Peculiar Trials The position that my husband has so long occupied in the cause and work of God has been one of peculiar trials. His adaptation to business and his clear foresight have led his ministering brethren to drop responsibilities upon him which they should have borne themselves. This has made his burdens very great. And while his brethren have not taken their share of the burdens, they have lost a valuable experience which it was their privilege to obtain had they exercised their minds in the direction of caretaking, of seeing and feeling what must be done for the upbuilding of the cause. {3T 95.2}

Særlige prøvelser
Den stilling min mand så langt har haft i Guds sag og arbejde har været en med særlige prøvelser. Hans forretningssans og hans klare udsyn har fået hans tjenende brødre til at lægge de ansvar, som de selv skulle have båret, over til ham. Dette har gjort hans byrder meget store. Og medens hans brødre ikke har taget deres del af byrderne, har de mistet dyrebar erfaring som er deres privilegium at opnå hvis de havde brugt sig selv (96) til at bære byrder og se og mærke hvad der skulle gøres for sagens opbyggelse.
