These men had lost sight of the fact that God is the teacher of His people; that every worker in His cause is to obtain an individual experience in following the divine Leader, not looking to man for direct guidance; that His workers are to be molded and fashioned, not after man's ideas, but after the similitude of the divine. 402

Disse mænd havde mistet den kendsgerning af syne, at Gud er sit folks lærer og at enhver, der arbejder for hans sag, skal opnå en personlig erfaring ved at følge den guddommelige fører og ikke se hen til mennesker for at få direkte vejledning; at hans tjenere skal formes og dannes ikke efter menneskers tanker, men til lighed med Gud selv.
