"Sojourners at our outpost, encouraging each other along,

Getting ready for the Time of Trouble, which is erelong.

Country living, an outpost of refuge, this we must understand,

Jesus, is The Lord of Host, He the adversary cannot withstand."

(Sojourners Outpost Song™)

The Blessings of Living in Retired Places

"There is not one family in a hundred who will be improved physically, mentally, or spiritually, by residing in the city. Faith, hope, love, happiness, can far better be gained in retired places, where there are fields and hills and trees. Take your children away from the sights and sounds of the city, away from the rattle and din of streetcars and teams, and their minds will become more healthy. It will be found easier to bring home to their hearts the truth of the Word of God."

(Manuscript 76, 1905).

Country Living An Outpost of Refuge

"The time is fast coming when the controlling power of the labor unions will be very oppressive. Again and again the Lord has instructed that our people are to take their families away from the cities, into the country, where they can raise their own provisions; for in the future the problem of buying and selling will be a very serious one. We should now begin to heed the instruction given us over and over again: Get out of the cities into rural districts, where the houses are not crowded closely together, and where you will be free from the interference of enemies."

(Country Living, 9.5 )
