“There is a work to be accomplished for many who live at Bordoville. I saw that the enemy was busily at work to carry his points. Men to whom God has entrusted talents of means have shifted upon their children the responsibility which Heaven has appointed them of being stewards for God. Instead of rendering to God the things that are His, they claim that all they have is their own, as though by their own might and power and wisdom they had obtained their possessions.” {3T 118.2}

"Der skal udrettes et stort arbejde for mange som bor i Bordoville. Jeg så at fjenden har travlt med at fremføre sine planer. Mennesker som Gud har betroet talenter i midler har lagt deres ansvar, som Gud har udpeget dem til som Guds forvaltere, over på deres børn. I stedet for at aflægge regnskab til Gud de ting som er hans, påstår de at alt hvad de har er deres eget, som om de ved deres egen magt og kraft og visdom selv har opnået deres besiddelser."
