A Great Work in England—There is a great work to be done
in England. The light radiating from London should beam forth in
clear, distinct rays to regions beyond. God has wrought in England,
but this English-speaking world has been terribly neglected. England
has needed many more laborers and much more means. London has
been scarcely touched. My heart is deeply moved as the situation in
that great city is presented before me....
In the city of London alone no fewer than one hundred men should
be engaged. The Lord marks the neglect of His work, and there will
be a heavy account to settle by and by.—

6:25, 26

An Army of Workers—It seems to me that the necessity of the
work in England is a very important question to us in this country. We
talk about China and other countries. Let us not forget the English-
speaking countries, where, if the truth were presented, many would
receive and practice it.
[416]
Why is it that more work has not been done in England? What
has been the matter? The workers could not get means. Does not this
speak to us of the necessity of economy in every line? ...
Let no one suppose that the work in London can be carried forward
by one or two. This is not the right plan. While there must be those
who can oversee the work, there is to be an army of workers striving
to reach the different classes of people. House-to-house work must be
done.—

Financial Help Will Come—There is a work to be done in Lon-
don. I have been given light that this work can be done, and that help
will come from outside. Those who have money will give of their
means. You need not be delicate about asking them for money.—

Place of Meeting; Hire Good Halls—The work in England might
now be much farther advanced than it is if our brethren, at the beginning
of the work there, had not tried to work in so cheap a way. If they had
hired good halls, and carried forward the work as though we had great
truths, which would surely be victorious, they would have had greater
success. God would have the work started in such a way that the first
impressions given shall be, as far as they go, the very best that can be
made.—
