洛马林达疗养院的主要好处之一就是周围各种美丽的风景。{PC 325.1}
可是比的壮丽的风景、美丽的建筑和宽广的场地更重要的是，这所疗养院离人口稠密的地区较近，因而有机会把第三位天使的信息传给许许多多的人。我们应有清楚的属灵眼光，否则就不能领会上帝为我们传光给世界所作明显的安排。大危机就在我们面前，现在我们应当通过上帝为此赐给我们的媒介，传出警告的信息。我们要记住，一个最重要的媒介就是医疗布道工作。我们决不可忘记疗养院建立的伟大目标，就是在地上推进上帝最后的工作。{PC 325.2}
洛马林达不仅要作为一个疗养院，而且要成为一个教育基地。我们有了这块地方，就有了使这个机构的工作具有教育性质的重大责任。在这里要建立一所学校，培养福音医疗布道士。{PC 325.3}
这工作所涉及的甚广，所以必须有一个适切的开始。主在这个园地有一种特别的工作要做成。祂指示我要请S.N.赫斯格长老和夫人来帮助我们正式创办一种与他们在纳什维尔和埃文代尔所做的同样工作。他们来了，现在正全力以赴要做一番扎实的工作。他们定期在机构上课，并且在圣贝纳迪诺建立了一个圣经培训学校，一种影响正从那个中心扩展到这整个地区。W.E.豪威尔教授夫妇已经同意与洛马林达的工作力量联合，努力发展必须在那里开办的学校。当他们本着信心前进时，主必行在他们前面，预备道路。{PC 325.4}
(Extract from?The Review and Herald, June 21, 1906)
One of the chief advantages of situation at Loma Linda is the pleasing variety of charming scenery on every side.?{PC 325.1}
But more important than magnificent scenery and beautiful buildings and spacious grounds, is the close proximity of this institution to a densely populated district, and the opportunity thus afforded of communicating to many, many people a knowledge of the third angel’s message. We are to have clear spiritual discernment, else we shall fail to understanding the opening providences of God that are preparing the way for us to enlighten the world. The great crisis is just before us. Now is the time for us to sound the warning message, by the agencies that God has given us for this purpose. Let us remember that one most important agency is our medical missionary work. Never are we to lose sight of the great object for which our sanitariums are established, the advancement of God’s closing work in the earth.?{PC 325.2}
Loma Linda is to be not only a sanitarium, but an educational center. With the possession of this place comes the weighty responsibility of making the work of the institution educational in character. A school is to be established here for the training of gospel medical missionary evangelists.?{PC 325.3}
Much is involved in this work, and it is very essential that a right beginning be made. The Lord has a special work to be done in this part of the field. He instructed me to call upon Elder and Mrs. S. N. Haskell to help us in getting properly started a work similar to that which they had carried on in Nashville and at Avondale. They came, and are now laboring with all the powers of their being to do a solid work. They conduct classes regularly in the institution, and have established a Bible training-school at San Bernardino, from which center is?extending an influence throughout this district. Prof. W. E. Howell and his wife have consented to unite with the forces at Loma Linda in an effort to develop the school that must be carried on there. As they go forward in faith, the Lord will go before the, preparing the way.?{PC 325.4}
