At “Sunnyside” home much exhausted as year began. Suffering
pain in left eye, and writing with eye bound up. With Sara M. went
to Summer Hill and then to san. farm for rest, Jan. 4-19. Neither got
much rest! Was impressed to go to Maitland; Woke Sara at 4 a.m. Jan.
19, took early train to Dora Creek station, and that afternoon drove
to Maitland for a busy weekend of meetings. Visited Maitland again
Feb. 9-12. Left “Sunnyside” March 7 to labor in the camp meeting at
[200]
Geelong, Victoria, March 8-23.
Impressed that she should soon return to America, and wrestled much
in prayer before she decided to go. Spent a weekend in Melbourne
area on return journey and spoke in N. Fitzroy church on Sabbath
afternoon; reached “Sunnyside” March 27. Made no long trips during
next four months, but was burdened with writing and her concern over
many features of the work, both in Australia and America. Labored
several weekends in Maitland, Hamilton, Summer Hill, and Parra-
matta. Dreaded giving up her pleasant home to go to America but
was convinced she must, and in August was busy with preparations
for the move. Sunday, aug. 26, a fitting farewell service was held in
the Cooranbong church, and on Aug. 29 she sailed from Sydney on
the S.S. Moana with W.C.W. and family and Sara M. Reached San
Francisco Friday p.m. Sept. 21, and spoke in the Oakland church
Sabbath p.m.
Spent a few days in Oakland, house hunting, and went to St. Helena
Sept. 27. At St. Helena San. learned of a home fully furnished that
was for sale, surely the very place the Lord had prepared for her, and
“Elmshaven” became her home until her death. While on board ship
she had been visited “by the angel of the Lord” and given precious
instruction and the assurance that the Lord had a place prepared for
her.
Attended camp meeting at Napa, and during closing months of the
year labored in St. Helena Area, Oakland, San Francisco, Calistoga,
and Healdsburg, and became settled in her new home, for which she
was deeply grateful. Christ’s Object Lessons, Testimonies on Sabbath
[201]
School Work, and Testimonies for the Church, vol. 6, were published
in 1900.
