But men who are not wise advance these questions too soon, and thus close the ears of the people, when with greater care and more faith and aptness and wisdom they could have carried them along step by step through the important events in the prophecies and in dwelling upon practical subjects in the teachings of Christ.—Letter 48, 1886. {Ev 246.4}

Men mennesker som ikke er kloge, tager disse spørgsmål for hurtigt frem, og derved lukkes folks ører, selvom de med større omhu, mere tro, evne og visdom kunne have fulgt dem skridt for skridt (247) gennem betydningsfulde begivenheder i profetierne og dvælet ved praktiske emner i Kristi lære. - Brev 48, 1886.
