Had Brethren Taylor, Saunders, Cottrell, Whitney, and Brother and Sister Lindsay labored in new fields, they would now be far in advance of what they are. Meeting the opposition of opponents would drive them to their Bibles for arguments to sustain their position, and this would increase their knowledge of the Scriptures and would give them a consciousness of their ability in God to meet opposition in any form. Those who are content to go over and over the same ground among the churches will be deficient in the experience they should have. They will be weak—not strong to will and do and suffer for the truth’s sake. They will be inefficient workmen. {3T 48.2}

Havde brødrene Taylor, Saunders, Cottrell, Whitney og bror og søster Lindsay arbejdet på nye marker, ville de nu være langt længere fremme end de er nu. Når de møder modstanderes modstand vil de drives til deres bibler efter argumenter for at understøtte deres standpunkt og det vil forøge deres kundskab til skrifterne og blive klar over deres dygtighed i Gud og kan møde enhver modstand. Dem, i menighederne, som er tilfreds med blot at gå over den samme grund , vil mangle noget i deres erfaring. De vil være svage - ikke stærke til at ville og gøre og lide for sandhedens skyld. De vil være utilstrækkelige arbejdsfolk.
