God Judges by the Motives—There is much in the conduct of a minister that he can improve. Many see and feel their lack, yet they seem to be ignorant of the influence they exert. They are conscious of their actions as they perform them, but suffer them to pass from their memory, and therefore do not reform. {1MCP 348.3}

Gud dømmer på grund af motiverne. - Der er meget i en prædikants opførsel de kan forbedre. Mange ser og mærker deres mangel, alligevel synes de at være ligegyldige over for den indflydelse de udøver. De er klar over deres handlinger idet de udfører dem, men lader dem gå forbi deres hukommelse og derfor ikke udvirker en fornyelse.
