Extracts from Testimonies Concerning A Sanitarium in Washington, D. C

“Above all Other Places”

“If there is any place in the world that should have the full rays of present truth, it is Washington, the city that is the very heart of the nation.... God has looked with displeasure on the neglect that has been shown to this city. PH143 3.1

“Since medical missionary work, when carried on as God has appointed, is indeed the helping hand of the third angel's message, we should without delay take advantage of the favorable openings for beginning this work in the vicinity of Washington. If there is one place above another where a sanitarium should be established, and where gospel work should be done, it is in this city. We can not estimate how great an influence would have gone forth from Washington in favor of the truth had a sanitarium been established there twenty years ago.... Above all other places the capital of our nation should now have an opportunity to hear the message for this time.”—Mrs. E. G. White, in Testimony, “Our Work at the Nation's Capital,” dated July 17, 1903. PH143 3.2
