Boston and New England

that can be employed to reach Boston with the truth. The city and its
suburbs must hear the last message of mercy to be given to our world.
Tent meetings must be held in many places. The workers must put
to the very best use the abilities God has given them. The gifts of
grace will increase by wise use. But there must be no self-exaltation.

No precise lines are to be laid down. Let the Holy Spirit direct the
workers. They are to keep looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher
of their faith. The work for this great city will be signalized by the
revelation of the Holy Spirit, if all will walk humbly with God....
We hope that those in charge of the work in New England will
co-operate with the Melrose sanitarium managers in taking aggressive
steps to do the work that should be done in Boston. A hundred workers
could be laboring to advantage in different portions of the city, in varied
lines of service....
The medical missionary work is a door through which the truth is
to find entrance to many homes in the cities. In every city will be found
those who will appreciate the truths of the third angel’s message....
The Lord will work with power, as we strive to do our part faith-
fully. He will cause Boston to hear the message of present truth.
Co-operate with Him in bringing this about, my brother, my sister, and
He will help you, strengthen you, and encourage your hearts through
the salvation of many precious souls.—Special Testimonies, Series B,
No. 13, pp. 12-16. (1906).
Boston’s Thousands Craving for Simple Truths—I feel a deep
anxiety that Boston shall hear the Word of the Lord and the reasons
of our faith. Ask the Lord to raise up laborers to enter the field. Ask
Him to raise up laborers who can gain access to the people of Boston.
The message must be sounding forth. There are thousands in Boston
craving for the simple truth as it is in Jesus. Cannot you who minister
in word and doctrine prepare the way for this truth to reach souls?—

If We Move Out by Faith—It was in the plan of God that the
Melrose sanitarium should come into the hands of our people, as a
means of reaching the higher classes. The city of Boston and the
surrounding country should be thoroughly worked. I am instructed
to say to Elder _____ and Elder _____ that they should connect with
them men and women who can help them sound the note of warning.
