It was a sense of this condition that led to the founding of the Nashville Agricultural 2and Normal Institute near the city of Nashville some five years ago. Those who led in the establishment of this school were counseled by Sister White to locate on the present school farm for the purpose of conducting here a school where teachers and medical missionaries may be trained to carry the gospel to this long-neglected field.

Over twenty related schools have been opened by those brought into this field as a result of the Institute and its work. In these small farm schools, these mission stations in the highlands of the South, something like seven hundred children are being trained into the truth. A wonderful work has been begun, and the number of these schools must be greatly multiplied.

“I saw something of the work that is being done in the mission schools near Nashville. Little companies of workers are going out into the mountains and laboring for those who have not heard the message, and here and there little companies of believers are being raised up. Who would dare to put their hand on such workers and say, You must not labor thus; it costs too much.”

“Every possible means should be devised to establish schools of the Madison order in various parts of the South....You have no time to lose” Does that mean you?
