When we see the difficulties standing like mountains before their souls, the prospect of want to themselves and children staring them in the face, our hearts are pained. Many a one says, “I want to observe the seventh day, but as soon as I state to my employer that I have decided to keep the Sabbath, I shall be discharged.” Hundreds are waiting to step into any place made vacant. I am sorely troubled. All we can do is to encourage them to have faith, and pray for them. Oh, sometimes I wish I had a million dollars. I could use every dollar in this work.... {Ev 239.2}

Når vi ser vanskelighederne stå som bjerge foran deres sjæle, smerter det i vore hjerter at de selv og børn der ser dem i øjnene ikke har nogen udsigter. En uønsket siger: "Jeg mangler at overholde den syvende dag, men lige så snart som jeg skriver til min arbejdsgiver at jeg har besluttet at holde sabbat, bliver jeg fyret." Hundredvis venter på at træde ud i arbejdsløshed. Jeg er stærkt bekymret. Alt vi kan gøre er at opmuntre dem til at have tro, og bede for dem. Oh, nogle gange ville jeg ønske jeg havde en million dollars. Jeg kunne bruge enhver doller til dette arbejde. . . .
