Chapter 4—Evilspeaking Brother F has had the cause of God at heart, but he has felt too deeply, and has taken on many burdens which he should not have borne. He has suffered in health in this way. He has sometimes viewed matters in a strong light, and has been too earnest and anxious to have all see them just as he did; and because they were backward in doing so, he has felt nearly crushed. He feels to the depths, and is in danger of urging his views of things too strongly. {2T 50.1}

Bror F har haft Guds sag i sinde, men han er faldet dybt og har påtaget sig mange byrder som han ikke skulle have båret. Her har han lidt af et dårligt helbred. Nogle gange har han set tingene i et stærkt lys og har været meget alvorlig og ivrig for at få alle til at se som han gjorde og fordi de var tilbageholdende i dette, er han næsten knust. Han faldt dybt ned og er i fare for at fremhæve sine synspunkter for stærkt.
