A Great Work

“I feel an intense interest in the future work and prosperity of the Loma Linda Sanitarium. God has not given us these buildings for naught.

November 1, 1905, she wrote the following: PH095 6.1

“We were deeply interested in your letter in regard to the prospects of having patients as soon as you are ready for them. I am so thankful to our heavenly Father that for a long time He has kept before me that there were buildings that we could obtain at a greatly reduced price. This instruction kept me from trying to purchase land on which to erect building at a large cost. The Lord has certainly prepared the way for us, and He wants us to work interestedly in securing sanitariums. PH095 6.2

“I feel thankful for the school property at Fernando, and I do thank the Lord for the property at Paradise Valley. And now you can see that the Lord designs that these places should be worked. It may be that there will have to be another building secured at a distance from Los Angeles, for thus it has been presented to me. But we can not yet reach for more, unless the Lord should make it known that the time has come. If we consecrate our individual selves to the Lord, we shall have that wisdom which would enable us to move intelligently. PH095 6.3

“I thank the Lord with heart and soul and voice that He has brought Loma Linda to our notice, and that we might obtain it. I thank the Lord that He has sent you to help me carry out in a determined effort that which He designed should be a great blessing to us. Redlands will be a center, and so also will Loma Linda. A school will be established as soon as possible, and the Lord will open the way. PH095 6.4
