Clear New Ground
Let forces be set at work to clear new ground, to establish new,
living interests wherever an opening can be found. Let men learn how
to make brief, earnest prayers. Let them learn to speak of the world’s
Redeemer, to lift up the Man of Calvary higher and still higher. Trans-
plant trees out of your thickly planted nursery. God is not glorified
in having such immense advantages centered in one place. We need
wise nurserymen who will transplant trees to different localities and
give them advantages whereby they may grow. It is a positive duty to
go into regions beyond. Rally workers who possess true missionary
zeal and let them go forth to diffuse light and knowledge far and near.
Let them take the living principles of health reform into communi-
ties that to a large degree are ignorant of what they should do. Let
men and women teach these principles to classes that cannot have the
advantages of the large sanitarium at Battle Creek. It is a fact that
the truth of heaven has come to the notice of thousands through the
influence of the sanitarium; yet there is a work to be done that has
been neglected. We are encouraged as we see the work that is being
done in Chicago and in a few other places. But the large responsibility
that is now centered in Battle Creek should have been distributed years
ago.—Health, Philanthropic, and Medical Missionary Work, pages
49, 50 (1895).
