Chapter 25—Self-Caring Ministers - Brother R, your influence has not been of that character which would do honor to the cause of present truth. Had you been sanctified by the truth you preach to others, you would have been of ten times more advantage to the cause of God than you have been. You have relied so much upon creating a sensation that without this you have but little courage. These great excitements and sensational interests are your strength and glory and success as a laborer, but these are not pleasing to God. Your labors in this direction are seldom what you flatter yourself that they are. {3T 227.2}

Bror R, din indflydelse har ikke været af den art som vil ære den nærværende sandheds sag. var du blevet helliget ved sandheden som du forkynder for andre, ville du have haft ti gange mere fordel af Guds sag end du har haft. Du har gjort for meget ud af at skabe sensation gør du ikke dette har du kun lidt mod. Disse store yderligheder og sensationer er din styrke og ære og held som medarbejdere, men dette behager ikke Gud. Dit arbejde du gør i den retning er sjældent, hvilket du ellers dig selv med at det er.
