All can be a blessing to others if they will place themselves where they will correctly represent the religion of Jesus Christ. But there has been greater anxiety to make the outward appearance in every way presentable that it may meet the minds of worldly patients, than to maintain a living connection with heaven, to watch and pray, that this instrumentality of God may be wholly successful in doing good to the bodies and also to the souls of men. {4T 556.4}

Alle kan være til velsignelse for andre, hvis de vil sætte sig selv der, hvor de vil fremstille Jesu Kristi religion rigtigt. (557) Men der er lagt større iver for at gøre det ydre udseende mere præsentabelt, så det tiltaler verdslige patienter, end der er gjort for at fastholde en levende forbindelse med himmelen, for at våge og bede, så dette Guds redskab kan få held til at gøre godt i menneskers legemer og også deres sjæle.
