Father X made a mistake. Had he confided more in his daughters’ husbands, who loved the truth in sincerity, and had he been more willing to be helped by the advice of these men of experience, great mistakes might have been prevented. But this is the way the enemy generally succeeds in managing matters in regard to the appropriation of means. {3T 130.1}

Fader X gjorde en fejltagelse. Havde han stolet mere på sine svigersønner, som oprigtigt elskede sandheden og havde han været mere villig til at blive hjulpet av disse erfarne mænds råd, kunne store fejltagelser være undgået. Men det er en måde fjenden i normalt har held med at føre tingene når det gælder forvaltningen af midler.
