O my dear sister, if you could only see, as I have seen, the ways and works of God manifested all through your perplexities and trials in the former part of your experience, when pressed by the hand of poverty, you could never forget Him, but your love would increase, and your zeal to promote His glory be untiring. {2T 271.2}

Oh min kære søster, kunne du blot se, som jeg har set, Guds veje og gerninger manifesteret i alle dine forviklinger og prøvelser i den tidlige del af din troserfaring. Skønt du var presset af armodens hånd, kunne du aldrig glemme ham, men din kærlighed forøgedes og din iver for at fremme hans ære er utrættelig.
