Spalding and Magan's Unpublished Manuscript Testimonies - Ellen G. White

uilding where our children can be taught the
Word of God, which is the life-blood and the flesh
of the Son of God. "Whoso eateth my flesh" He
declares, "and drinketh My blood, hath eternal life.
. . It is the Spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth
nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are
spirit, and they are life." We are to eat and drink
the Word of life, carrying out its instruction much
more closely than we have ever done before.
Will you not take an interest in the erection of
this school building in which the Word of God is to
be taught? One man, when asked how much he was
willing to give to the school in labor, said that if we
would give him three dollars a day and his board
and lodging, he would help us. But we do not want
offers of this kind. Help will come to us. We
expect to have a school building, in which the
Bible can be taught, in which prayers can be
offered to God, and in which the children can be
instructed in Bible principles. We expect that every
one who can take hold with us will want to have a
share in erecting this building. We expect to train a
little army of workers on this hillside.
