Frankness Encourages Confidence (counsel to a physician)—If there were far more frankness and less secretiveness, if there were brotherly confidence encouraged, if there were far less of self and more of the spirit of Christ, if you would have a living faith in God, the cloud which is now thrown across the atmosphere of the mind by Satan would be cut away.—Lt 97, 1898. {2MCP 436.1}

Åbenhjertighed opmuntrer til tillid (råd til en læge) — Hvis der var langt mere åbenhed og mindre tavshed, hvis der opmuntres til broderlig tillid, hvis der var langt mindre af selvet og mere af Kristi ånd, hvis du ville få en levende tro på Gud, ville den sky som Satan nu lægger over sindets atmosfære blive skåret bort. — Brev 97, 1898.
