sin to keep Sunday holy, instead of the seventh day, we sent to said Enright a query on this point to learn from his own words the truth in regard to this matter. This is his reply, in which the lie about his withdrawal of his offer is thoroughly nailed:—
“ST. LOUIS, MO., NOV. 26, 1901.
“DEAR SIR: Your note came while I was absent on missionary duties. I reside here at present—address above. I received a few letters from Madam Wilson. I requested her to send me some proofs of her assertions. So far I have received none. I have never withdrawn my offer.
“I hereby offer one thousand dollars to any one who can prove, from the Bible alone, that I am bound under grievous sin to keep Sunday holy.
“T. ENRIGHT, C. S. S. R.”
In Next Week's Issue.
By A. J. B.
WE have secured an interesting series of articles from the pen of Dr. Frederick M. Rossiter, of the Battle Creek Sanitarium medical staff. Alcohol is the general subject treated in the articles; and the first one, which will appear in our Home and Health Department next week, treats of “The History of Alcohol.” The titles of the other articles now on hand are “The Alcohol Family,” “Action of Alcohol on the Body, No. 1,” “Action of Alcohol on the Body, No. 2.” The title of the fifth article will be announced later.
Our people have been repeatedly urged, through the Spirit of Prophecy, to battle with intemperance wherever it is found. But to do so effectually, we must do so intelligently — we must know the true nature of that fell destroyer, alcohol. Having read these articles, you will be fully prepared, so far as knowledge is concerned, to instruct those about you, warning them against the evil effects of this great agent of intemperance.
Get your neighbors and friends to subscribe for the REVIEW, that they may have the benefit of these excellent articles. Induce them to take the paper for at least four months (50 cents); they will by that time be sufficiently well acquainted with the same to want to take it regularly. Sample copies will be sent, free of charge, for you to use in this good work. Send your postal to the undersigned, care of Editorial Department. A. J. B.
Virginia Conference Resolution on the Review and Herald
By B.
One of the resolutions adopted at the eighteenth annual session of the Virginia Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, held at Richmond, Va., Nov. 8-17, reads as follows:—
“We recommend that our church organ, the REVIEW AND HERALD, be taken as a family paper in each home.”
Thanks, brethren. Let all our State Conferences do likewise. Let all the people who read the REVIEW get behind this movement to increase its circulation, and the work will be easily and well done. B.
Everybody, Please Notice!
By W. A. Spicer
THE readings for the Week of Prayer and the envelopes for the offerings for missions have been sent by the Mission Board to every church elder on our list. If you are a leader of a company, and have not received them, please send a postal card to your State tract society office at once. We ask every reader of this notice to call attention to it in the first meeting held after this paper is received, and ascertain if the elder or leader has a copy of the readings. We wish to make sure that no company shall fail to get the readings and the envelopes in ample time to make all preparation for the special season.
The readings have also been sent to isolated Sabbath-keepers. If any have been missed, a postal card to their State office or to the Mission Board, will bring a copy. A sufficient number have been printed to supply an individual copy to any who by sickness or other reason will be unable to attend the meetings during the Week of Prayer.
Conference workers will be supplied through the State tract society offices at once, so that all may look the readings over, and be prepared to talk up the interests of the occasion between now and December 21. Any inquiries may be addressed to the Mission Board, 267 West Main St., Battle Creek, Mich. W. A. SPICER, Sec.
