The object of preaching is not alone to convey information, not merely to convince the intellect. The preaching of the word should appeal to the intellect, and should impart knowledge, but it should do more than this. The words of the minister should reach the hearts of the hearers.—The Review and Herald, December 22, 1904. {TM 62.2}

Bestanddelene i forkyndelsen skal ikke alene overbringe informationer, ikke kun for at overbevise forstanden. Forkyndelsen af ordet skulle appellere til fornuften, og skulle bibringe kundskaber, men den skulle gøre mere end det. Prædikantens ord skulle nå tilhørernes hjerter. - Review and Herald, 22. December 1904.
