Loma Linda (Cal.) School

By S. N. Haskell

ABOUT one year ago a call was made through the columns of the REVIEW for help in selling twenty thousand copies of The Help for India number of the Bible Training School. The brethren and sisters responded heartily, and in about three months twenty-five thousand of the papers were sold, and Brother and Sister Burgess were on their way to India. They are now in India, working faithfully to hold up the light. God has greatly blessed them in giving them favor with the natives, and souls have taken their stand to keep the commandments of God. They were the first Seventh-day Adventist workers among eighty million Hindustani people. Many thousand pages of literature have been printed and circulated among that people since they went among them. The money received from the sale of the twenty-five thousand ten-cent papers is still supporting them in that needy field.

Another call now comes to us. The spirit of prophecy has said that a school should be established at Loma Linda, Cal., to educate gospel medical missionary evangelists. There is a need of funds to establish this school. We have printed twenty thousand of the Special Bible Training School to raise funds to help this school at Loma Linda. Some eight or nine thousand have already been sold; but there are yet more than ten thousand to be sold. We thought that many of our brethren and sisters scattered throughout the country would gladly help in this good work. Sisters Ida Lackey and Edith McDonald, who were members of our Bible training-school in Nashville, Tenn., are doing all they can to sell the papers.

The papers sell for ten cents a copy. Those wishing to help are invited to send for as many as they wish, paying the price, ten cents a copy, and then selling the papers to their neighbors, thus getting all the money back they have paid out, and at the same time placing the truth in many homes, besides helping to establish this school which the Lord says should be founded.

Shall we not come up to the help of the Lord, brethren? Send for a hundred or more of these papers, and go to work doing missionary work among your neighbors. This special number of the Training School is filled with the message. It will be a threefold missionary work: the money you pay for the papers will help to establish the Loma Linda school; you will be blessed in your own soul as you do the work; and you will place the truth in the hands of those to whom you sell the papers.

Send for any number from one to one thousand, and your order will be promptly filled. The price is ten cents a copy. Send all orders direct to the Bible Training School, South Lancaster, Mass. Funds are greatly needed to build cottages and provide the necessary facilities for the school.

The Lord is soon coming, and we need to do all in our power to give the light of the truth to our neighbors. By helping to sell the papers you can do this, and also help to open the school, where we trust many workers will be educated to bear a part in the closing work.

I thank the Lord that he permits me, after passing threescore and ten years, over half a century in the third angel's message, still to have a part in his work. Where help is most needed is where I wish to be found. S. N. HASKELL.
