Ellen Gould White
What does Ellen White write about...
Ellen Gould White über: "New York"
Answer
Ellen G. White emphasized the importance of evangelizing New York City as a critical center for missionary labor and training. She highlighted the need for establishing vegetarian restaurants, securing meeting halls, and founding sanitariums and schools in its vicinity to reach diverse classes of people. Furthermore, she urged church workers in New York to maintain unity, avoid sensational extremes, and present the message solidly and thoroughly.
A Center for Missionary Effort in New York
»Your work in New York has been started in right lines. You are to make in New York a center for missionary effort, from which work can be carried forward successfully. The Lord desires this center to be a training school for workers, and nothing is to be allowed to interrupt the work. After the people have embraced the truth and taken their stand, then the Lord will prepare them to be educated for the full reception of Bible truth. You must select as helpers men who can carry the work forward solidly and thoroughly, laboring for the conversion of the whole being, body, soul, and spirit.«
The Need for Laborers and Health Work in Greater New York
»In Greater New York the message is to go forth as a lamp that burneth. God will raise up laborers for this work, and His angels will go before them. Though our large cities are fast reaching a condition similar to the condition of the world before the Flood, though they are as Sodom for wickedness, yet there are in them many honest souls who, as they listen to the startling truths of the advent message, will feel the conviction of the Spirit. New York is ready to be worked. In that great city the message of truth will be given with the power of God. The Lord calls for workmen.... It was presented to me that we should not rest satisfied because we have a vegetarian restaurant in Brooklyn, but that others should be established in other sections of the city.«
Reaching Businessmen and Establishing a Center of Truth
»You should feel a decided responsibility for the working of New York City. The men in the business houses of New York and other large cities, as verily as the heathen in foreign lands, must be reached with the message.... Go to New York City. Look the ground over carefully, and see whether it is advisable to purchase the hall and the land on which it stands.... Pray, pray, pray, for if possible Satan will close the doors which have opened for the entrance of truth. The Lord desires a center for the truth to be established in the great, wicked city of New York.«
Call for Unity in Proclaiming the Message in New York
»Brother and Sister Haskell have been working. God has worked with them.... these two faithful servants worked with us in Australia, and they are now working in New York City by the appointment of God.... I had a message to the believers in New York City, that all who are truly converted unto the proclamation of the third angel's message must not present to the world, to angels, and to men, division in the place of unity. The truth of God sanctifies the receiver to be a channel and representative of His grace to the world and to angels and to men.«
Securing Meeting Halls in and Around New York
»We see indeed the fields in every direction in and outside of New York to be worked. There should be a hall secured to call the people together in New York City, and from surrounding localities out of New York City. Will all who are now interested in this work during the Week of Prayer make their gifts and offerings, as the Spirit of the Lord shall prompt them to do, in helping the objects of religious missions that are greatly in need of help?«
