Minister’s Presentation May Mar Decision—In the past the work of Brother _____ has been represented to me in figures. It has seemed as if he was holding out to the people a vessel filled with most beautiful fruit, but that while offering this fruit to them, his attitude and manner were such that no one wanted any. Thus it has too often been with the spiritual truths that he offers to the people. In his presentation of these truths, a spirit sometimes crops out that is not heaven born. Words are sometimes spoken, reproofs given, with a drive, a vim, that causes the people to turn away from the beautiful truths that he has for them. {Ev 281.5}

Forkynderens præsentation kan ødelægge beslutningen. - Bror ___s tidligere arbejde er blevet vist mig i symboler. Det var som om at han holdt folk borte fra et kar, som er fyldt med de skønneste frugter, men den gang han gav disse frugter til dem, gjorde hans attitude og optræden at ingen ønskede noget. Sådan har det været for ofte med de åndelige (282) sandheder som han har givet til folk. I sin præsentation af disse sandheder, fremkommer nogle gange en ånd, som ikke er himmelskfødt. Der siges nogle gange ord, gives irettesættelser, med en energi, en kraft, der får folk til at vende sig bort fra de skønne sandheder som han har til dem.
