Those in charge of the Nashville Sanitarium: 25LtMs, Lt 112, 1911, par. 2

I feel a great interest for this sanitarium. The Lord calls for His people to arouse out of sleep and begin to work in earnest. The exhibition of the fruits of righteousness will become marked with the exhibition of the love of God in earnest missionary effort and they [God’s people] [will] become laborers together with God. I have not any special light to give. I cannot express anything in particular. I will, if possible, send you a few words. We need to be wide awake as far as the location of sanitariums are concerned and in regard to the establishing [of] sanitariums. As you represent the case, I am perplexed to know what to say in regard to the present condition of things. If I am impressed with words to give you, then you shall have them. 25LtMs, Lt 112, 1911, par. 3

We are in the midst of a very large interest. I need all there is of me to understand how to help them here. 25LtMs, Lt 112, 1911, par. 4

I want to speak the very words now that ought to be spoken and [not] confuse you with words that will not relieve your present perplexity. If you get together and ask the Lord to help you just now and do not become discouraged, the Lord will give you light and teach you how to move. Suppose you now take this matter to God in prayer and believe that a prayer-hearing God will relieve you in your perplexity. Please to do this. I will ask the Lord in your behalf. This is all I can say at present. I cannot draw any more burdens on my soul than I am now carrying. I wish I had words that would relieve you, but I fear to express more than this, lest I confuse you. But let our people meet together and pray the Lord for light. 25LtMs, Lt 112, 1911, par. 5
