Day by day we may be laying up a good foundation against the time to come. By self-denial, by the exercise of the missionary spirit, by crowding all the good works possible into our life, by seeking so to represent Christ in character that we shall win many souls to the truth, we shall have respect unto the recompense of reward. It rests with us to walk in the light, to make the most of every opportunity and privilege, to grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ, and so we shall work the works of Christ, and ensure for ourselves treasure in the heavens (The Review and Herald, January 29, 1895).{6BC 1105.1}

Dag for dag kan vi samle til at godt grundlag imod den kommende tid. Med selvfornægtelse, ved at udvise missionsånd, ved at samle alle mulige gode gerninger i vort liv, ved at ville repræsentere Kristus i karakter, si vi vinder mange sjæle til sandheden, skal vi have respekt for belønningens gengældelse. Det påhviler os at vandre i lyset, og få det meste ud af enhver anledning og ethvert privilegium, til at vokse i nåden og i vor Herre Jesu Kristi kundskab, og derved skal vi gøre Kristi gerninger, og sikre os selv rigdommen i himlene. (RH 29. jan., 1895).
