David’s exhortation to Solomon, and his appeal to the burden-bearers of the nation, should be kept in mind by those who are in positions of trust in the Lord’s cause today. In this our day God’s people will prosper only so long as they keep His precepts; and those who bear responsibilities are called upon to consecrate their service to the Lord. Conference officers, church officers, managers and heads of departments in our institutions, laborers in the field at home and abroad,—all are to render faithful service by using their talents wholly for God. The Lord is not pleased with half-hearted service. To Him we owe all that we have and are (The Review and Herald, September 14, 1905). {3BC 1129.7}

David formaning til Salomon, og hans appel til nationens byrdebærer, bør de have i sinde som er i betroede stillinger i Herrens sag i dag. På denne vor dag, vil Guds folk kun have fremgang så længe de holder Hans forskrifter, og dem som bærer på ansvar kaldes til at hellige al deres tjeneste til Herren. Konfrensens embedsmænd, menighedens embedsmænd, ledere og overhoveder på vore institutioner, medarbejdere på marken og der ude, - skal alle sammen yde en trofast (1130) tjeneste, ved at bruge deres talenter helt Gud. Herren er ikke tilfreds med halvhjertet tjeneste. Ham skylder vi alt hvad vi har og er (RH 14. sept., 1905).
