I saw that it was this extra labor, when the system was exhausted, that consumed the life of dear Brother Sperry and brought him prematurely to the grave. Had he worked with reference to health he might have lived to labor until the present time. It was, also, this extra labor that exhausted the life force of our dear Brother Cranson and caused his life of usefulness to be extinguished. {2T 117.1}

Jeg så at det var ekstra arbejde når organismen blev udmattet, at det opbrugte kære bror Sperrys liv og det bragte ham alt for tidligt til graven. Havde han arbejde under sunde forhold kunne han for øjeblikket have arbejdet. Det var også denne ekstra arbejdsbyrde der opbrugte kære bror Cransons livskraft og fik hans nyttige liv udslettet.
