Amusement is not to be interwoven with instruction in the Scriptures. When this is done, the hearers, amused by some cheap nonsense, lose the burden of conviction. The opportunity passes away, and no one is drawn by the cords of love to the Saviour.—Manuscript 83, 1901. {Ev 211.1}

Underholdning skal ikke indvæves i Skriftens undervisning. Sker dette, mister tilhørerne, der er underholdt af nogle billigt nonsens, deres byrde for at blive overbevist. Anledningerne går forbi, og ingen drages af kærlighedens snore til frelseren. - manuskript 83, 1901.
