"Let the laborer carefully husband his strength, and when wearied with toil, let him turn aside and commune with Jesus."—Gospel Workers, p. 245.
Some months ago we had the pleasure of visiting a most interesting mountain community between Coalmont and Altamont, Tennessee, not far from Chattanooga. We ascended into the lovely hills until we reached this sunny spot which has drawn to itself a fine group of Seventh-day Adventists. Here a neat and attractive church building stands as a monument to our cause. A number of our retired workers have their little homes scattered throughout the community. The climate is most ideal in the summer and not at all severe in the winter.
The reason we are mentioning this community to readers is that two of our retired Bible instructors are making their home in this section, which is such a delightful place to rest and recuperate. These sisters are cheerful, hospitable spirits with excellent housekeeping ability. They are opening their newly built home (Cumberland Mountain Rest Home) to weary workers and those who desire a quiet vacation in such ideal surroundings. These noble women have dedicated their lives in God's service in the past, and will continue to further His cause in the future.
There may be some Bible instructors in need of a brief or prolonged vacation who would enjoy recuperating at just such a place. Again, there may be others who would like to make more permanent arrangements for just such a pleasant home for themselves. Ministerial couples are also invited by them. We believe that such lovely retreats are provided God's children in His providence. While this is an entirely private enterprise, we herewith call attention to the project, for it may help to solve some worker's problem.
