I was shown the case of Brother B. He feels unhappy. He is dissatisfied with his brethren. His mind has been exercised for some time that it was his duty to carry the message. He has the ability, and, as far as his knowledge of the truth is concerned, he is capable; but he lacks culture. He has not learned to control himself. It requires great wisdom to deal with minds, and he is not qualified for this work. He understands the theory, but has not educated himself in forbearance, patience, gentleness, kindness, and true courteousness. If anything arises which does not meet his mind, he does not stop to consider whether it is wisdom to take notice of it, or to let it pass until it shall be fully considered. He braces himself at once for battle. He is harsh, severe, denunciatory, and if things do not meet his mind, he raises disturbance at once. {2T 220.1}

Jeg fik vist bror B's sag. Han føler sig ulykkelig. Han er utilfreds med sine brødre. Han har igen fået den tanke at det var hans pligt at fremføre budskabet. Han har evnen og så vidt det angår hans kundskab til sandheden er han egnet; men han mangler dannelse. Han har ikke lært at kontrollere sig selv. Det kræver stor visdom at omgås mennesker og han er ikke kvalificeret til dette arbejde. Han forstår teorien, men har ikke oplært sig selv i mildhed, tålmodighed, venlighed og sand høflighed. Hvis der er noget der støder ham, stopper han ikke op og overvejer om det er klogt at tage sig af det, eller lade det være indtil det skal have fuld opmærksomhed. Han strammer sig straks op til at slås. Han er hård, streng, anklagende og hvis noget ikke passer ham, laver han straks ballade.
