(1909年2月16日写于加州疗养院)
已经有人问这个问题：为有色人种儿童设立的孤儿院是否应该设在奥克伍德学校农场。{SpTB12x 2.1}
在我访问亨茨维尔很久以前，奥克伍德学校农场就在异象中被呈现在我面前，既看到它当时的样子，也看到它若是得到明智的管理和适当的照顾将来就能成为的样子。{SpTB12x 2.2}
那个地方应该成为的样子的异象，包括一所孤儿院和一个疗养院。我还蒙指示看到耕种的田地，种有蔬菜的园子，和结果累累的果园。{SpTB12x 2.3}
我蒙指示，主希望有献身的无私的基督徒工人在奥克伍德学校工作，他们会熟练地利用奥克伍德农场的有利条件使学校中的学生和孤儿院中的孩子们受益。这些有利条件应该得到聪明地使用，帮助供应孤儿的需要，并使他们获得会令主喜悦的教育和培训。{SpTB12x 2.4}
我已蒙指示，为了奥克伍德事业的发展，应该得到最好的那等工人，因为应该在这里做成一项特别的工作，显明通过献身的熟练教师的操劳，宗教教育会为孤儿和被遗弃的人做什么。在这所学校工作的教师必须谨记，他们是在与基督的血所买来的产业打交道，藉着认真的、敬畏上帝的操劳，这些灵魂可以成为主的家庭成员。……{SpTB12x 2.5}
当这个亮光被赐给我的时候，我还从未见过亨茨维尔。我蒙指示看见亨茨维尔会成为那些愿意尽本分帮助黑人的人特别感兴趣的一个地方。{SpTB12x 2.6}

注：以下几页是在1908年夏天准备出版的，但是手稿在印刷途中丢失了。然后，为了在帐篷大会上使用，印发了关于这项工作的证言的其它选段，标题为“特别证言，系列二，第12号。”现在丢失的手稿已经修复，作为“特别证言，系列二，第12x号。”由于出版工作的推迟，使得含有1909年2月16日关于孤儿院的信息得以发表。{SpTB12x 2.7}

SpTB12X-《THE HUNTSVILLE SCHOOL》
【The Orphanage】
(Sanitarium, Cal.,February 16, 1909.)
The question has been asked if the orphanage for colored children ought to be located on the Oakwood school farm.{SpTB12x 2.1}[1]
Long before I visited Huntsville, the Oakwood school farm was presented to me, both as it then was and as it might be in the future if wisely managed and properly cared for.{SpTB12x 2.2}[2]
The presentation of what the place ought to be, included an orphanage and a sanitarium. I was also shown cultivated fields, gardens where vegetables were raised, and orchards bearing abundance of fruit.{SpTB12x 2.3}[3]
Instruction was given me that the Lord would have consecrated, unselfish Christian workers connected with the Oakwood school, who would use skillfully the advantages of the Oakwood farm for the benefit of the students in the school and the children in the orphanage. These advantages were to be used wisely in helping to supply the necessities of the orphans, and in obtaining for them an education and training that would be pleasing to the Lord.{SpTB12x 2.4}[4]
I have been instructed that for the development of the Oakwood enterprises, the very best class of workers should be secured, because a special work is to be done here in revealing what religious education will do for the orphans and the outcasts through the labors of consecrated and skilful teachers. The teachers connected with the school must bear in mind that they are dealing with the purchase of the blood of Christ, with souls who, through earnest, God-fearing labors, may become members of the Lord’s family....{SpTB12x 2.5}[5]
When this light was given me, I had never seen Huntsville. I was shown that Huntsville would be a place of special interest to those who would act their part to help the colored people.---Ellen G. White---{SpTB12x 2.6}[6]
Note.—The following pages were prepared for publication in the summer of 1908, but the manuscripts were lost on their way to the printer. Then, for use at the camp-meetings, other selections from the testimonies regarding the work, were printed and circulated, under the title of “special testimonies, series B, NO. 12.” and now that the lost manuscripts have been restored, they are issued as “special testimonies, series B, NO. 12x.” the delay in publishing makes it possible to include the message of February 16, 1909, regarding the Orphanage.---W. C. White---{SpTB12x 2.7}[7]
