Time to Wake Up the Watchmen—Our cities are to be worked.... Money is needed for the prosecution of the work in New York, Boston, Portland, Philadelphia, Buffalo, Chicago, St. Louis, New Orleans, and many other cities. In some of these places the people were mightily stirred by the message given in 1842 to 1844, but of late years little has been done compared to the great work that ought to be in progress. And it seems difficult to make our people feel a special burden for the work in the large cities. {Ev 34.3}

På tide at opvække vagtfolkne - Vore byer skal bearbejdes. .... Der er brug for penge til at gøre arbejdet i New York, Boston, Portland, Filadelfia, Buffalo, Chicago, St. Louis, New Orleans og mange andre byer. På nogle af disse steder blev folk stærkt oprørte af budskaberne forkyndt i 1842 til 1844, men i de seneste år er der kun gjort lidt, i sammenligning med det store arbejde der burde være i gang. Og det syntes vanskeligt at få vore folk til at føle en særlig byrde for arbejdet i de store byer.
