Chapter 9—The Work at Battle Creek – In a vision given me at Bordoville, Vermont, December 10, 1871, I was shown that the position of my husband has been a very difficult one. A pressure of care and labor has been upon him. His brethren in the ministry have not had these burdens to bear, and they have not appreciated his labors. The constant pressure upon him has taxed him mentally and physically. I was shown that his relation to the people of God was similar, in some respects, to that of Moses to Israel. There were murmurers against Moses, when in adverse circumstances, and there have been murmurers against him. {3T 85.1}

(85) I et syn jeg fik i Bordoville, Vermont, den 10. december, 1871, fik jeg vist at min mands stilling har været meget svær. Et pres af bekymring og arbejde har hvilet på ham. Hans brødre i tjenesten havde ikke haft disse byrder at bære og de har ikke påskønnet hans arbejde. Det konstante tryk på ham har bebyrdet ham mentalt og fysisk. Jeg fik vist at hans forhold til Guds folk, i nogle forhold var lige sådan som Moses’ forhold til Israel. De knurrede imod Moses, når han var under ugunstige forhold og de knurrede også mod min mand.
