would give opportunity for the training of workers for the
darker heathen nations. In this way the efficiency of our
experienced workers would be multiplied a hundredfold." p.
383, Para. 1, [LS15].
While broad foundations were to be laid in lands whence
many workers might quickly be prepared to go forth to the
ends of the earth, the less favored regions were not to be
neglected. In this connection Mrs. White wrote: "The cry
comes from far off countries, 'Come over and help us.'
These are not so easily reached, and not so ready for the
harvest, as are the fields more nearly within our sight;
but they must not be neglected." p. 383, Para. 2, [LS15].
It was her great desire to see the message of present
truth proclaimed in every land, that led Mrs. White during
the 1901 General Conference to outline very clearly God's
purpose in building up the work along broad lines in the
favored regions of the earth. It was her desire to see the
message proclaimed in heathen lands, that led her to urge
the establishment of institutional training centers in
Great Britain, and on the Continent of Europe, as well as
in Australia and in the Southern States of America. She
pointed out the folly of restricting the work in such
places. p. 383, Para. 3, [LS15].
"Let us not forget the English speaking countries," she
pleaded, "where, if the truth were presented, many would
receive and practise it. London has been presented to me
again and again as a place in which a great work is to be
done. . . . Why have not workers been sent there, men and
women who could have planned for the advancement of the
work? p. 384, Para. 1, [LS15].
Self-Supporting Missionaries -- "I have wondered why our
people, those who are not ordained ministers, but who have
a connection with God, who understand the Scriptures, do
not open the Word to others. If they would engage in this
work, great blessing would come to their own souls. . . .
p. 384, Para. 2, [LS15].
"Let no one suppose that the work in London can be carried
forward by one or two. This is not the right plan. While
there must be those who can oversee the work, there is to
be an army of workers striving to reach the different
classes of people. . . . p. 384, Para. 3, [LS15].
