1907年10月30日写于加利福尼亚州洛马林达
致梅布尔·沃克曼夫人
我亲爱的孙女：
我刚才读了你写给你父亲的一封信，现在要开始给你写信。……{PC 295.1}
上星期日晚上我们在火车上，我没能睡得很好。第二天晚上我们是在洛马林达度过的。我睡在一张很好的床上，但却很清醒，只休息了很短的时间。在星期二清早的聚会上，我向人们讲了话。早餐后我乘车出去了一个小时。{PC 295.2}
星期二下午，我会见了天堂谷疗养院的股东。他们的理事会会议在保龄球馆举行。出来的时候，我们不得不穿过会场，那里有很多听众。伯登弟兄请我留下来，因为他们正讲到在医疗方面应该从事的高等教育工作，但我认为我最好不要留下来。我爬了一段长长的楼梯后，来到了三楼我的房间，那天这是第三次了。我发现了一篇我一年前写的文章，关于建立最高级别学校的问题，这种学校不会教导学生在治疗病人时使用药物。我拿着这篇文章又下了楼，回去聚会。{PC 295.3}
伯登长老正在宣读摘自我曾写到学校工作的一些信函的内容。他读完之后，我宣读了我带来的那篇文章，非常切题。文中提到了应该在洛马林达这里开办的学校。这里对学校有极好的有利条件。农场、果园、牧场、大的建筑物、充足的场地，美丽的景色——这一切都是大福气。如果现在大家都能明智地掌握这里应该做的工作，就会取得成功。{PC 295.4}
在这次聚会之前的几个星期，我一直觉得很难受。然而主在这里大大赐福了我，为此我非常感恩。主按着这个场合所需要的赐给了我力量。{PC 295.5}
星期四早上，撒拉来到我的房间，告诉我该去参加清早的聚会了。我从三点一直在写作。我参加了聚会，讲了约三刻钟，然后举行了见证聚会。我听不清说了些什么，但有人告诉我，这是一次有趣的聚会。在我所有的讲话中，我都努力介绍基督为我们的智慧、我们的圣洁和我们的公义。{PC 295.6}
Loma Linda, California October 30, 1907
Mrs. Mabel Workman
My dear granddaughter,
I have just read a letter that you wrote to your father, and will now begin a letter to you...?{PC 295.1} Last Sunday night we were on the cars, and I was unable to sleep well. The next night we spent at Loma Linda. I had a good bed, but was wakeful, and had but a short period of rest. At the early morning meeting on Tuesday, I spoke to the people. After breakfast I rode out for an hour.?{PC 295.2}
Tuesday afternoon I met with the stockholders of the Paradise Valley Sanitarium. Their council-meeting was held in the bowling alley. In coming out, we had to pass through the assembly room, where there was a large audience. Brother Burden asked me to stay, as they were speaking of the work of higher education that should be carried on in medical lines, but I thought it best not to do this. After I had climbed the long flight of stairs to my room on the third floor, which was the third time for that day. I found an article that I had written about a year ago, in reference to the establishment of a school of the highest order, in which the students would not be taught to use drugs in the treatment of the sick. With this I went down stairs again, and returned to the meeting.?{PC 295.3}
Elder Burden was reading some extracts from letters that I had written about the school work. When he had finished I read the article I had with me, which was right to the point. It spoke of the school that should be operated here at Loma Linda. Here there are wonderful advantages for a school. The farm, the orchard, the pasture land, the large buildings, the ample grounds, the beauty, all are a great blessings. If all will now take hold intelligently of the work that should be done here, there will be success.?{PC 295.4}
For some weeks before this meeting, I had been feeling very poorly. But the Lord has greatly blessed me here, and for this I am very thankful. The Lord has imparted to me strength as the occasion has demanded.?{PC 295.5}
Thursday morning, Sara came to my room, and told me it was time to go to the early meeting. I had been writing since?three o’clock. I attended the meeting, and spoke for about three-quarters of an hour, and then there was a testimony meeting. I could not hear what was said, but I was told that it was an interesting meeting. In all my talks I have tried to present Christ as our wisdom, our sanctification, and our righteousness.?{PC 295.6}
