Understanding the Worldly Point of View—An enlightened judgment compels us to acknowledge that heavenly things are superior to the things of earth, and yet the depraved heart of man leads him to give precedence to the things of the world. The opinions of great men, the theories of science, falsely so called, are blended with the truths of Holy Writ.—The Review and Herald, November 24, 1891. {2MCP 773.4}

Forstå det verdslige synspunkt — En oplyst dømmekraft tvinger os til at anerkende, at himmelske ting er langt overordnet end jordiske sager, og alligevel leder menneskets fordærvede hjerte det til at give verdens (774) ting forrang. Store menneskers meninger, videnskabsteorier, såkaldte falsum, blandes med sandhederne i den hellige skrift. — The Review and Herald, 24. november, 1891.
