But this plain declaration has been disregarded. Even though the light has been given again and again, men are called from the fields, where they should have continued working in the love and fear of God, seeking to save the lost, to spend weeks in attending a ministerial institute. There was a time when this work was made necessary, because our own people opposed the work of God by refusing the light of truth on the righteousness of Christ by faith. This they should have received and reechoed with heart and voice and pen, for it is their only efficiency. They should have labored under the Holy Spirit’s dictation to give the light to others. {TM 401.2}

Men denne klare erklæring har været ignoreret. Selv om lyset har været givet igen og igen, er mennesker blevet kaldt fra markerne, hvor de skulle have fortsat deres gerning i kærlighed og frygt for Gud, og søge at redde det tabte, til at bruge uger i at overvære et forkyndende seminar. Der var engang hvor dette arbejde var nødvendigt, fordi vore egne folk modsatte sig Guds værk ved at afvise sandhedens lys på Kristi retfærdighed ved tro. Dette skulle de have taget imod og kastet tilbage med hjerte og stemme og pen, for det er deres eneste kraft. De skulle have arbejdet under Helligåndens styring i at give lys til andre.
