Loma Linda as an Educational Center

“This proposed school at Loma Linda,” said she, “must be molded by the early spirit of the message. We must try to get such men as Eld. S. N. Haskell to connect with it, in order that our students in training for service as medical missionary evangelists may get a new view of the work.” “We are now,” said she, “farther from the pattern than when our medical work first started.” PH094 32.1

On June 26, 1905, Sister White wrote as follows: PH094 32.2

“It is just daylight, and I am seated on my couch beginning a letter to you. There are many matters to be considered; and we all need the guidance of the Holy Spirit. PH094 32.3

“I shall be pleased to hear from you at any time. I sincerely hope the brethren in Southern California will unite in pressing forward the school work and the sanitarium work. I hope that ----- will move understandingly in reference to the sanitariums already in operation, and also in regard to the new sanitarium. I pray that the Lord may provide suitable help to connect with this institution. PH094 32.4

“Do not be discouraged if in any wise there is some cutting across your plans, and if you are somewhat hindered. I hope that we shall never again have to meet the hindrances that we have had to meet in the past because of the way in which some things have been conducted in some lines in Southern California. I have seen the ‘hold-back’ principles followed, and I have seen the displeasure of the Lord because of this. If the same spirit is manifested. I shall not consent to keep silence as I have done.” PH094 33.1
