    Instruction to Secure Loma Linda

    Following the telegram sent to Elder J. A. Burden from Washington, D. C., asking him to secure the property at Loma Linda “without delay,” Sister White wrote:PH061 2.4

    “Your letter has just been read. I had no sooner finished reading it than I said, ‘I will consult no one; for I have no question at all about the matter.’ I advised Willie to send you a telegram without spending time to ask the advice of the brethren. Secure the property by all means, so that it can be held, and then obtain all the money you can and make sufficient payment to hold the place. This is the very property that we ought to have. Do not delay; for it is just what is needed. As soon as it is secured, a working force can begin operations in it. I think that sufficient help can be secured to carry this matter through. I want you to be sure to lose no time in securing the right to purchase the property. We will do our utmost to help you raise the money. I know that Redlands and Riverside are to be worked, and I pray that the Lord may be gracious, and not allow any one else to get this property instead of us.”PH061 2.5

    The letter from which the foregoing paragraph is quoted was written May 14, 1905. “Be assured, my brother,” Sister White wrote in a letter dated May 28, “that I never advise anything unless I have a decided impression that it should be carried out, and unless I am firmly resolved to assist.... By all means secure the property if you can; for I believe it to be the very place the Lord desires us to have.”PH061 3.1
