Hearty Response and Support

When the matter came up for consideration in the union conferences, there was a similar hearty response. Of the action taken in the North Pacific Union, Elder G. A. Irwin wrote to commend the attitude of Elder C. W. Flaiz, president of the union, and quoted him as saying in substance: SHM 388.5

“‘When the Lord spoke as definitely as He had in regard to this school, that should end all discussion with every true Adventist who believed the Testimonies; and the thing for us to do now was to plan to follow the light that we had received.’”—Quoted by W. C. White in letter to A. G. Daniells, February 24, 1910. SHM 389.1

Elder Irwin reported that after further discussion “the question was called, and put to the delegates first, and received a unanimous vote in the affirmative; and then the whole house was asked to express itself, which was also unanimous.”—Ibid. SHM 389.2

The general enthusiasm aroused in behalf of the establishment of a second denominational medical school bade fair to insure united action in its behalf during the varying vicissitudes of the institution through the coming years. SHM 389.3
