From that point of time we took hold of the work in earnest and have labored side by side for the Institute to counteract the influence of selfish men who had brought embarrassment upon it. We have given of our means, thus setting an example to others. We have encouraged economy and industry on the part of all connected with the Institute and have urged that physicians and helpers work hard for small pay until the institute should again be fully established in the confidence of our people. We have borne a plain testimony against the manifestation of selfishness in anyone connected with the Institute and have counseled and reproved wrongs. We knew that the Health Institute would not succeed unless the blessing of the Lord rested upon it. If His blessing attended it, the friends of the cause would have confidence that it was the work of God and would feel safe to donate means to make it a living enterprise, that it might be able to accomplish the design of God. {3T 175.1}

Dette har været meget nedslående for læger og sygehjælpere; men de bør huske på Kristus, deres store Forbillede og ikke blive trætte af gode gerninger. Hvis en blandt mange er taknemmelige og har den rette indflydelse, bør de takke Gud og fatte mod. Denne kan være en fremmed og spørgsmålet rejser sig: Hvor er de ni? Hvorfor giver alle sabbatsholderene ikke al deres interesse og støtte til fordel for Helseinstituttet? Nogle sabbatsholdere har vist så lidt interesse, at når de uden bekostning får behandling, taler de nedsættende til betalende patienter. Jeg ønsker at sådanne overvejer deres opførsel. Herren betragter dem som han betragter de ni spedalske som ikke gik tilbage for at ære ham. Fremmede gør deres pligt og værdsætter det arbejde der gøres for deres helbredelse, medens disse påvirker dem som har forsøgt at gøre dem godt.
