Sanitarium, California June 20, 1908

致A.G.丹尼尔斯长老，美国首都华盛顿，塔科马帕克站

Elder A. G. Daniells, Takoma Park Station, Washington, D. C.

我一直在读你关于联合学院所需要的《圣经教师》的信。{PC 265.2}

I have been reading letters from you concerning the Bible teacher needed at Union College.{PC 265.2}

我要说，欧文长老就在他的位置上，他是在上帝希望他在的地方。上帝有一项特别重要的工作要在加利福尼亚州南部做成；根据我所得到的亮光，我知道现在必须完善这项工作。{PC 265.3}

I will say that Elder Owen is needed just where he is, and he is where the Lord would have him be. God has a work of special importance to be done in Southern California, and I know from the light given me that this work must now be perfected.{PC 265.3}

我蒙指示：洛马林达是一个十分重要的地方，需要我们能提供的最好的圣经教师。这里聚集着大有前途的青年，今后要在圣工中充任重要位置。他们应该有最好的导师，有明白圣经真理的有能力的圣经教师。圣经所显示的真理和公义应成为我们工人的堡垒。{PC 265.4}

Loma Linda has been specified to me as a very important place, and one which demands the best Bible teacher we can supply. There are promising youth here who are to be qualified to fill important positions in the work. They should have the best class of instructors, and capable Bible teachers who understand the truths of the word. The truth and righteousness revealed in the word of God is to be the stronghold of our workers.{PC 265.4}

主已把必须在洛马林达完成的工作的大纲指示我，我知道我们必须在那里付出最好的努力。主希望最聪明最能干的人在那里，因为我们要通过最有教育才能的人培养传道工作者。这项工作要按照主的命令进行，而不要按照人的推测。{PC 265.5}

There has been given to me an outline of the work that must be done at Loma Linda, and I know that we must give to that place our best labors. The Lord wants the wisest talent there, for by means of our very best educational talent we are to train our ministerial laborers. The work is to be carried after the Lord’s order, and not according to the supposition of man.{PC 265.5}

主已经赐给我们极有利的条件，使我们可以在洛马林达建立圣工，进行发展。在洛马林达应建一所学校，训练作布道工作的讲道人及护士，以致能从事有效的服务。主呼召最有才能的人加入这个基地推进祂所指定的工作。这些人不要求最高的工资，而是站在基督一边从事祂的圣工。{PC 265.6}

The Lord has given us a wonderful advantage in enabling us to secure Loma Linda for the establishment of the work in progress there. A school is to be built up at Loma Linda that will train Bible workers and missionary nurses for?efficient service. The Lord calls for the best talents to be united at this center for the carrying on of the work as He has directed, not the talent that will demand the largest salary, but the talent that will place itself on the side of Christ to work in His lines.{PC 265.6}

我们需要医科教师传授不用药物的医术。如果医师得不到最高的工资就拒绝服务，我们不可贿赂他们。我们应当预备一班愿意遵循基督的方法的工人。{PC 266.1}

We must have medical instructors who will teach the science of healing without the use of drugs. If physicians refuse to give their services unless they can be paid the highest wage, we shall not bribe them. We are to prepare a company of workers who will follow Christ’s methods.{PC 266.1}

我们的教育工作缺乏财力，因为我们没有完全听从主的指示。主现在要求我们付出精力和热心去实施祂的方法。《基督比喻实训》和《服务真诠》是主指定的媒介，用来给我们的机构经济援助。按照祂制定的计划，可以继续进行教育工作。我祈求上帝教导我们明白祂的道路，帮助我们天天学习基督的样式。{PC 266.2}

There has been a dearth of means for our educational work because we have neglected to follow fully the Lord’s directions. The Lord now asks that energy and zeal be given to the carrying out of His methods. The books “Christ’s Object Lessons” and “Ministry of Healing” are the Lord’s specified agencies for the financial aid of our institutions. By following the plan that He has laid down, a continual work of education may be carried on. I pray that God may teach us to understand His ways, and help us to learn daily of Christ. -{PC 266.2}
