Bible Instructor’s Qualifications . Caliber of Women for God’s Work—Women of firm principle and decided character are needed, women who believe that we are indeed living in the last days, and that we have the last solemn message of warning to be given to the world. They should feel that they are engaged in an important work in spreading the rays of light which Heaven has shed upon them. Nothing will deter this class from their duty. Nothing will discourage them in the work. They have faith to work for time and for eternity. They fear God, and will not be diverted from the work by the temptation of lucrative situations and attractive prospects. The Sabbath of the fourth commandment is sacredly kept by them, because God has placed His sanctity upon it, and has bidden them to keep it holy. They will preserve their integrity at any cost to themselves.... These are the ones who will correctly represent our faith, whose words will be fitly spoken, like apples of gold in pictures of silver....Sisters, God calls you to work in the harvest field and help gather in the sheaves.—The Review and Herald, December 19, 1878. {Ev 477.2}

Bibelunderviserens kvalifikationer.
Gode kvinder til Guds værk. – Der er brug for kvinder med faste og afgjorte principper, kvinder som tror at vi faktisk lever i de sidste dage, og at vi har det sidste højtidelige advarselsbudskab at give til verden. De bør føle at de er involveret i et betydningsfuldt arbejde med at sprede de lysstråler som Himlen har udgydt på dem. Intet vil afskrække denne klasse fra deres pligt. Intet vil tage modet fra dem i arbejdet. De har tro på arbejdet for denne tid og for evigheden. De frygter Gud, og vil ikke adsplittes fra arbejdet ved at fristes af lukrative situationer og attraktive udsigter. De fremholder knapt nok det fjerde buds sabbat, fordi Gud har sat Sin hellighed på den, og har påbudt dem at holde den hellig. De vil for enhver pris bevare deres renhed for dem selv. . . . Der er dem, som vil fremvise vor tro korrekt, som vil sige passende ord, ligesom æbler af guld i skåle af (478) sølv. . . . Søstre, Gud kalder jer til at arbejde på høstmarken og hjælpe med at indsamle negene. – Review and Herald, 19. dec. 1878.
