Chap. 45—Centers of Influence
§3
南方的园地已有了良好的开始。在各种事件的演进中，主已为推进祂的工作施行最奇妙的事。仗已经打了，胜利业已获得。已留下了良好的印象；许多偏见已被清除。{7T 231.1}[1]
§4
A good beginning has been made in the Southern field. In the forward march of events the Lord has wrought most wonderfully for the advancement of His work. Battles have been fought, victories won. Favorable impressions have been made; much prejudice has been removed.?{7T 231.1}[1]
§5
在夜间，我伟大的向导把我带到了南方的一地又一地，一城又一城。我见到有伟大的工作要做——是本应当许多年以前就做的。我们似乎是在看许多的地方。我们首先关心的是工作已经建立起来的地方，和门路已经打开可以开工的地方。我见到了为推进主圣工建立起机构的地方。这些地方其中之一就是格雷斯维尔，另一个地方是亨茨维尔，在那些地方我们有实业方面的学校。这些学校当受到鼓励与帮助，因为是主引领建立起来的。每一家都有自己的优点。{7T 231.2}[2]
§6
In the night season I was taken by my Guide from place to place, from city to city, in the South. I saw the great work to be done—that which ought to have been done years ago. We seemed to be looking at many places. Our first interest was for the places where the work has already been established and for those where the way has opened for a beginning to be made. I saw where there are institutions for the advancement of the Lord’s work. One of these places was Graysville, and another, Huntsville, where we have industrial schools. These schools are to receive encouragement and help, for the Lord led in their establishment. Each has advantages of its own.?{7T 231.2}[2]
§7
根据所赐给我的亮光，得知在希尔德布兰的工作如果管理得当，就会给周围的乡村带来巨大的福惠。我蒙指示，我们必须在这样的地区建立学校，远离城市及其试探。{7T 231.3}[3]
§8
From the light given me I know that the work at Hildebran, if properly managed, will be a great blessing to the surrounding country. I have been instructed that we must establish schools in just such districts, away from the cities and their temptations.?{7T 231.3}[3]
§9
在维克斯堡，亚祖市和南部其它地点小规模的学校为有色人种做成的工作，只有来生才能显明。在这个园地我们需要更多这样的学校。{7T 231.4}[4]
§10
Eternity alone will reveal the work accomplished for the colored people by the small schools at Vicksburg, Yazoo City, and other points in the South. In this field we need many more such schools.?{7T 231.4}[4]
§11
我们必须为教育和培训南方的白人和有色人种的年轻人提供更大的设施。学校要建在远离城市的地方，年轻人可以在那里学习耕种田地并以此来帮助让自己和学校自助。与这些学校相关的各方面工作，无论是农业上的还是机械上的，只要是当地的情况所许可的，都当予以发展。要集资兴建这种学校。学生们可以在其中获得一种有上帝赐福的教育，预备他们为基督得人。他们若与救主联合，就会在灵性上成长，在祂的葡萄园中成为有价值的工人。{7T 231.5}[5]
§12
We must provide greater facilities for the education and training of the youth, both white and colored, in?the South. Schools are to be established away from the cities, where the youth can learn to cultivate the soil and thus help to make themselves and the school self-supporting. In connection with these schools all the different lines of work, whether agricultural or mechanical, that the situation of the place will warrant are to be developed. Let means be gathered for the establishment of such schools. In them students may gain an education that, with God’s blessing, will prepare them to win souls to Christ. If they unite with the Saviour they will grow in spirituality and will become valuable workers in His vineyard.?{7T 231.5}[5]
§13
小型疗养院应当与我们更大规模的学校联合，这样，学生们可以有机会获得医疗布道工作的知识。这方面的工作应当引进到我们的学校，作为常规教育的一部分。小型疗养院应当建立起来，与在格雷斯堡和亨茨维尔地方的学校联合。{7T 232.1}[6]
§14
With our larger schools should be connected small sanitariums, that the students may have opportunity to gain a knowledge of medical missionary work. This line of work is to be brought into our schools as part of the regular instruction. Small sanitariums should be established in connection with the schools at Graysville and Huntsville.?{7T 232.1}[6]
§15
【纳什维尔作为中心】
§16
我们教会应特别关心纳什维尔的工作。目前，这座城市是南方工作的重点。弟兄们选择纳什维尔作为南方工作的重心是主凭着祂的智慧指示他们这样做的。这是一个开始工作的有利地点。我们的工人在这座城市里为有色人种作工要比南方其他许多城市容易。在这所城市里有色人种中间那些不属于我们信仰的人已做了许多工。城里和城市附近有一些专为有色人种办的大型教育机构。这些机构的影响已预备了道路，使我们把这个城市作为工作的中心。{7T 232.2}[7]
§17
【Nashville as a Center】
§18
As a people we should take a special interest in the work at Nashville. At the present time this city is a point of great importance in the Southern field. Our brethren selected Nashville as a center for work in the South because the Lord in His wisdom directed them there. It is a favorable place in which to make a beginning. Our workers will find it easier to labor in this city for the colored race than in many other cities of the South. In this city much interest is taken in the colored people by those not of our faith. In and near the city are large educational institutions for the colored people. The influence of these institutions has prepared the way for us to make this city a center for our work.?{7T 232.2}[7]
§19
真理要进入纳什维尔的各所学校。这些学校的人应得到第三位天使的信息。凡能引起这些学校师生对现代真理的信息感兴趣的一切工作，都应以聪明理智的方法去做。可以向有经验的老师学习有关帮助有色人种最佳方法的宝贵教训。{7T 233.1}[8]
§20
Into the institutions of learning at Nashville the truth is to find entrance. There are those in these institutions who are to be reached by the third angel’s message. Everything that can be done to interest these teachers and students in the message of present truth should now be done, and it should be done in a wise and understanding manner. From the experienced teachers may be learned precious lessons regarding the best ways of helping the colored people.?{7T 233.1}[8]
§21
还应把真理传给那些奉献钱财精力为有色人种服务的人。这些人有帮助提高黑人的高尚宗旨。要让他们看见我们工作的表现，学到实际的教训。我们要尽量清除他们对我们工作所抱的偏见。如果我们的努力符合上帝的旨意，他们中就会有许多人悔改相信。上帝让光照在那些寻求亮光之人的路上。{7T 233.2}[9]
§22
The truth is also to be brought before those who have given of their means and influence for the benefit of the colored race. They have taken a noble stand for the uplifting of this people. They are to see a representation of our work that will be to them an object lesson. We are to do all we can to remove the prejudice that exists in their minds against our work. If the efforts we put forth are in accordance with God’s will, many among them will be convicted and converted. The Lord causes light to shine on the pathway of those who are seeking for light.?{7T 233.2}[9]
§23
纳什维尔在容易接近格雷斯维尔和亨茨维尔的范围内。藉着在纳什维尔的工作，在格雷斯维尔和亨茨维尔的圣工将得以巩固稳定。格雷斯维尔和亨茨维尔离纳什维尔比较近，可以加强那里的工作，并因其而得到加强。{7T 233.3}[10]
§24
Nashville is within easy access of Graysville and Huntsville. By the work in Nashville, the work at Graysville and Huntsville is to be confirmed and settled. Graysville and Huntsville are near enough to Nashville to strengthen the work there and to be strengthened by it.?{7T 233.3}[10]
§25
在纳什维尔开创出版社工作符合上帝的旨意。南方的园地需要有一间印刷厂出版有关现代真理，特别是适合于当地各阶层人士的读物。在南方没有一个城市像在纳什维尔更适合于做出版工作了。建立这样一个机构是一个进步。如果办理得当，就会给南方的圣工带来声誉，并向众多的人传播真理的知识。目前纳什维尔出版社仍需要得到奉献和捐赠的帮助。{7T 233.4}[11]
§26
It was in accordance with God’s purpose that the publishing work was started at Nashville. In the Southern field there is need of a printing office for the publication of the truth for this time, and especially for printing reading matter suitable for the different classes of people in this field. And there is no city in the South better suited than Nashville for the carrying forward of publishing work. The establishing of such an institution is an advance movement. If rightly managed, this institution?will give character to the work in the South and to many souls will be the means of imparting a knowledge of the truth. The Nashville publishing house will still need to be assisted for a time by gifts and offerings.?{7T 233.4}[11]
§27
在纳什维尔也开展了疗养院的工作。这必须要加以智慧的经营并得到支持。医疗布道工作的确是福音事工的助手。它为真理的进入打开门路。{7T 234.1}[12]
§28
Sanitarium work also has been begun in Nashville. This must be wisely managed and given support. Medical missionary work is indeed the helping hand of the gospel ministry. It opens the way for the entrance of truth.?{7T 234.1}[12]
§29
我蒙指示，要告诫我在南方园地的弟兄们，不要匆忙地行动，现在就建立庞大的事业和新的中心，分散他们的人力和财力，因而在他们工作的这个关键时刻削弱他们的力量。而要等待，直到已开始的一些事业更近完全的时候。在格雷斯维尔和亨茨维尔的机构更为坚固的建立起来之前，在以纳什维尔为中心的事业得到加强之前，但愿他们不要匆忙地进入新的事业中。{7T 234.2}[13]
§30
I am instructed to caution my brethren in the Southern field not to move hastily in establishing large enterprises and new centers just now, in a way that will divide their workers and their means, thus weakening their forces at this critical time in their work. Let them wait until some of the interests that have been started approach more nearly to perfection. Let them not rush into new enterprises before the institutions at Graysville and Huntsville are more firmly established and the interests centering in Nashville are strengthened.?{7T 234.2}[13]
§31
至今在南部已经工作的地方，还相当的少。有许许多多的城市还未开工。藉着开设健康食品商店，卫生餐馆和诊疗室，可以建立具有影响力的中心。在作出开端之前，凡需做的事无法尽都指明。负责南方工作的那些人要为此事祷告，并记住上帝在引导。不要让任何狭隘或自私表现出来。要计划好以简单、明智、节俭的方式推进工作。{7T 234.3}[14]
§32
As yet there are comparatively few places in the South that have been worked. There are many, many cities in which nothing has been done. Centers of influence may be established in many places by the opening up of health food stores, hygienic restaurants, and treatment rooms. Not all that needs to be done can be specified before a beginning is made. Let those in charge of the Southern work pray over the matter, and remember that God is guiding. Let no narrowness or selfishness be manifested. Plan to carry forward the work simply, sensibly, economically.?{7T 234.3}[14]
