are to be established outside the cities. Especially is it
important that our youth be shielded
from the temptations of city life. {CL 31.1}
13. Let men of sound judgment be appointed, not to publish
abroad their intentions, but to
search for such properties in the rural districts, in easy
access to the cities, suitable for
small training schools for workers, and where facilities may
also be provided for treating
the sick and weary souls who know not the truth. Look for such
places just out from thelarge cities, where suitable buildings may
be secured, either as a gift from the owners, or
purchased at a reasonable price by the gifts of our people. Do
not erect buildings in the
noisy cities.--Medical Ministry, pp. 308, 309. (1909) {CL
30.3}
14. It would be well to secure a place as a home for our mission
workers outside of the city. It
is of great importance that they have the advantages of pure
water, free from all
contamination. For this reason, it is often well to consider the
advantages of locations
among the hills. And there should be some land, where fruit and
vegetables might be
raised for the benefit of the workers. Let it be a mission in as
healthful a place as possible,
and let there be connected with it a small sanitarium. A place
in the city should also be
secured where simple treatments might be administered. {MM
30815. In order that some of these places may be secured for our
work, it will be necessary
carefully to husband the resources, no extravagant outlay being
made in any one place.
The very simplicity of the buildings that we use will be a
lesson in harmony with the
truths we have to present. For our sanitarium work we must
secure buildings whose
appearance and arrangement will be a demonstration of health
principles. {MM 309.2}
16. In every city where the truth is proclaimed, churches are to
be raised up. In some large
cities there must be churches in various parts of the city. In
some places, meetinghouses
will be offered for sale at reasonable rates, which can be
purchased advantageously. In
some important places there will be offered for sale properties
that are especially suitable
for sanitarium work. The advantages of these should be carefully
considered. {MM 309.1}
