Preparing for the Issue
The trades unions and confederacies of the world are a snare. Keep out of
them, and away from them, brethren. Have nothing to do with them. Because
of these unions and confederacies, it will soon be very difficult for our institutions
to carry on their work in the cities. My warning is: Keep out of the cities. Build no
sanitariums in the cities. Educate our people to get out of the cities into the
country, where they can obtain a small piece of land, and make a home for
themselves and their children....
Our restaurants must be in the cities; for otherwise the workers in these
restaurants could not reach the people and teach them the principles of right
living. And for the present we shall have to occupy meetinghouses in the cities.
But erelong there will be such strife and confusion in the cities, that those who
wish to leave them will not be able. We must be preparing for these issues. This is
the light that is given me.
Ellen G. White
