Extreme Positions . I am often greatly distressed when I see our leading men taking extreme positions, and burdening themselves over matters that should not be taken up or worried over, but left in the hands of God for Him to adjust. We are yet in the world, and God keeps for us a place in connection with the world, and works by His own right hand to prepare the way before us, in order that His work may progress along its various lines. The truth is to have a standing place, and the standard of truth is to be uplifted in many places in regions beyond. {TM 201.1}

Yderliggående standpunkter
Jeg er ofte bedrøvet når jeg ser vore ledende brødre tage yderliggående standpunkter, og bebyrde dem selv med sager som man ikke skulle have taget op eller bekymret sig over, men lade ligge i Guds hænder og lade ham bringe det i orden. Vi er stadig i verden, og Gud bevarer for os et sted i forbindelse med verden, og arbejder med sin egen højre hånd for at berede vejen for os, for at hans arbejde kan skride fremad alene i dets forskellige grene. Sandheden har et ståsted, og sandhedens norm bliver opløftet til mange steder i regionerne hinsides.
