“God’s loyal people are the light of the world and the salt of the earth, and they should ever remember that their influence is of value. Were they to exchange the extreme long dress for the extreme short one, they would, to a great extent, destroy their influence. Unbelievers, whom it is their duty to benefit and seek to bring to the Lamb of God, would be disgusted. Many improvements can be made in the dress of women in reference to health without making so great a change as to disgust the beholder. {1T 460.2}

"Guds trofaste folk er verdens lys og jordens salt og de bør altid huske på at deres indflydelse har værdi. Skiftede de, de ekstremt lange klæder ud med nogle ekstremt korte, ville de, i stort omfang, ødelægge deres indflydelse. ikke-troende, som det er deres pligt at hjælpe og forsøge at bringe til Guds Lam, vil væmmes. Der kan gøres mange forbedringer med kvinders klæder med henblik på helbredet uden at forandre så meget så han, der ser det, væmmes.
