There are other truths, such as the nonimmortality of the soul and the personal coming of Christ in the clouds of heaven to our earth in a short time. But these are not as objectionable as the Sabbath. Some will conscientiously accept the truth for its own sake, because it is Bible truth, and they love the path of obedience to all the commandments of God. These objectionable features of our faith will bar the way to many souls who do not wish to be a peculiar people, distinct and separate from the world. Therefore, great wisdom is required to be exercised in the matter of how the truth is brought before the people. There are certain clearly defined ends to gain at the very introduction of missionary effort. If the plans and methods had been of a different character, even if they necessarily involved more outlay of means, there would have been far better results.—Letter 14, 1887. {Ev 248.3}

Der er andre sandheder, som sjælens udødelighed og Kristi personlige komme i himlens skyer til vor jord om kort tid. Men dette er ikke så ubehageligt som sabbaten. Nogle vil med god samvittighed acceptere sandheden for sin egen sjæl, fordi det er bibelsandhed, og de elsker lydighedens sti i alle Guds bud. Disse ubehagelige træk i vor tro vil spærre vejen for mange sjæle som ikke ønsker at være et særskilt folk, adskilt og udskilt fra verden. Derfor er det nødvendig at udvise stor visdom, om hvordan sandheden bringes frem for folk. Der er visse klart definerede mål at nå når du går ind i missionsarbejde. Hvis planer og metoder blev af en anden karakter, også hvis det er nødvendigt at lægge flere midler til, så vil resultaterne blive langt bedre. - Brev 14, 1887.
