Spalding and Magan's Unpublished Manuscript Testimonies - Ellen G. White

So far they have received very little help in this
enterprise, compared with the needs and
importance of the work. They have worked hard,
and have laid plans for such an education as is
essential to prepare workers to be able to teach the
ignorant, and to explain the Scriptures. Besides the
study of books, the students are taught to till the
soil, to build houses, and to perform other useful
labor.
The location of the Madison school is
excellent, and possesses great advantages for the
school work. But the leaders in this work are
carrying too heavy a burden, and should be
relieved from the great anxiety that has rested upon
them, because of a lack of means with which to do
what must be done to provide suitable conditions
for a successful school.
Shall we allow these workers to be burdened
beyond their strength, carrying forward almost
alone a work in which they should receive the
hearty co-operation of their brethren.
