PHILADELPHIA SANITARILlie The meetinil was called to consider the recommendations made in joint eon:mittse during‘the meeting of the Columbia 'Onion Confer* .12.00 at BaltimOre. The College Vier *ouzel' had voted that if it was found necessary a call should be mate to relieve the Philaeclehf.a Sanitarium.. The proposition stades at Baltimore was that .s>40 / 000 should be raised by asking our people to sell 600,000 ekel.:etes of the ten-cent magazinee, as Lite. and. Health, -the Signs, and the Watchman, It was stated that the Philadelphia sanitarium had a mortgage of 45,000 -falling-due in April, with no provision to meet it,and a socotet mortgage of $6,000 felling duo in Iuly, with no provsion to meet it. The di.soussion of the topic wa.s over the queet, ion as to whot7osr the magazine plan- of attempting .- r Ji.se tless mount would be better than a call for straight dona- tions f rom the people. After discussing the .matter, it was agreed that further iif ormation ehoua be sought as to the terms on whieh etagaz!_nee could be secured, and in the meantime a few daye! delay we :el all= Elder W.TcKnox, the trees/ rer, to be with the Coereittee, to join in the eouneile.
