Aggressive Work in Boston
Boston has been pointed out to me repeatedly as a place that must
be faithfully worked. The light must shine in the outskirts and in the
inmost parts. The Melrose Sanitarium is one of the greatest agencies
that can be employed to reach Boston with the truth. The city and its
suburbs must hear the last message of mercy to be given to our world.
Tent meetings must be held in many places. The workers must put
to the very best use the abilities God has given them. The gifts of
grace will increase by wide use. But there must be no self-exaltation.
No precise lines are to be laid down. Let the Holy Spirit direct the
workers. They are to keep looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher
of their faith. The work for this great city will be signalized by the
revelation of the Holy Spirit, if all will walk humbly with God....
We hope that those in charge of the work in New England will
co-operate with the Melrose Sanitarium managers in taking aggressive
steps to do the work that should be done in Boston. A hundred workers
could be laboring to advantage in different portions of the city, in varied
lines of service.
Redeeming the Time
The terrible disasters that are befalling great cities ought to arouse
us to intense activity in giving the warning message to the people in
these congested centers of population while we still have an opportu-

nity. The most favorable time for the presentation of our message in
the cities, has passed by. Sin and wickedness are rapidly increasing;
and now we shall have to redeem the time by laboring all the more
earnestly.
The medical missionary work is a door through which the truth is
to find entrance to many homes in the cities. In every city will be found
those who will appreciate the truths of the third angel’s message. The
judgments of God are impending. Why do we not awaken to the peril
threatening the men and women living in the great cities of America?
Our people do not realize as keenly as they should the responsibility
resting upon them to proclaim the truth to the millions dwelling in
these unwarned cities.
