Ministers should follow up their public labors by private efforts, laboring personally for souls whenever there is an opportunity, conversing around the fireside, and entreating souls to seek for those things which make for their peace. Our work here is soon to close, and every man will receive his reward according to his own labor. I was shown the saints’ reward, the immortal inheritance, and saw that those who had endured the most for the truth’s sake will not think they have had a hard time, but will count heaven cheap enough. {1T 381.2}

Prædikanter bør opfølge deres offentlige virksomhed ved anstrengelser udenfor det officielle. De bør arbejde personligt for sjæle, om der så er en anledning til at tale omkring ildstedet og bede sjæle om at søge efter de ting, som giver dem fred. [Vor gerning her er snart til ende og enhver vil få løn, eftersom hans arbejde er. Jeg så de helliges løn, den evige arv og jeg så, at de, som har døjet mest for sandhedens skyld, ikke vil mene, at de har haft det hårdt, men vil regne Himlen for billig nok. Herren kommer 31.okt]
