Fulfilling God’s Plans
I am instructed to tell our people that it will be necessary for them
to give all that they can spare of their means for the establishment of
sanitariums that will do the work which the Lord says must be done.
These sanitariums are to be under the supervision of men who are
controlled by the Holy Spirit, men who will carry out, not their own
plans, but the plans of God....
We are to cooperate with the Lord Jesus in the great work of
presenting the truth for this time to the people of the world. We need
health, we need fortitude; we need a pure, unadulterated faith in the

the important messages that are to be borne to our world. When, if
not now, are these messages to be given?

free from all worldly policy, unembarrassed by confederacy with
those who have not wisdom to discern the claims of God so plainly
set forth in His law.—

influence as widely as possible....
There are wealthy men who have in trust the Lord’s money, and
we have a perfect right to ask them to help us in our missionary
work. We have a work to be carried on in all parts of the world,
and must have means. Will not some of these wealthy men come to
our help? The scripture we have read [
Isaiah 60:1
.] encourages us
to believe that they will. There are some who would consider it a
privilege.—
Manuscript 113, 1908.
Our Needs to Be Presented
We are to do special work for those who are in high positions
of trust. The Lord calls upon those to whom He has entrusted His
