This is the course we should pursue. Time is too precious for the servants of God to devote to vindicating their character blackened by those who hate the Sabbath of the Lord. We should move forward with unwavering confidence, believing that God will give to His truth great and precious victories. In humility, meekness, and purity of life, relying upon Jesus, we shall carry a convincing power with us that we have the truth (The Review and Herald, July 6, 1886).{3BC 1138.5}

Dette er den handlemåde vi bør udøve. Tid er for dyrebar for Guds tjenere at de forsvarer deres karakter, som bliver fordunklet af dem der hader Herrens sabbat. Vi bør gå frem i urokkelig tillid, og tro at Gud vil give Sin sandhed og store sejre. Når vi livets ydmyghed sagtmodighed og renhed sætter lid til Jesus, skal vi føre en overbevisende kraft hos os, som har sandheden (RH 6. juli, 1886).
