There has been much lost through following the mistaken ideas of our good brethren whose plans were narrow, and they lowered the work to their peculiar ways and ideas, so that the higher classes were not reached. The appearance of the work impressed the minds of unbelievers as being of very little worth—some stray offshoot of religious theory, that was beneath their attention. Much has been lost for want of wise methods of labor. {Ev 68.3}

Der er gået meget tabt ved at følge fejlslåne idéer fra vore gode brødre, hvis planer var for snævre, og de fornedrede arbejdet til deres egne særlige metoder og idéeer, så at de højere klasser ikke blev nået. Umiddelbart giver ikke-troendes udtryk for at vort arbejde har lille værdi - nogle står ved siden for religiøse teorier, som de ikke har lagt mærke til. Meget er gået tabt af mangel på kloge arbejdsmetoder.
