CHAPTER 36 THROUGH “RIVERS OF DIFFICULTY”

“IT WAS the Lord’s purpose that the Loma Linda Sanitarium should become the property of our people, and He brought it about at a time when the rivers of difficulty were full and overflowing their banks.”—Testimonies for the Church 9:272.SHM 403.1

Many years have passed since the call came to cross these “rivers of difficulty,” and it is now possible to see a remarkable fulfillment of the assurance given at the same time:SHM 403.2

“When He [the Lord] designates that a certain property should be secured for the advancement of His cause and the building up of His work, ... He will make the doing of that work possible, if those who have experience will show their faith and trust in His purposes, and will move forward promptly to secure the advantages He points out.”—Ibid.SHM 403.3
