151
In Loma Linda we have an advantageous center for the carrying
on of various missionary enterprises. We can see that it was in the
providence of God that this sanitarium was placed in the possession
[177]
of our people. We should appreciate Loma Linda as a place which
the Lord foresaw we should need and which He gave us. There is
a very precious work to be done in connection with the interests of
the sanitarium and the school at Loma Linda, and this will be done,
when we all work to that end, moving unitedly in God’s order.
At Loma Linda many can be educated to work as missionaries in
the cause of health and temperance. Teachers are to be prepared for
many lines of work. Schools are to be established in places where
as yet no efforts have been made. Missionaries are to go to other
states where little work has been done. The work of promulgating
the principles of health reform must be accomplished. God help us
as a people to be wise.
I feel a deep interest that careful study shall be given to the
needs of our institutions at Loma Linda and that right moves shall
be made. In the carrying forward of the work at this place, men of
talent and decided spirituality are needed. The best teachers are to be
employed in the educational work, men and women who will walk
circumspectly, depending wholly upon the Lord. If the teachers in
medical lines will stand in their place in the fear of God, we shall
see a good work done. With Christ as our educator we may reach a
high standard in the knowledge of the true science of healing.
That which is of the most importance is that the students be
taught how to represent aright the principles of health reform. Teach
them to pursue this line of study faithfully, combined with other
essential lines of education. The grace of Jesus Christ will give
wisdom to all who follow the Lord’s plan of true education. Let the
students follow closely the example of the One who purchased the
[178]
human race with the costly price of His own life. Let them appeal to
the Saviour and depend upon Him as the One who heals all manner
of diseases. The Lord would have the workers make special efforts
to point the sick and suffering to the Great Physician who made the
human body.
It is well that our training schools for Christian workers should
be established near to our health institutions, that the students may be
educated in the principles of healthful living. Institutions that send
