A Recent Letter From Sister White
“More decided efforts are to be put forth in southern California. There is a great work to be done in this field. We have done all in our power to advance the work there, and now that this sanitarium property in San Diego County has been purchased, we call upon our brethren and sisters to aid us in properly equipping the institution that it may do successful work. Ask those who have been entrusted with the Lord's money to make gifts to the sanitarium, that it may be prepared to do the work that must be done for the sick and suffering. PUR August 10, 1905, par. 1
“Brethren and sisters, I plead with you to help forward our sanitarium work. The Paradise Valley Sanitarium is in need of assistance. We have evidence that the money expended there has been used wisely and well. The strictest economy has been shown in all that has been done; an advantage has been taken of every opportunity to save means. I know that the work of this sanitarium must be carried forward. PUR August 10, 1905, par. 2
“During the two visits that I have made to the institution, I realized that the Spirit of the Lord was in the sanitarium, and that the work is being carried forward in a way that will glorify God. Those in charge of the institution are doing all in their power to make it all that the Lord desires it should be. PUR August 10, 1905, par. 3
“In establishing sanitariums we are carrying out the purposes of God. This work is the work of God. Through the means of our sanitariums the sick and suffering in the high-ways and by-ways of life are to learn the healing power of Christ. PUR August 10, 1905, par. 4
“My brethren and sisters, I ask you to help us in preparing the Paradise Valley Sanitarium to do the best service—the work that will tell for time and eternity. I ask you, my dear friends, to help us in this time of need, and I believe that you will.” PUR August 10, 1905, par. 5
