Brother Jones reported, that since the first of January, their rented house has been filled. Applications for admission had to be refused, owing to lack of room. The superintendent feels confident that with proper management, the institution could very soon be put on a paying basis. The influence of the work was being felt all over the country, and much good was being accomplished. GCB January 1, 1896, page 651.9
All the people in the house were not patients. Some were boarders, and all had expressed themselves as well satisfied with the treatment they received. The Honorable J. W. Stayten, of Arkansas, with his wife and a lady friend of hers, had been staying at the mission for two months. Mr Stayten is one of the commissioners from his State to the World’s Fair, which is to be held in Mexico City next year. Several other wealthy Americans who had been visiting Mexico, have also stopped with Brother Jones. At present the managers are laboring under rather unfavorable circumstances, but when the new building is completed, they believe that very soon the institution will be able to create a good reputation, which will bring sufficient patronage to make the work a success, and do much to inculcate the great principles of health and temperance, for which it stands as an exponent.
