"What is being done in the Eastern cities where the advent message wasfirst proclaimed? The cities of the West have had advantages, but who inthe East have been burdened to take up the work of going over the groundthat in the early days of the message was baptized with the truth of theLord's soon coming? The light has been given that the truth should goagain to the Eastern States where we first began our work, and where wehad our first experiences. We must make every effort to spread aknowledge of the truth to all who will hear, and there are many who willlisten. All through our large cities God has honest souls who areinterested in what is truth. There is earnest work to be done in theEastern States. "Repeat the message, repeat the message," were the wordsspoken to me over and over again. "Tell my people to repeat the messagein the places where it was first preached, and where church after churchtook their position for the truth, the power of God witnessing to themessage in a remarkable manner." {GCB, May 24, 1909 par. 7}
