To the afflicted among our people I wish to say, Be not discouraged. God has not forsaken His people and His cause. Make known your state of health and your ability to meet the expenses of a stay at the Institute to the physicians, addressing Health Institute, Battle Creek, Michigan. Are you diseased, running down, feeble, then do not delay till your case is hopeless. Write immediately. But I must say again to the poor: At present but little can be done to help you, on account of capital already raised being invested in material and buildings. Do all you possibly can for yourselves, and others will help you some. {1T 643.2}

Til de plagede, blandt vort folk, ønsker jeg at sige: Bliv ikke modløse. Gud har ikke svigtet sit folk og sin sag. Fortæl, om din sundhedstilstand og din muligheder for at imødekomme udgifterne for et ophold på institutionen, til lægerne i Battle Creek sundhedsinstitution, Battle Creek. Er du syg, på nedtur og svag så vent ikke til dit tilfælde er håbløst. Skriv straks. Men jeg må igen sige til de fattige: For øjeblikket kan der kun gøres lidt for at hjælpe jer, fordi en nylig rejst kapital er sat i materialer og bygninger. Gør så vidt muligt alt hvad I kan selv og andre vil hjælpe jer lidt.
