Western Cities

We desire to do all we can to warn those around us of the soon
coming of the Saviour. My heart is drawn out to those who know not
the truth for this time.—

In Southern California—There is a work to be done in Los An-
geles. In Southern California and in many other places there are
[406]
promising opportunities for labor in connection with the health resorts.
Our ministers and canvassers should be on the ground, watching their
chance to present the message, and holding meetings as they have
opportunity....Let them speak the Word of God with clearness and
power, that those who have ears to hear, may hear the truth. Speakers
should find their places in different localities in southern California
to place the gospel of present truth in the way of those who know it
not.—

Los Angeles—Special light has been given me regarding the char-
acter and magnitude of the work to be done in Los Angeles. Several
times messages have been given regarding the duty that rests upon us
of proclaiming the third angel’s message with power in that city.—

Redlands and Riverside—There is important work to do in Red-
lands and in Riverside. The churches in these places are to be added
to. Let the work advance.—

The Message in Large Western Cities—It would be a mistake to
build or purchase large buildings in the cities of southern California.
Those who seem to see such great advantages in so doing are without
understanding.
There is a great work to be done in sounding the gospel message
for this time in these large cities, but the fitting up of large buildings
for some apparently wonderful work has been a mistake. The Lord
would have men walk humbly with Him. The message of warning
should be sounded in the large, wicked cities.—
