And in the farewell service marking the close <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Conference, she once more appealed to the delegates<br />

assembled from all parts <strong>of</strong> the world, to endure as<br />

beholding the Invisible. She exhorted every worker to go<br />

forth in the strength <strong>of</strong> the Mighty One <strong>of</strong> Israel. She<br />

declared that while she might never have the privilege <strong>of</strong><br />

meeting her brethren in another Conference like this one,<br />

yet she would pray for them, and prepare to meet them all<br />

in the kingdom <strong>of</strong> glory. p. 421, Para. 2, [LS15].<br />

Important Counsels -- It was during the 1909 General<br />

Conference that Mrs. White read a manuscript calling for<br />

loyalty to the principles <strong>of</strong> health reform; and she also<br />

spoke to the delegates on the same subject. Another<br />

manuscript read was "A plea for Medical Missionary<br />

Evangelists;" and still another "The Loma Linda College <strong>of</strong><br />

Evangelists". p. 422, Para. 1, [LS15].<br />

Following the Conference session, Mrs. White met twice<br />

with the members <strong>of</strong> the General Conference Committee,<br />

before going on to Philadelphia and other cities <strong>of</strong> the<br />

East, and thence to campmeetings and institutions in the<br />

Central States and the Middle West, en route to her<br />

California home. p. 422, Para. 2, [LS15].<br />

In her interviews with the General Conference Committee,<br />

Mrs. White read manuscripts dealing with some <strong>of</strong> the<br />

problems that were perplexing the brethren. The call to do<br />

a much larger work in the cities at home and abroad, than<br />

had hitherto been attempted, could be responded to only as<br />

men and means could be found to use in the carrying forward<br />

<strong>of</strong> such work. In order that a broad and far reaching<br />

campaign might be inaugurated quickly and effectively, Mrs.<br />

White suggested the advisability <strong>of</strong> releasing for<br />

evangelistic service some <strong>of</strong> the workers bearing heavy<br />

burdens in institutional centers. She said: p. 422, Para.<br />

3, [LS15].<br />

"For the conduct <strong>of</strong> affairs at the various centers <strong>of</strong> our<br />

work, we must endeavor, as far as possible, to find<br />

consecrated men who have been trained in business lines. We<br />

must guard against tying up at these centers <strong>of</strong> influence<br />

men who could do a more important work on the public<br />

platform, in presenting before unbelievers the truths <strong>of</strong><br />

God's word. . . . p. 422, Para. 4, [LS15].
