Extracts from a Testimony, Dated October 19, 1908

EGW

“I am burdened, heavily burdened, for the work among the colored people. The gospel is to be presented to the down-trodden negro race.... For many years I have borne a heavy burden in behalf of the colored race. My heart has ached as I have seen the feeling against this race growing stronger and still stronger, and as I have seen that many Seventh-day Adventists are apparently unable to understand the necessity for an earnest work being done quickly. Years are passing into eternity with apparently little done to help those who were recently a race of slaves.”GH November 1, 1908, par. 1

“We should be deeply interested in the establishment of schools for the colored people. And we must not overlook the importance of placing the present truth before the teachers and students in the large colleges for colored people that have been established by men of the world.”GH November 1, 1908, par. 2

“Schools and sanitariums for colored people should be established, and in these the colored youth should be taught and trained for service by the very best teachers that can be employed.”GH November 1, 1908, par. 3

“The powers of hell are working with all their ingenuity to prevent the proclamation of the last message of mercy among the colored people”.GH November 1, 1908, par. 4
