“In many places schools should be established.”“Every city in the Southern States, and every town and village, must have earnest work done for it. That field will be missionary soil until many churches are raised up.”
(PH012 9.4)
“There is a wide field before us in the establishment of family mission schools.”
(PH012 9.5)
If, at the close of the war, Seventh-day Adventists had entered the South as they might have done, what a different place the South would be today. Schools and sanitariums would have been the means of transforming many sections. But when a few of our people came South some of them returned to the North with a story similar to the report of the ten spies who returned from Canaan. And as a people we have been more ready to believe this false report than to accept the Lord’s own words concerning the field and its people.
