When my husband recovered from his long and severe sickness, he took hold of the work confused and embarrassed as it was left by unfaithful men. He labored with all the resolution and strength of mind and body that he possessed to bring the work up and to redeem it from the disgraceful perplexity into which it had been brought by those who had their own interests prominent and who did not feel that it was a sacred work in which they were engaged. God’s hand has been reached out in judgment over these unfaithful ones. Their course and the result should prove a warning to others not to do as they have done. {3T 86.4}

Da min mand kom sig over sin lange og svære sygdom, tog han fat i arbejdet, som var efterladt i en forvirret og vanskelig tilstand af upålidelige mænd. Han arbejdede med al den fasthed (87) og styrke han havde i sind og legeme for at få værket op igen og genløse det fra den vanærende forvirring det var blevet bragt i af dem som har haft deres egne interesser som det største og som ikke følte at det var et helligt arbejde som de var involveret i. Guds hånd har være rakt ud til dom over disse upålidelige mennesker. Deres fremgangsmåde og følgen deraf viste sig som en advarsel for andre, at ikke gøre som de har gjort.
