After listening again to Sister White's account of what had been shown her concerning the work, and of the providences of God that had led to the purchase of the Paradise Valley Sanitarium, I was convinced that the hand of the Lord was in it, hence I consented to come down and spend a month in looking over the situation. I had, however, read too carefully the communications sent me concerning the prospects of the work to be discouraged by any such representations. When it was learned that I was thinking of coming to southern California, several took occasion to warn me against being foolish enough to connect with such a hopeless enterprise. Just then there was considerable agitation concerning the purchase of Paradise Valley Sanitarium. On returning to America in February, 1904, I was again solicited by Sister White to come to southern California to assist in the medical work.
The Lord, however, was evidently preparing my mind for the work in this field, although at the time I did not know it. At that time I felt no desire to return to America, and so wrote her. The communications sent were most carefully read, as I had been connected with the starting of the Vegetarian Cafe and Los Angeles treatment rooms before I left for Australia. Testimonies and Experiences in Connection with the Glendale SanitariumĮarly in 1903, while I was in Australia, Sister White forwarded to me a large bundle of manuscript concerning the medical work in southern California, and a little later she wrote me concerning the reverses that were coming to the medical work in Los Angeles, asking how I would feel about returning to America to help in the work.
