The labors of Brother B will not be acceptable to God until he shall fully see and acknowledge his wrong in violating the rules of the college and shall endeavor to counteract the influence he has exerted to injure its reputation. Many more students would have come from Iowa had it not been for this unhappy circumstance. Could you, Brother B, see and realize the influence of this one wrong step, and the feelings of passion, of jealousy, and almost hatred that filled your heart because your course was questioned by Professor Brownsberger, you would tremble at the sight of yourself and at the triumph of those who cannot bear restraint and who wage war against rules and regulations which check them from pursuing their own course. Being a professed disciple of the meek and lowly Jesus, your influence and responsibility are greatly increased. {4T 430.4}

Bror B's arbejde vil ikke være antagelig for Gud, før han helt ser og erkender sin fejl, med at overtræde (431) collegets regler og begynder at modvirke den indflydelse han har udøvet til skade for dets omdømme. Mange flere studenter ville være kommet fra Iowa, hvis det ikke var for disse ulykkelige omstændigheder. Kunne du, bror B, se og erkende virkningen af dette forkerte skridt og den vrede, skinsyge og næsten had som havde fyldt dit hjerte, fordi din handlemåde blev draget i tvivl af Professor Brownsberger, så ville du skælve for øjnene af dig selv og for deres triumf, som ikke kan klare tvang og som fører krig imod regler og regulativer, der bremser dem i deres egen handlemåde. Som en bekendende discipel af den ydmyge og beskedne Jesus, forøges din indflydelse og dit ansvar meget.
