The Work in Lovell, Idaho
By Clarence K. Redfield
DOUBTLESS many readers of the REVIEW who saw Brother Lovell's notice last winter may wonder what success has attended the effort to build up a school at this place. The work moved very slowly during the summer, but it now seems as if our efforts are to be crowned with success. The location is an ideal one. It is at an altitude of about 2,200 feet, several miles distant from any city or town. The climate is mild and healthful, the water is good, and not difficult to obtain. The land is remarkable for its fertility, and grains, vegetables, and fruits, such as apples, pears, plums, prunes, peaches, cherries, and the small fruits, grow in abundance. About thirty acres has been set aside for the use of the industrial school when it shall be established, and it is hoped to make the school self-supporting. There are now four families on the ground, besides Brother Lovell, and others intend to join us. It is not desired to build up a large settlement or a great institution here, but to provide a place where a few can bring up and educate their children according to the instruction the Lord has given us. It is expected to build a church and school building this fall, if the Lord is willing, the material, or at least part of it, having been promised. The sentiment of the community has not been very favorable toward Adventists, but of late some have expressed a desire to know more of the truth as it has been revealed to us. God grant that we may both tell it to them in wisdom and live it before them in sincerity. We ask the prayer of all readers of the REVIEW for the school at Lovell.
