I have the word of the Lord for presidents of conferences. They should shoulder the responsibilities involved in the trusts reposed in them. In your work, do not try to meet a human standard, but the standard of God’s work. If you will not do this, if you will not seek the Lord most earnestly, if you will not be burden bearers, but choose to lay your whole weight of responsibilities upon the president of the General Conference, then, week by week, month by month, you are disqualifying yourselves for the work. You should leave it, and engage in common business transactions, which do not so decidedly involve eternal responsibilities. {TM 343.1}

Jeg har Herrens ord til konferensformændene. De burde påtage sig de ansvar som ligger i den tillid de har fået. Prøv ikke at efterkomme en menneskelig standart i jeres arbejde, men Guds arbejdes norm. Hvis I ikke vil gøre dette, hvis I ikke aller alvorligst vil søge Herren, hvis I ikke vil være byrdebærere, men vælger at lægge hele ansvarsbyrden på General konferensens formand, så vil I, uge for uge og måned for måned, diskvalificere jer selv til arbejdet. I bør lade det være, og gå i gang med almindelige forretninger, der ikke så bestemt involverer evige ansvar.
