find that many consecrated youth will be fitted to enter the regions
beyond as practical missionaries; and, at the same time, the confer-

ences in the home field will have means with which to contribute
liberally to the support of the work that shall be undertaken in new
territory.
Sanitarium, California,
April 17, 1908

God desires that the sale of
Christ’s Object Lessons
shall be
recognized by all our people as His method of relieving our schools
from debt. It is because this plan has been neglected that we now feel
so keenly our lack of means for the advancing work. Had the schools
availed themselves of the provision thus made for them, there would
be more money in the school treasuries, and more money in the
hands of God’s servants, with which to relieve the necessities of
other needy departments of the cause; and, best of all, teachers and
students would have received the very lessons that they needed to
learn in the Master’s service.

In the cities within easy reach of our sanitariums and training
schools a mission field is open to us that we have as yet only touched
with the tips of our fingers. In some of these places, a good beginning
has been made. But it was God’s purpose that by the sale of
Ministry
of Healing
and
Christ’s Object Lessons
much means should be raised
for the work of our sanitariums and schools, and that our people
might thereby be left more free to donate of their means for the
opening of the work in new missionary fields. If our people will
now engage in the sale of these books as they ought, we shall have
much more means than we now have to carry the work in the way
the Lord designed that it should be carried.
