I saw that there would be a paper published upon the<br />

Pacific coast. There would be a health institute<br />

established there, and a publishing house created. p. 210,<br />

Para. 1, [LS15].<br />

Time is short; and all who believe this message, should<br />

feel a solemn obligation resting upon them to be<br />

disinterested workers, exerting their influence on the<br />

right side, and never by word or action be found arrayed<br />

against those who are seeking to advance the interests <strong>of</strong><br />

God's cause. The ideas <strong>of</strong> our brethren are altogether too<br />

narrow. They expect but little. Their faith is too small.<br />

p. 210, Para. 2, [LS15].<br />

A paper published on the Pacific coast would give strength<br />

and influence to the message. The light God has given us<br />

isn't worth much to the world unless it can be seen by<br />

being presented before them. I declare to you our vision<br />

whether they received or rejected the truth. General<br />

efforts are made, but we fail to work to the point by<br />

personal effort. We do not approach men and women in a<br />

manner that impresses them that we have a personal interest<br />

for them, and that we feel deeply in earnest for their<br />

salvation, and do not mean to give them up. p. 211, Para.<br />

1, [LS15].<br />

We hold too much at a distance those who do not believe<br />

the truth. We call them and wait for them to come to us to<br />

inquire for the truth. Many will not be inclined to do<br />

this, for they are in darkness and error, and cannot<br />

discern the truth and its vital importance. Satan holds<br />

them with his firm power, and if we would help them, we<br />

must show a personal interest and love for their souls, and
