Spalding and Magan's Unpublished Manuscript Testimonies - Ellen G. White

I appeal to our brethren in South Dakota to help
in this emergency, and make a liberal gift to the

school building. Such a building should have been
provided from them long ago. Let us not leave
these men to work under present disadvantages,
when time is too precious, and the need for trained
workers in the South is so great.

It is high time that our churches were awakened to
their duty to this needy field. The light must shine
forth amid the moral darkness of ignorance and
superstition. The truth in its simplicity must be
brought to those who are in ignorance.

teachers should have the hearty support of God's
people. Therefore I ask you and your associates on
the conference committee to act liberally in helping
