Evangelism
With the sanitarium should be connected the best help possible to give
a religious mold to the institution.
Let Elder _____ secure the best help he can, and pitch a tent in
the vicinity of the city of Boston, and speak to the people as the Lord
gives utterance. There should be no delay in taking up this work. Elder
_____ might strengthen the effort by laboring for the Jewish people.
Physicians might help much by giving health talks in connection with
the meetings....
The Lord is calling for a work to be done in the city of Boston.
If you will move out by faith in this work, God will greatly bless
you. There need be no great outward demonstration, but work qui-
etly and earnestly. The Lord will help His humble, earnest workers.
Make determined efforts. Say continually, “I will not fail nor be
discouraged.”—
Letter 202, 1906

blessing that has attended the work in New Bedford. Let us trust in
God, and let our faith take hold of Him most earnestly.

established.
Oh, how I long to see the work going with power in New Bedford
and Fairhaven, and in many other places just as greatly in need of the
truth as these places. We hope that sometime a sanitarium may be
established in New Bedford. Medical missionary workers are needed
in such cities. But, dear sister, it requires talent of no ordinary ability
to manage a sanitarium. Men of experience, tried and tested, must take
hold of the work. That part of the workers who undertake to establish
such an institution are experienced and qualified, is not sufficient. For
their own sake, for the sake of the institution, and for the sake of the
cause at large, it is important that a complete corps of well-qualified
men and women be found to enter upon the work. The Lord’s eye is
over the whole field, and when the time is ripe for an institution to be
