crowned with speedy triumph. "The purpose and ends to be
attained by consecrated missionaries," Mrs. White declared,
"are very comprehensive. The field for missionary operation
is not limited by caste or nationality. The field is the

places of the earth in a much shorter time than many think
possible." p. 337, Para. 3, [LS15].
It was on this same occasion of the opening of the
Australasian Bible School, which afterward developed into

p. 338, Para. 1, [LS15].

during this long sickness, as follows: p. 338, Para. 5,
[LS15].
"I am rejoiced to report to you the goodness, the mercy,
and the blessing of the Lord bestowed upon me. I am still
compassed with infirmities, but I am improving. The great
