    Lt 240, 1905

    White, W. C.; White, May

    Glendale, California

    September 7, 1905

    Previously unpublished.

    Dear Son Willie and Daughter May White,—

    This day Henry Kellogg had a visit with me. We had a good talk together. He feels as I feel in regard to Loma Linda—that the Lord is signifying to His people that it is now time to make decided efforts to open these new fields. And the Lord has removed objections by placing His helping hand to take hold of the work here in Southern California.20LtMs, Lt 240, 1905, par. 1

    The work accomplished by Elder Simpson is a grand work, but unless followed up the enemy will use his evil angels to do the work he would have them to do. We have a vigilant, untiring foe to contend with; and if we move in any hesitating, slack way, then Satan will gather in his sheaves. We want the sheaves to be gathered in, and we must have brave workers. We now need men who will be prepared to make self-denying sacrifice. Let every one of us press forward. I have a work to do. I do not know as it is my duty to remain here, but I have not dared to leave.20LtMs, Lt 240, 1905, par. 2

    I send you copies of writing which I have written between three and seven o’clock a.m. I thank the Lord for His strength and His grace to do this. Sister Peck is here. Dores and Ella and Mabel left here for Los Angeles this forenoon. It is now nearly half-past four o’clock. I have written sixteen pages this day and I am scribbling these lines.20LtMs, Lt 240, 1905, par. 3

    If you could be here Sabbath, I would be pleased. Then I could weigh matters, whether it is best to go to Los Angeles. What think you? Whether I shall speak here Sabbath, that is settled. Whether I remain three weeks is to be carefully considered. Dores has been sick. Ella has been sick. It may be best for them to return home and I remain, and Sister Peck remain with me.20LtMs, Lt 240, 1905, par. 4

    Brother Kellogg put in my hands a ten-dollar gold piece to get the boys a donkey, but would it not be better to add something to it and get something more after the horse size? Do just as you think best. You can get the money from the [office]. I will retain the ten in gold, for we may need it.20LtMs, Lt 240, 1905, par. 5

    I am better today, and I hope to keep free from colds. I am not over this one yet, but shall speak Sabbath. Shall undertake it at any rate. So if I remain over Sabbath, I will speak. If you think best for me to go to Santa Anna, would you come down and have this matter of Loma Linda settled and opened as soon as possible? I do not urge anything, but here are four weeks before the meeting commences. I could call at several places in that time if it is thought best. I think Elder Burden would appreciate your help just now in counseling and planning. I will come straight home if I feel it not best to remain.20LtMs, Lt 240, 1905, par. 6
