Chapter 11—To Brethren in Responsible Positions . [The articles in this section are from Special Testimonies, Series A 6:27-46 (1896).]Connection with God’s Work . Cooranbong, Australia,July 6, 1896Dear Brother -----,It has been revealed to me that the Lord proves and tries all who have named the name of Christ, but especially those who are stewards in any department of His cause. A connection with the special work of God for this time brings with it much responsibility, and the higher the position of trust, the greater the responsibility attached to it. How humble and sincere the one needs to be who is filling such a position! How fearful and mistrustful of himself! How careful to give all the praise and thanksgiving to God! {TM 279.1}

Kære bror ___:
Det er blevet vist for mig at Herren forsøger og prøver alle der påkalder Kristi navn, men særligt dem der er i grenene af hans værk. En forbindelse med Guds særlige arbejde for denne tid der bringer meget ansvar med sig, og jo højere rangeret embede jo større ansvar er der knyttet der til. Hvor ydmyg og oprigtig behøver dén at være som udfylder et sådant embede! Hvor ængstelig og mistroisk for sig selv! Hvor omhyggelig for at give al prisen og taksigelsen til Gud!
