God’s service is not committed to one man’s judgment and option, but is divided among those who are found willing to labor interestedly and self-sacrificingly. Thus all, according to the skill and ability God has given them, bear the responsibilities that He has appointed to them. The important interests of a great nation were entrusted to men whose talents fitted them to handle these responsibilities. Some were chosen to direct the business affairs; others were chosen to look after spiritual matters connected with the worship of God. All the religious service and every branch of the business was to bear the signature of heaven. “Holiness unto the Lord” was to be the motto of the laborers in every department. It was regarded as essential that everything be conducted with regularity, propriety, fidelity, and dispatch.{3BC 1129.4}

Guds tjeneste er ikke overdraget til et menneskes dømmekraft eller mening, men er fordelt imellem dem som er villige til at arbejde interesseret og selvopofrende. Derved bærer alle, efter den dygtighed og evner som Gud har givet, de ansvar som Han har udpeget til dem. Et stort folks vigtigste interesser blev betroet mænd, som har talenter til at håndtere disse ansvar. Nogle blev valgt til at lede forretningsanliggender, andre blev valgt til at se efter åndelige sager i forbindelse med gudsdyrkelsen. Al den religiøse tjeneste på enhver forretningsafdeling skal bære himlens underskrift. ”Helliget Herren” skulle være mottoet for alle medarbejdere i alle afdelinger. Det blev anset som væsentligt at alt blev ført regelmæssigt, ordentligt, nøjagtigt og i hast.
