I told him that the best and wisest plan would be to dwell upon subjects that would arouse the conscience. He could talk to them upon practical godliness; devotion and piety; and present the self-denial, self-sacrificing life of Jesus as our example until they will see the contrast in their self-indulgent life, and become dissatisfied with their unchristian lives. {Ev 226.4}

Jeg fortalte ham at den bedste og klogeste plan ville være at dvæle ved nogle emner, som ville vække samvittigheden. Han kunne tale til dem om praktisk gudsfrygt; helligelse og fromhed; og frembringe Jesu selvfornægtende, selvopofrende liv, som vort eksempel indtil de vil se modsætningen i deres selvtilstrækkelige liv, og finde mishag for deres ukristne liv.
